Every GitHub repository comes with a built-in wiki. It is a separate Git repository that stores markdown files, supports [[wikilinks]] between pages, and can be organised into subdirectories. AS Notes is compatible with Github Wiki structur

I fully agree with the sentiment of the article. I will say that I feel I've had some success in having an LLM outline a document, provided that I then go through and read / edit thoroughly. I think there's even an argument t

I have wondered if we're going to end up investing so much in putting up guard rails around AI that we end up with systems of the same complexity as a non AI expert system that runs slower and at higher costs due just having injected m

I think we need to just think of agents as people. The same principles around how we authenticate, authorize and revoke permissions to people should apply to agents. We don't leave the server room door open for users to type commands i

You Need Deterministic Gates for Probabilistic AI Agents(appsoftware.com)

If we want guarantees, (and we do when it comes to security and correct processing of data), we need deterministic gates. The most robust, best specified means of achieving this is MCP, and currently, the best way to manage this in teams is

A lot of the best tooling around AI we're seeing is adding deterministic gates that the probabilistic AI agents work with. This is why I'm using MCP over http. I'm happy for the the agent to use it's intelligence and cre

Bit of a plug I suppose, but this was what motivated me to set up AS Notes, my VS code extension which makes VS Code a personal knowledge management system, with linking and markdown tooling. I've built an html converter so they can be

I didn't get that feeling. But it is long, which is a bit of an AI smell. That said, I think use of AI in writing might not always be a negative. On a couple of documentation pieces I have used AI to provide better structure to writing

I'm a muggle when it comes to vim, but I've considered learning it again recently because of AI. I'm building more than I have in years because I love being able to try things out without investing 3 months to get something w

I saw that the Hetzner matrix like has GPU servers < £300 per month (plus set up fee). I haven't tried it but I think if I was getting up to that sort of spend I'd be setting up Ollama on one of those with a larger Qwen3 max mo

For anyone still watching this thread, I have reworked the UI to move the task board to the editor pane from the side bar, and have worked to improve the agents tracking of the core instruction set and current task reference in a way that a

Yes - and keeps the user in the IDE. There's lots of products with their own harness. I know harnesses are not that complex to build - but VS Copilot has really nice integrations with the editor. Either one of these companies has to bu

That does look great. I will check that out. What is the storage for the tasks? I didn't love the Git worktree flow when I tried vibe kanban, spawning lots of folders seemed like it could get problematic on large codebases - unless I&#

I'd been using this workflow for a while, but this post I found on HN a couple of weeks ago really solidified it: https://boristane.com/blog/how-i-use-claude-code/ > The workflow I’m going to describe has

Structure certainly helps, and that's what the markdown format here does. How do you measure the effect of the structure?

Having used a less formalised version of the process (manually managing the agent files but having the user / agent conversation structure the same), I've been getting some really good results out of the agent on some long running

Agreed. Also multiple humans. One task per person works great (no Git conflicts). I'll think about this more. I'm thinking that having the agent work through an MCP server might be a means of mitigating the issue. I'd rather

I would say that a kanban board is not synonymous with scrum. In this workflow, the tasks are a way of organising task threads and recording the consideration, decisions and actions taken while working with an AI agent.

by gbro3n 7mo ago
That's a nice UI on that board. It's advertising the ability to allow the agent to help manage tasks, where this approach uses the tasks to drive the agent.
