Description
Was so sick of reading walls of codex/claude prose, in markdown plans and just in the chat, that I started playing with ideas that force coding agents to display information differently.The human visual cortex is an amazing thing, and getting coding agents to let me use it has been pretty nice so far.Been iterating on this a lot internally for the last few months, polishing and mostly removing stuff.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a agent / copilot tool for Agriculture yet.
