  • Not another coding agent please -_-
  • On the contrary, there is much to innovate in agent and coding agent space. I wouldn't assume coding agents are solved for good that new solutions are pointless.
  • Look promising but one thing many of these agents don't seem to offer is a way to reduce the output of the agent. Many people are growing very tired from running multiple agents a day and taking in so much content. There are some skills and prompts people use to help reduce some of this, but Claude Code (for example) cannot customize every aspect of the output. I don't need to see Bash commands or even generated code in the terminal output all day. Just simple updates about what the agent is doing next would be fine. Customizable of course.
  • That's a very good point. I myself have been getting hooked to terminal throughout the day and indeed, it requires a lot of reading. As a first iteration, Keen can have a concise mode where agent prose is precise, tool call rendering is minimal, bash outputs are hidden. That feels a good minimalist approach.

    Thanks, I think I will work on this.
