> let a coding agent run loose with them without approving every tool use You should try. There’s a difference in kind between approving each tool use and spinning up an all-night session with full permissions to run any tools, encouraged to run subagents to preserve context.
Thanks, I'll pass. I do pre-approve read-only tools though, and some very specific tools that can change state (append data to a specific file). That's what works best for me so far: start with open-ended exploration with me approving everything. Have it fork subagents to write scripts that automate the most common requests from the main agent, review and eventually approve those, and then let it go using those tools…
