"After reading the README end to end, my reaction was: this thing was built for my use case. The positioning isn't 'a coding agent that can also use your computer' — it's 'an agent that can drive your entire Mac, and happens to be very good at code.'"

"This is a more specific design than most agent harnesses document, and the read-before-edit gate in particular is the kind of constraint that prevents the classic failure where an agent overwrites a file it only half-remembered."

"An AI agent's 'done' may be a claim, not a result. … What's interesting in the README is not the capability list but the design that treats 'done' as the weaker thing: a task cannot declare completion until each goal_state criterion is satisfied with evidence, an opt-in critic can review the diff before completion, and task-scoped rewind, the read-before-edit gate, typed tool errors and context compaction support the long agent loop."

"Agent! 1.0.99 and 1.1.1 addressed the problem in stages. Their useful contribution is simple: shortening context should not destroy the route back to evidence. Active context holds a small index. Disk holds the large result. Tokens are spent again only when the agent reopens a particular item."

"This version no longer ends cleared tool results with a bare [cleared] during context compaction; it leaves a 2-line preview that identifies the file or command, plus a way to recover it. … The benchmark for coding-agent context is shifting from how much it can hold to how safely it can bring back what it removed."
