You don’t specify how it works, how it looks, and you barely specify the markup.The perspective that I think was really important is: It seems that the agents want human tools.We know this cuz we give agents human tools all the time within the codegen tooling: git, ls, readfile, writefile, cat, etc.The agents go ham with t...
