Watching the OpenClaw/Molbot craze has been entertaining. I wouldn't use it - too much code, changing too quickly, with too little regard for security - but it has inspired me. I often have ideas while cleaning around, cooking, etc. Claude Code (with Opus 4.5) is very capable. I've long wanted to get Claude Code working hands-free. So I took an afternoon and rolled my own STT-TTS voice stack for Claude Code. The voic…

I've been leaning towards multi agent because sub agent relies on the main agent having all the power and using it responsibly.

What does that mean?

Have you come across the lethal trifecta [1]? I'm interested in decomposing tasks to avoid any agent doing all three and having limited data pipes between them.
