But then that means they are editing a markdown file on your computer? How is that meant to work? I like the idea but would rather it use Slack or something if it's meant to ask anyone.
this is mainly meant as a way to conversate with the model while you are programming with it. This is not meant to pull questions to a team but more to pair program. a markdown file is best for syntax in an llm prompt and also just easiest to have open and answer questions with. If i had more time and could i would build an extension into cursor.
Conversate is not a word.

What I'm describing is a human in the loop. It's just a different UX, one that is easier to use and closer to what the model is trained to use.
Human in the loop means despite your best efforts at initial prompting (which is what rules are), there will always be the need to say "no, that's wrong, now do this instead". Expecting to be able to write enough rules for the model to work fully autonomously through your problem is indeed wishing for AGI.
In my example, the human would be in the loop in exactly the same way as the technique in the article. The human can tell the model that it's wrong and what to do instead.
Tools like th one in the article are also "rules".

Why not have the model ask in the chat? It's a lot easier to just talk to it than open a file. The article mentions cursor so it sounds like you're already using cursor?
Because i only have 500 requests in my cursor usage plan so if there's a way for claude to ask me questions (e-g missing context) without it taking an entire new request, i'll take. Haven't tried it yet but looking forward to it

#59- someone sets up an “ask human as a service mcp” - demand quickly outstrips offer of humans willing to help bots - someone else hooks up AI to the “ask human saas” - we now have a full loop of machines asking machines
This is pretty much already possible in any economy, but quite a waste. Not much is stopping you from buying products from a retailer and selling them at a wholesaler, but you'd lose money in doing so.
I mean, losing money is practically de rigeur in the startup community right?
