it seems like ai providers are getting better at deciding when to make sub-agents on their own. but i'm actively exploring this and will hopefully have more to report back sooner than later. your approach is cool.

it's also, helpful for asking tangential questions about the current claude session, while allowing it to keep running but not interfering with it.

Love to hear others pain points around terminals!

So I built auto-snap into Yaw — launch any AI coding CLI and it detects it and splits the pane automatically. Agent on the left, fresh shell in the same directory on the right. Works with Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and Vibe CLI. You can install any of them through a built-in wizard.

Yaw is also a full terminal (tabs, split panes, broadcast, search, session restore, WebGL via xterm.js) with a built-in connection manager for SSH, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, MongoDB, and Redis — encrypted credentials, Tailscale auto-detection, remote Screen session management. And a chat panel that sends terminal output as context to Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Ollama, and six other providers.

Electron + xterm.js + React. v0.9.75, Windows and macOS.

Curious what other people's AI coding CLI setups look like — what's working, what's missing?

Yaw turned into a terminal that does three things in one app: terminal emulation, connection management, and AI.

The terminal side has what you'd expect — tabs, split panes, broadcast mode, search, a command palette, session restore. WebGL-rendered with xterm.js. It's fast and stays out of the way.

The connection manager is where it started getting useful for me personally. I'm constantly SSH-ing into servers and connecting to databases. yaw lets me save SSH, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, MongoDB, and Redis connections with encrypted credentials. It detects Tailscale machines automatically. There's a Remote Sessions panel for managing GNU Screen sessions on any SSH host. And a setup wizard that can install database servers locally if you don't have them.

The AI piece started as a simple chat window — talk to Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Mistral, Grok, or Ollama with your terminal output as context. Select an error, ask what it means, get an answer that actually references what's on your screen.

But the part I'm most excited about is the AI CLI tool integration. Run Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, or Vibe CLI and Yaw automatically splits the pane — AI tool on the left, a fresh terminal in the same directory on the right. You can install any of them through a built-in wizard. It's a small thing but it completely changed how I use these tools day to day.

v0.9.60, available on Windows 10+ and macOS 12+. Would love feedback — especially on the AI CLI tool workflow and what you'd want to see next.

anecdotally i had a 2011 Nissan Leaf 1st year it came out. Was neat. I have not gone back to electric. I sold it for $800 with 90k miles on it.

eksctl just really impressed me with its eks management, specifically managed node groups & cluster add-ons, over terraform.

that uses cloudformation under the hood. so i gave it a try, and it’s awesome. combine with github actions and you have your IAC automation.

nice web interface for others to check stacks status, events for debugging and associated resources that were created.

oh, ever destroy some legacy complex (or not that complex) aws shit in terraform? it’s not going to be smooth. site to site connections, network interfaces, subnets, peering connections, associated resources… oh, my.

so far cloudformation has been good at destroying, but i haven’t tested that with massive legacy infra yet.

but i am happily converted tf>cf.

and will happily use both alongside each other as needed.

and i did also say it was complicated and nuanced so please do not ignore that detail of my comment.

i’m glad to hear life is good, and to hear you’re humble enough to acknowledge it could be better. it could be better over here, too. are we doing it right or are you? i have no idea. :)

we’re probably both doing things right and wrong. should it even be solved? are we just living a Memento (great movie) like existence where we’re keeping ourselves busy and at war because if we all got along we would over-populate the planet and destroy earth?

what if our ignorant violent human behavior is actually an environmental mitigation technique?

i can tell you being physically strong comes with it violence and is at the fabric of being an American. so i’d say the issue is complicated and nuanced as is most.

breaking the law (through violence) is also American. we stand up for what we believe in. even if it means breaking the law and going against our government. this is America.

the fact that you have better outcomes for crime is great. how’s your investment system? how’s your sports teams? how’s your military? how’s your stock market? how’s your currency?

gotta show them we’re not afraid to play their game and win it as well.

we should be able to play any game, any time. But based on that direct the game to be of higher moral ground.

editing this comment as apparently we’ve reached our thread comment limit.

yes, bargaining from a position of power. that would allow to direct it to a more suitable place. banding together with individuals of power to produce combined power. you say it’s impossible and then say exactly how we’re going to do it. :)

i hope you know this has been a very enjoyable conversation for me.

all knowledge is on the internet. we do not need college at all. that will come to be more evident. but colleges got lots o’ money from donors to prolong their livelihoods.

dare i say, gangster moves back are REQUIRED.

to whoever downvoted this, you want to take the high road? when our citizens’ voting rights have been marginalized?

or are you just turned off by the word gangster?

anyway, i propose making the gerrymandering an anti—american thing. which it is.

make it the center of everything. there should be zero other issues until the ability to vote on the issues for all our people has been corrected.

i would call out every single politician that was responsible for this gerrymandering. repeatedly, over and over again until they were harassed into a retirement recluse. that is my gangster counter move proposal.

focus on the individual politicians reponsible for this and launch an all out aggressive offensive to eradicate their whole memory from America.

if you want to have a better life for everyone then what is your solution? you do not provide one.

my solution is if enough people with the right thinking also become neofeudal overlords then we can exercise the change you’re talking about.

do you think some day everything is just going to magically snap into place and everyone will just be fair?

it has been fought for and died over for thousands of years to get where we are. and we are lucky that much less of us have to die in order to stand up for what we believe in.

now we can just make money and use that to effect change. pretty cool evolution of civilization if you ask me.

in addition, what’s wrong with solving the problem for me first? then taking care of others? that’s exactly the right approach.

others can then follow the same approach. now we have a lot of feudal overlords.

diversified micro feudalism is the term that this conversation has spurred. i like it!

Or you could raise the capital by pitching investors that have money because you actually have a good idea.

or you don’t have a good idea. you don’t have any money. and you want to complain.

what are you asking for? that your parents were more rich? that everyone has the exact same amount of money?

what are you striving for in this comment? are you pointing out that life is unfair? i do agree with that.
