- Working with AI feels a little like assembling Zonai devices in a Zelda game: you have to build the machine that will go do the thing.
Selective skill activation
- This morning I was reviewing a pr my agents opened in my dotfiles to install TWG/Agent/Skills, which would make the skill available globally, much like the global skills that ship with herdr.
- I installed herdr a while back, used it heavily for a week, and haven't touched it sense, mostly because its conceptual model was rough.
- I still want to keep it around in my arsenal in case it develops into a more agent native mental model that I can understand and that works with my workflows. For example, if it had task awareness, with task-worker mapping, hierarchical agents, honoring worktrees within projects, and allowing one to switch between projects quickly like the tmux Session Picker, that would be great.
- Yesterday, I noticed that something in my My/Dotfiles installed, with herdr, an AI/Agent/Hook that loads context on session load. That's pretty inefficient! That means that all my sessions - even those that don't begin in herdr - get that loaded in. I need to fix that.
Better mechanisms
- Ideally, I'd have some kind of settings that I could edit from the terminal that, either globally or in a particular session, would specify the workflows I expect my agents to use. Then I could easily activate or deactivate the plugins and skills that I think should be active.
- 2026-10-05 Mon I added the My/AI/Rule/Dev/Workflow workspace to record a few of these workflows. Maybe I could list which ones were active globally there as a default, then somehow I could indicate on a task-specific basis which workflows should deviate from those defaults.
- Added Idea/Fortui - the Form TUI Markup Language.
- Most of this is only relevant in a world where context is limited.
