I really liked Zed for a couple of months, when AI tab code completion was the frontier. But now I don’t hand-edit files anymore, so Zed is mostly a fast file reader for me.
I understand why a team focused on an editor would do this, because they have to figure out where to fit into this new world. I guess I’m mostly looking for a product now that lets me review large amounts of code easily, add comments, and interact with many agents working on the same codebase in worktrees (or similar) at once. I’m unsure whether this would be something like that?
Hi, I'm the author of GAI. I'm glad that you are happy with it! I'm using it a lot myself, both for own and client projects, but I wasn't sure if anyone else was. :D
I'm actually trying to build it out in a way so that gateways aren't necessarily necessary. Cost and token tracking happen through OpenTelemetry. Fallbacks and retries are handled through the new “robust” package, and I have other plans as well. You're always welcome to file issues in the repo for things you'd like to see but aren't there yet. :-)
I think you had a post about marimo notebooks at some point? I think they would be better suited for that. Their representation is just Python, they can run as scripts, and they have native HTML output. But of course, it only works for Python.
I guess it would still make sense to have "demo" and "browser-use" skills, so that the agent can reach for them proactively? I always try to remove as much friction as possible for myself, one little bit at a time.
My problem is that I work in dozens of different repos generally using Claude Code for web, which doesn't have a way to install extra global skills yet.
I don't want to duplicate my skills into all those repos (and keep them updated) so I prefer the "uvx tool --help" pattern.
That's actually one of the things that has kept me from using Claude Code web (that, and I often need a Chrome browser for the agent). But they must be working on it.
I saw an MCP I've set up on claude.ai show up in my local Claude Code MCP list the other day, it seems inevitable that there will be skills integration across environments as well at some point.
In working on Rodney I found out that the Claude Code for web environment has a Chrome browser installed already. It's a shame you can't see its output directly - even if it takes a screenshot there's no easy way to view it other than having it commit and push that to a branch in GitHub.
If you're coming from the Python world, definitely. I find `go install github.com/simonw/rodney@latest` equally easy. :D Although you need the Go tooling installed, of course. But so much agree, Go is great for CLIs!
