I feel like the value would be in analyzing those rich traces with another agent to extract (failure) patterns and learnings, as part of a flywheel setup. As a human I would rarely if ever want to look at this -- I don't even have time to look at the final code itself!
> value would be in analyzing those rich traces with another agent to extract (failure) patterns and learnings Claude Code supports hooks. This allows me to run an agent skill at the end of every agent execution to automatically determine if there were any lessons worth learning from the last session. If there were. new agent skills are automatically created or existing ones automatically updated as apporpriate.
Yes, I've done the same. But the issue is that the agent tends to learn too many lessons, or to overfit those lessons to that single session. I think the benefit of a tool like this is that you can give that agent a wider view when formulating recommendations.

Try running `/insights` with Claude Code.
There is no such command, according to the docs [0]. /s
I continue to find it painfully ironic that the Claude Code team is unable to leverage their deep expertise and unlimited token budget to keep the docs even close to up-to-date automatically. Either that or they have decided accurate docs aren't important.

> if OpenAI can essentially work with Monopolly money, whey can´t "we" do it too? The answer is, in case anyone wonders: because OpenAI is providing a general purpose tool that has potential to subsume most of the software industry; "We" are merely setting up toll gates around what will ultimately become a bunch of tools for LLM, and trying to pass it off as a "product".
For the huge amounts of capital already burnt, and another 1T in CapEX RPO being announced last few weeks and months, isnt that too many of "potentially" and "ultimately" unspecific qualifiers you are throwing around here? Reminds a lot of Sam Altmans classic lines of unspecific statements like "Codex is so good" or "I can only imagine how good it will get" by the end of 202x (insert year of the decade according to y…
We are in an era of solutions being invented and developed at a rapid pace. The identification or invention of problems that they are good at solving has a much slower lifecycle.

#486Checkpoints are not granular enough. You have to grab a work summary before the context window closes, not when you decide to commit. I have thousands of work summaries from one project alone. I use them to traverse sessions.
This is the agent that does the work: https://github.com/ChicagoDave/devarch/blob/main/docs/.claud...
My success with Claude Code is directly related to this agent and its output.

Sure... you `git add` the context text generated by AI and `git commit` it, could be useful. Is that worth 60 million?
They raised 60 million. The investors think it’s worth 600M+
Its like github - with the word Ai.
I LOVE THIS FOUNDER - I am a 10 out of 10 - YES!!!
Take my (investors) money

#488Imagine shipping a product, and a few weeks later, you see Thomas Dohmke raise $60M for almost the exact same idea.
Some weeks ago we launched this:
https://github.com/Legit-Control/monorepo/tree/main/examples...
The idea was simple: keep AI prompts, intents, and conversations alongside your code and commits — basically treating AI interaction as first-class development artifacts. everything just plain Git
We struggled to get momentum. Things happen.
Now, less than 24 hours ago, Thomas announced Entire.io:
“Entire CLI hooks into your git workflow to capture AI agent sessions on every push. Sessions are indexed alongside commits, a searchable record of how code was written.”
That’s… very, very close to what we tried to build.
Honestly, I love the vision and think this will matter a lot in the AI age. It’s validating to see someone with that reach betting big on it.
Best of luck to Thomas and the team behind Entire.

What kind of barrier/moat/network effects/etc would prevent someone with a Claude Code subscription from replicating whatever "innovation" is so uniquely valuable here? It's somewhat strange to regularly read HN threads confidently asserting that the cost of software is trending towards zero and software engineering as a profession is dead, but also that an AI dev tool that basically hooks onto Git/Claude Code/termin…
This comment feels word-for-word the legendary DropBox critique on HN.
It was only legendary because DropBox hit it out of the park. In hindsight it is easy to see this. And it's the default HN response to anything.
Re: Ex-GitHub CEO launches a new developer platform for AI agents
#490> Checkpoints are a new primitive that automatically captures agent context as first-class, versioned data in Git. When you commit code generated by an agent, Checkpoints capture the full session alongside the commit: the transcript, prompts, files touched, token usage, tool calls and more. This thread is extremely negative - if you can't see the value in this, I don't know what to tell you.
> if you can't see the value in this, I don't know what to tell you.
You could perhaps start by telling what value you see in this? And what this company does that someone can't easily do themselves while committing to GH?
