1. you create a lot of worktrees in your workflow

2. you use pnpm, uv, and Postgres 18 clone-based database branching

They all think I used 1T+ of my SSD that is only 500GB, because they don't know about APFS clones or hardlinks, they think my node_modules or venv in each worktree takes up 2GB, even though 30 of the worktrees are actually sharing the same 2GB of dependencies

du, honest supports both a web server mode that will serve up an interactive drill-down tree-view of your directories, as well as a CLI that outputs JSON for your LLMs

## What makes it different:

(Aside from GUI) A core tenet is -- everything a user can do manually, must be exposed via CLI for agents/automation

Best paired with something that lets agents in different worktrees talk to each other (e.g. https://github.com/cheapsteak/agent-channels)

## Background:

I used and loved Conductor for months starting around January, but hit some persistent issues that made me realize that a core tool that I'm actively using for most of my waking hours sits too close to my skin to produce itches that I can't scratch myself

After realizing I needed to switch to something hackable, I went through a few week-ish long trials of dmux, claude-squad, and agent-deck. They were all great, but I then realized I really didn't want to memorize keyboard shortcuts, and I've managed to put off learning how to drive tmux for over a decade, didn't want to end that streak XD

So TBD happened in March. In the months since, it's gotten stable enough to the point where a few former and current colleagues have switched to using it as their daily drivers as well. It's been kind of like a fun little club house we contribute to

The architecture is a daemon that handles the bulk of state management and actual work, and CLI and GUI clients as two interfaces. Users go through GUI, LLMs and scripts go through CLI.

It works best for Claude Code (our shared daily drivers) but two of us also use Codex on the side, so there's some basic support there as well

The only way to run it is to clone and build from source, partially b/c I imagine the main appeal is for people who need to hack on the thing they're using (but also b/c didn't want to shell out for an Apple dev license)

I think it's now a good enough starting point for similarly minded folks to use as a base to fork and build your own variants, tailored to your own workflows

for lint issues that are autofixable, the tool use can trigger formatting on that file and fix it right away

for type issues (ts, pyright), you can return something like `{\"hookSpecificOutput\":{\"additionalContext\":$escaped},\"continue\":true}"` to let the edit complete but let Claude know that there are errors to fix next turn

does that not get a bit cluttered after a while? do you ever clean up old ones?

English behaviour descriptions -> generated tests

Use both behaviour descriptions and feedback from test results to iterate on app development

What's the scale, how are people evaluated against the scale etc

Yup guilty, I'm a bit neurotic about keeping things charged in case I need it later, didn't realize this affected battery life

TIL, thank you

I've had battery discharge problems with the Pixel 4 and 5 just a few months out of warranty. Hope that's been fixed in more recent generations?

(Title in submission is the title I originally intended and submitted to freeCodeCamp. Their editor changed it to what it is now ("How to" and "keep your code reviewers happy"). I then edited it back to what I originally submitted. The editor then overrode my edit and reverted it back )
