Agents Workbook watch Claude Code, Codex write down their working notes

Contribute to softcane/agents-workbook development by creating an account on GitHub.

What it does

Give your coding agent a workbook; it thinks out loud, writes down its reasoning, and you read along while it works. A local proxy that adds one tool to every request going out of Claude Code or Codex: somewhere to think out loud. The model writes, the notes land on a dashboard at 127.0.0.1:8080 , and your client gets back the ordinary reply. Not a summary. The default wording asks for the decision the model is making, the alternatives it rejected, and what each would have cost, at whatever length the problem earns. Notes run long, and that is the point. I built this to answer the question like: does an agent's stated plan match what it goes on to do? Do not use it to distill, mine, or…from github.com

    Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
