Turns out being the chatbot is a lot more exhausting than being the user. I definitely have a lot more sympathy for every "Could you clarify?" response now.

Nice project.

Interactive visualizations usually make these kinds of concepts much easier to grasp than static diagrams.

I'm curious whether you've tried this with students or engineers who are completely new to power systems, and what kind of feedback you've received.

Interesting approach.

I’m especially curious about the “self-learning loop” — in practice, does it actually improve outcomes over time, or does it tend to reinforce suboptimal patterns?

And How much autonomy do the agents actually have in practice?

I’ve found that fully autonomous loops tend to need a lot of guardrails to stay useful.

Nice idea. Using git worktrees for parallel agents is interesting, but I’ve found that coordination and debugging become the hard part pretty quickly. Curious how you’re handling visibility into what each agent is doing and why something went wrong.
Scanning deep git history sounds useful. Have you run into performance issues on larger repos? That’s usually where these tools start to struggle.

Really like the concept. Could be interesting to map different branches or authors to instruments — might make the structure of the history more audible.
This looks very relevant for onboarding. Have you tried this with new engineers on a real project? I’d be curious whether it actually changes how quickly people build a mental model of the system.

Interesting project. It’s nice to see more “claw-like” projects emerging.
Really nice retro vibe. Feels clean and focused.
