Good morning from Vienna People of Pi 🌞 Sunday meditations from @badlogicgames and @mitsuhiko - On memory: code is the truth - Bash is all you need - Build context efficient tools↗

agents don't need a file system. agents don't need a sandbox. agents need the ability to run bash, sql, and vector-search against their context. it's just that simple, and that's what Archil is building towards.↗

Bash is all you need! Which is why I'm introducing my holiday project: just-bash just-bash is a pretty complete implementation of bash in TypeScript designed to be used as a bash tool by AI agents. Because it turns out agents love exploring data via shell scripts, even beyond c…↗

If you want to maintain a CLAUDE.⁠md and AGENTS.⁠md in the same project, just (ask your agent to) write a bash script to find them all and add a symlink easy peasy↗

just-bash is a Bash-focused tool for agents, providing an interface to run and manage Bash commands in an agentic workflow.↗
