This is why I run Claude Code in a VM.
Follow up question - is there a claude code alternative with an open source harness that also costs around ~$20/month? Doesn’t have to be frontier.

#32I can see that others might not like it, but this is the behavior I desire.
Just prompt it that way then, I can get Claude to plow through features for 12h with the correct prompt and setup, no need to destroy the tools that are useful when you want the opposite.

#33I’ve definitely sometimes had situations where this would make sense, and also where Claude asks a question not using this tool and it’d make sense to just keep going.
But this does seem like the wrong default to me. I’ve found if I tell Claude I’m AFK and just keep going, it’ll do that reliably. And it’s good at debriefing me afterward on what decisions it made that it would have asked me about.

OpenCode?

I like https://github.com/vercel-labs/coding-agent-template
It’s been fairly handy - I recently spun this up using glm5.2

deepseek + pi.dev maybe? it is hard to beat subsidized consumer plans. sonnet is 10usb/M token.

#37Earlier quoted context omitted.
I am fine with this, and I will go as far as to say this is how most devs will be using agents soon (the big companies have already been using agents like this for 6-12 months.) I don't want my agent to pause on some inane question once I let it loose. I might not even be at my computer for that. Usually it makes the right decision anyways. If it doesn't I can always undo what it did. If you're worried about it getti…
"I love lax security features therefore you should too." Defaults should be safe and risky action should be done at the user's own discretion
It's not security related. If you aren't running agents in a sandbox today, that's a "you" problem.
It's purely architecture/design related and the last thing anyone wants is coming back at the end of the day to find their agent didn't make progress because it was stuck on a response.
You can always redirect the agent or scrap its work, you can't undo the lost time.

#38for me fable does things nobody asked for

#39Just today I was thinking why isn’t there an optional timeout parameter for this tool

Then why even ask the question if the answer wasn't needed?
