Isn't that what codemode is for?

mcp with 2 tools: execute(code) and search(query)

all other tools, mcps, apis, whatever are encapsulated by the one interface. new tools don't bloat the agent's context, and it can write its own code to perform more advanced and batch operations against the available tools (executed within a sandbox).

executor is a great implementation of this - https://executor.sh

opencode v2 also provides its own native implementation

I settled on lat.md [1] at the beginning of this year and never looked back.

Its design offers a compellingly simple surface for weaving natural-language intent into the codebase itself, without overcomplicating things:

---

Key Ideas

* Plain markdown: readable by humans, parseable by agents

* Wiki links connect concepts into a navigable graph

* // @lat: and # @lat: comments tie source code to specs

* lat check ensures nothing drifts out of sync

* lat search for semantic vector search across all sections

---

For me it strikes the right balance between structure and flexibility. It gives agents enough context-efficient grounding to reduce functional and architectural drift [2], while remaining malleable enough to evolve with new requirements.

Admittedly I haven't run any evals, and I'm sure there are even better systems out there... but if I still had the problem I was trying to solve when I found it, I wouldn't be talking about it right now.

Of course it's likely that my problem has only migrated to a higher order of complexity, but surfacing it again through building increasingly complex things is an interesting enough challenge in itself.

[2] 100% auto-eliminating drift is an unrealistic goal -- that's where you come in.

By some stroke of luck, the NZ government recently put into place a robust privacy-preserving framework for digital identity [1].

They just launched the GOVT.NZ [2] app, and it contains a wallet that can store digital credentials. It's built by a local company called MATTR [3], who specialise in trust technology and exotic cryptography like zero-knowledge proofs. The first credential available this year will be a mobile drivers license, and we'll then be able to prove things about ourselves like whether or not we're over 18 (according to an accredited institution), completely privately over the internet and without sharing any other information.

I'm cautiously optimistic about the direction our digital ecosystem is heading in NZ :')
