Excellent, I look forward to trying it out, at minimum to wean off dependency to Claude Code and it's likely current state of overspending on context. I agree with looking at conversations as durable assets.

The thing that is killing me when I hear about Claude Code and other agent tools is the amount of energy they must be using. People say they let the task run for an hour and I can't help but to think how much energy is being used and if Claude Code is being upfront with how much things will actually cost in the future.
