For the record, that prompt is definitely not there yet! After an hour or so of churning, it had managed to lose a bunch of code and couldn't work out how to progress. I think that getting it to rebase on the new branch is probably a mistake, as that leads to conflicts that it finds hard to resolve.

FWIW here's a prompt I'm currently experimenting with for splitting up a large PoC (>100 commits) into something potentially reviewable. It's doing fairly decently so far. gist.github.com/rogpeppe/abf...

I'm probably just being misguided in how I'm doing things here though. It's fun to explore!

Yeah, that's my issue. It doesn't :) Esc interrupts the whole sub-agent task. Interestingly too, when a sub-agent asks for permission, the "Tell Claude what to do differently" choice is greyed out - I can't guide a sub-agent like I would the top level.

I do love it when someone from a totally different interest sphere of mine expresses enjoyment of something I love from another (particularly when the "other" are friends 😀)

I love hearing war stories like this. And lock-free algorithms are _hard_!

I honestly don't get the love for TUIs. Everything's passive apart from one tiny spot that you can only poke at with linear key presses. Is it just that they're easier to code up?
