Very ironic this page is full of AI text

I am once again asking for people to ask Claude to reformat their article text to ASD-STE100 so that I don't have to read slop

Hello everyone! I made this app to better monitor changes that agents make in my repositories. It's free and open source - happy to answer any questions!

Hello everyone! Happy to finally present my recent project here on HN :)

The primary problem this software tries to solve is keeping the shape of a project in your head while agents run rampant on it. The more you work with agents the less you understand what's going on. In cotect all changes are easy to locate, you can move quickly through the codebase with WASD and you also get some bonus info like import graphs and basic code analysis. All code is open source on GitHub and software is completely free. Please let me know if you have questions or feedback!

I think it's difficult to compete in this space because right now to build the "full IDE" you have to build an extremely capable harness (very hard) and a very good IDE (very hard). I plan to continue using Claude Code and built myself a small tool to verify what the agents actually do + move around the codebase quickly but it's a far cry from a full IDE: https://cotect.dev

Recently finished building cotect:

https://cotect.dev

It's a fast code inspector for agents so that you can easily verify changes before they end up on GitHub and also quickly move around the codebase to keep its shape in your head (to make sure your prompts stay high-signal).

I stopped reading at "This isn’t just my opinion. You can ask Opus 4.6." I guess this is how AI psychosis looks like?

Terminal hunks speed by and I want to review the changes locally before they are on GitHub. Looking through VSC is very slow because it's aimed at writing, not reading, code. In cotect you can move through the repository quickly with WASD and you can approve/comment on hunks that you've viewed and any comments you leave you can copy all at once so you can pipe them down to your agent at once instead of interrupting its work every time you find an issue (or otherwise you forget about that issue - yes I have ADHD).

I was frustrated with not being able to properly review code changes that agents make, looking for a middle ground between VSC and Claude Code. So I built one. Still in early development but its working (mostly) and I hope dogfooding will get me all the way to something great :)

It's literally a single file that only supports multiple Claude instances :) so I guess simplicity

While I agree it's not super safe, even CC is installed this way: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/quickstart

Personally I have multiple instances of Claude on my PC dedicated to different areas (split between my private subscription and my work one) and it is useful to see both at a glance. And I don't have to keep the terminal open to see how much time is left for quota to be reset. But for single-Claude users this is indeed a valid solution!

Doesn't it autocompact only if it is about to run out of context? On these newer models the context is 1M tokens so it's quite difficult to reach. I run compacts manually when I stop in a good place and tokens are over 300k

Seems completely backwards to me. This is like judging Formula 1 just by the raw power of the engine. The rest of the car has just as much engineering, if not more.

Calling autism and ADHD "habits of attention" severely understates what's going on. These are neurodevelopmental conditions with substantial genetic and neurobiological components, not patterns someone can think their way out of. That framing has done real damage to people who delayed treatment because they believed they just needed more discipline or insight. Meditation can be a useful complement for some people, but it's not an alternative to addressing the underlying neurochemistry. By saying so you are hurting real people with real problems.
