#5Perhaps worth noting (this wasn't obvious to me from the web site but is revealed when you go to the GitHub project) that this is from Vercel. I agree that the expected use case could do with some fleshing out. For instance it isn't clear to me whether they mean "agent" as in "the AI thing everyone talks about now" or as in "just what you might have termed an agent a few years ago before AI".
Also interesting that a bunch of it is written in C. Wondering if that C code was LLM-generated.
