If you like the man page aesthetic, using pandoc with groff is the most readable way to read markdown on the terminal I've found:
mdless() {
if command -v pandoc >/dev/null; then
if [[ -z "$1" ]]; then
cat | pandoc -s -f markdown -t man | groff -T utf8 -man | less
else
pandoc -s -f markdown -t man "$*" | groff -T utf8 -man | less
fi
else
less "$@"
fi
}
For a similar but lighter weight (and less isolated) tool that uses the OS's sandboxing functionality (bubblewrap on linux, Seatbelt/sandbox-exec on macos) or docker check out cco [1] (note: I built it). It's primarily useful now because it can also sandbox other agents like opencode or codex since Anthropic has added native sandboxing functionality to Claude Code itself now. Their sandbox works similarly, also using bubblewrap and seatbelt, and can be accessed via the /sandbox slash command inside Claude Code [2].
You might like linear-beads[1] better. It's a simpler and less invasive version of beads I made to solve some of the unusual design choices. It can also (optionally) use linear as the storage backend for the agent's tasks, which has the excellent side effect that you as a human can actually see what the agent is working on and direct the agent from within linear.
Despite it's quirks I think beads is going to go down as one of the first pieces of software that got some adoption where the end user is an agent
Linear is great, it's what JIRA should've been. Basically task management for people who don't want to deal with task management. It's also full featured, fast (they were famously one of the earlier apps to use a local-first sync-engine style architecture), and keyboard-centric.
Definitely suitable for hobby projects, but can also scale to large teams and massive codebases.
I made a similar thing not long ago that lets you choose between docker, seatbelt (macOS's native sandboxing) and bubblewrap (on Linux).
I use it on macOS primarily, and have basically stopped using docker mode in favor of the native sandboxing because features like image pasting Just Work™.
This is the way Claude Code should Just Work™. Thanks for making and sharing. Hopefully someone from Anthropic sees this and incorporates it (and gives you credit and/or a job!)
This piqued my interest so I made an ollama modelfile of it for the smallest variant (from TheBloke's GGUF [1] version). It does indeed seem impressively gpt4-ish for such a small model! Feels more coherent than openhermes2.5-mistral which was my previous goto local llm.
If you have ollama installed you can try it out with `ollama run nollama/una-cybertron-7b-v2`.
Same, I enjoyed atuin but found myself missing fzf's fuzzy search experience so I ported fzf's own ctrl-r zsh widget to read from atuin instead of the shell's history to solve this. Best of both worlds imo, you get fzf's fuzzy search experience and speed with atuin's shell history management and syncing functionality.
Zsh snippet below in case it's helpful to anybody. With this in your .zshrc ctrl-r will search your shell history with fzf+atuin and ctrl-e will bring up atuin's own fuzzy finder in case you still want it.
It only searches the last 5000 entries of your atuin history for speed, but you can tweak ATUIN_LIMIT to your desired value if that's not optimal.
