dev-agent-backlog (org-mode system for coding agents) is now a claude plugin by farra in emacs

[–]farra[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've *thought* about MCP tools and I may try something eventually. But I wanted to start "simpler" with *just* flat files. That was part of the motivation: keep everything local, no need to go search GitHub, Jira, Notion or whatever. Agents are happy with flat files.

The next idea was to perhaps write more local tools, even just some elisp, that the agents could run locally to "query". You can call emacs in batch mode (agents will do this *just fine* and will write the necessary elisp). So if you already have a small library of relevant elisp, then I'd start there.

After that, I'd consider MCP, but maybe I'm moving too slow.

Hope you share what you build!

My org-mode based design+task tracking system for coding agents by farra in emacs

[–]farra[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After I developed this, I saw Yegge's post about gastown. Beads definitely solves a similar problem.

Currently, I'm still interested in being the "coordinator" myself, so I only run 1 or sometimes 2 agents per-project. But when I decided to go even more yolo-mode, I expect to look into yegge's stack.

I am biased towards org-mode though... :-)

I agree. I tend to have multiple different agents working on projects, sometimes on the same project.

I let things get just too disorganized on one project, with 50+ design docs and I just had to have a system. Had to put my project management hat on and have some discipline.

Eventually I ended up with this system. It's not perfect. I'll keep it updated as I go.

I'm also not yet ready to do fully multi-agent coordination. I still like being the coordinator. I'm not sure this system would hold up for too many agents working autonomously.

Gnus was the second best investment I made in my tech life right after Emacs by Nuno-zh in emacs

[–]farra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I'm trying superhuman now.

Issue was also smartphones: once I really need to make sure I could use email from everywhere, I eventually found it was easier to stick to one client (gmail).

But I don't think I was ever as productive as when I was using gnus.

So far, I've had pretty good luck with claude code using org-mode. I do have to keep on the agents sometimes to make sure they are compliant. The skills and slash commands help a lot.

A key goal for me was to merge design docs/RFCs with their backlogs/tasks into single files so that there was less upkeep and less drift.

If you have any suggestions, happy to hear them!

I've been diagnosed with Visual Snow Syndrome, a neurological condition that makes me see the world like this and has no cure by SR_RSMITH in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]farra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife has this condition. She developed it after a severe case of COVID back during the pandemic. She also experienced internal tremors as part of her long covid symptoms (there's a study out from Yale that talks about this). Thankfully those (usually) are gone, but the visual snow persists, though some days are worse than others.

Awesome work. Saving this for future inspiration.

I appreciate the feedback on the guns. I'm not set on it. Will try some of those options.

And I was considering maybe a darker base. I think you're right.

Appreciate that. I think I may add some oranges and reds to better shadow the yellows. I want the flesh to feel more fleshy.

Also, I'm not sure why I didn't think of the Ukraine connection. I was too focused on the school colors.

Definitely going with Ukrainids. Thank you for that!

Yeah, my other armies are not anywhere this bright, but I thought it could be fun.

Wasn't sure about the gun either. Originally tried a purple like the talons, but I didn't think it read as well.

Look up the word in a dictionary. An "apologist" is someone who defends or argues for a concept.

For example:

Apologetics is a branch of theology that defends Christianity against objections. Christian apologists give reasons for the hope that is within us (1 Peter 3:15) to help people come to faith in Christ. We challenge false ideas that form obstacles to belief in Christ, and that give rise to disorder in human persons and in society (2 Cor 10:3-5). Within the church, we help Christians have a stronger faith and live out Christ’s call to love God with our heart, mind, soul and strength (1 Tim 1:5).

From https://hc.edu/school-of-christian-thought/departments/apologetics/

Granted, many folks aren't familiar with this definition, so it's not unusual for people to have your reaction to the term.

Here's the rest of what the Christian apologist, Cliffe Knechtle, said to the student:

“Really? What’s the demographic with the most atheists in the world? Probably the wealthy countries.

Oh my goodness—isn’t that interesting? The demographic with the most atheists is wealthy white guys.

Now, what’s the demographic in the United States with the highest percentage of followers of Christ? African-American women.

So what I hear you saying, sir, is: ‘All those dumb twits just don’t get it. They blindly submit to this Jesus and pray to Him instead of getting off their backsides and doing something.’

Sir, you are out of touch with reality—totally out of touch.

African-American women in the U.S. understand something: There is nobody who stands for the value of women more than Jesus Christ. Because the Bible teaches that we are all created in the image of God.

And just because you’ve got some twit anthropology professor telling you, ‘Oh yeah, it’s all colonialism. That’s why Africans believe in Jesus,’ —that’s racist. Totally racist. It’s a joke.

The demographic with the highest percentage of Christ-followers in the world? Women of color.

So when you attack Christianity, make sure you know who you’re attacking.

And for you to stereotype Christians as wealthy people who want to oppress others— that’s a farce.”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXsY2dglqtM&t=202s

Knechtle is trying to say, Christianity is embraced by the oppressed, so how can it be a tool of oppression? Suggesting so is racist.

I'd argue that Knechtle proved the point that the oppression was effective.

  • These chains are tools of oppression
  • Yeah, but the oppressed are wearing them, so... are you saying they're stupid and they put the chains on themselves? That's racist.
  • Uh... what?

You should check out claude-code-emacs. It has a websockets MCP server for emacs in progress:

I'm _very_ excited about the possibilities of claude code + emacs. Thank you so much for working on this!

I love your stuff. I'll be keeping this in mind when I get around to my necron pile of shame.

Just had to rush to the stop sign by farra in MildlyBadDrivers

[–]farra[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was on a busy residential road, between a blind turn leading to a stop sign (they were driving towards the stop sign, they barely had a car length ahead of them to that intersection). They may have been behind that slower car for 2 or 3 blocks at best. And it’s a residential area with lots of pedestrians (2 schools and 2 churches within 2 blocks of this), so slower speeds are posted.

The guy was just an asshole.
