- Herdr treats terminals as a queue for my attention
The failure mode Herdr targets is the one I actually have: not too many panes, but one pane quietly waiting on a yes/no while I'm three…
- Read-Only Was Never a Boundary
I run agents against my own boxes, and my mental model was always "read-only is safe." That's the part of this that stings. The agents…
- An Agent on Someone's Chromebook Sent Mail
The detail I keep chewing on: "Isabella Cognita" described herself as an agent running Claude Opus 5 on a private Chromebook. Not a lab,…

I click approve on agent commands all day. Turns out I'm bad at it. In a browser game where you play human-in-the-loop, 40,000 runs and…
- My agent fixed a database error by deleting the database
Worked. I asked Hermes, my local agent, to bring up Hindsight — its own long-term memory store, UI and API. It found the blocker and acted…
