I am interested in flash, I think that would be my default model

I was expecting it more like a filled hypercube but its more like two surfaces? Probably better the way it is.

Yeah, but actually the agent recreates the folder structure, so work trees/task1 subfolder contains a sparse subset of work trees for task1 if it crosses repos. Yeah I have a skill for creating the isolated worktrees. The agents manage all this complexity and the complexity is isolated to the meta repository, it does not spill into the real code repos

I use a top level meta-repository to create a virtual monorepo of all my repositories and vendor their upstreams, then use worktrees off off the submodules to prepare patches. I never need to change directory from the root meta-repository even with multiple agents. Gives you a full monorepo experience without actually having to own any of the parts, every agent has its own isolated worktree so does not conflict.

Oh thats great and makes so much sense and you can see how it could be extended, brilliant abstraction

HTML is human readable as a text file. It does lack abstraction though. I don't actually like markdown much but it is quicker for prose and when I want my images styled a certain way I drop to HTML

Ruby is extensible as well, these things flourish because their creators thought hard about escape hatches. The things that are not extensible we don't talk about because they already died.

Of course it's extensible, you can put HTML in it, and HTML is extensible.

I tried it and it does not compress messages which was 90% of my context, so it only compresses a small part of my token usage. If you read it carefully you will realize that is exactly stated. If you look at /context you will probably see that tool calls are not where you are spending token on, so a proxy that compresses tool calls will not make much impact, whilst still being true that it compresses tool calls by 8x. Its just not that important for long coding sessions for me.

I think it's enough to use Open Router to encourage competition in the market place.
