Description

After adding "Human" as a LLM provider to OpenCode a few months ago as a joke, it turns-out that acting as a LLM is quite painful. But it was surprisingly useful for understanding real agent harnesses dev.So I thought I wouldn't leave anyone out! I made a small oss game - You Are An Agent - youareanagent.app - to share in the (useful?) frustrationIt's a bit ridiculous. To tell you about some entirely necessary features, we've got: - A full WASM arch-linux vm that runs in your browser for the agent coding level - A bad desktop simulation with a beautiful excel simulation for our computer use level - A lovely WebGL CRT simulation (I think the first one that supports proper DOM 2d barrel warp distortion on safari? honestly wanted to leverage/ not write my own but I couldn't find one I was happy with) - A MCP server simulator with full simulation of off-brand Jira/ Confluence/ ... connected - And of course, a full WebGL oscilloscope music simulator for the intro sequenceLet me know what you think!Code (If you'd like to add a level): https://github.com/R0bk/you-are-an-agent(And if you want to waste 20 minutes - I spent way too long writing up my messy thinking about agent harness dev): http://robkopel.me/field-notes/ax-agent-experience/
