A rainy Sunday trying Codex made me rethink my terminal-first agent workflow, and made me see a big opportunity for tighter integration with tools like mise and Pitchfork.

Agents
We have the data from builds and test runs. We have the agent primitives in Elixir. Now we are connecting them into something that can actively improve your developer workflows, not just report on them.
Cloud development environments keep getting rebranded, but they keep running into the same fundamental problem: your workflow is not portable. Agents might be changing the question entirely.
Coding agents are making developers and organizations less tolerant of slow toolchains. That shift in tolerance is opening a door that was surprisingly hard to open before.
I built Helmsman, an Elixir framework for building LLM-based agents, inspired by Pi's SDK mode and aligned with Elixir patterns and conventions.
Coding agents decoupled development from the editor. What follows is a new kind of platform where steering, reviewing, and collaborating on code looks nothing like what we are used to.
Git and Git forges were designed for a world where humans write code in isolation. As agents become central to how we build software, I believe we need to rethink everything from branches to CI to how open source contributions work.
I built Schlussel because agents deserve a simple way to authenticate with APIs. No more wasting tokens navigating documentation or guessing OAuth flows.
