Creating Wallet cards always struck me as unnecessarily cumbersome, even for devs, let alone end-users. They are are often forced to open iOS apps to merely display a QR code.

A friend and I created a fun little project to enable us (and anyone) to create cards from the web https://kitty.cards

Support vendor agnostic tools offering agent integrations through the likes of Agent Client Protocol https://agentclientprotocol.com

ps. I built Emacs integration through ACP https://github.com/xenodium/agent-shell

Wonderful to hear. Thank you sir!

I recently read someone [1] make the case for a sweet spot blending the best of CLI agents (fast, keyboard-driven, in a terminal) and desktop agents (rich UI: inline images, diffs).

This resonated with me as fairly on point to what agent-shell has been going for, except from inside Emacs, which arguably gets you plenty of goodies at once: it's fast and text/keyboard-driven like a terminal, also renders inline images, markdown and tables like a desktop app, but with first class integration into your text editor (no context switch). Also, since it's all elisp, you can bend any of it to your own workflow.

This release pulls more of that desktop-like experience with richer TAB navigation, actionable items (resizable images) and a more chat-like experience.

Also worth highlighting, agent-shell is vendor-neutral: it speaks ACP, so you can drive Claude, Codex, Gemini... without relearning your tools.

[1] Sorry, I read this somewhere recently but couldn't find it again.

Tangentially related, I wrote https://github.com/xenodium/dwim-shell-command to save all sorts of command invocations (I'm looking at you ffmpeg) and easily batch apply to dired files. Here's a demo video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77NtPfgr4x0

About that, mine loves Munetaka Murakami's fight song https://www.yakyu-ouen.net/murakami-munetaka, so I had plenty of chances to memorize the words.

This is lovely too :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSBT4ES9b9U&list=RDLSBT4ES9b...

edit: Thanks for Angine de Poitrine!

Thanks! It’s an undecorated frame. I wanted a “widget” experience of sorts.

My newborn is on board! Nursery rhymes on YT ftw ;)

Glad to hear it worked as advertised! Sorry, not super familiar with evil (on vanilla keys here). Please send a PR if you find out how to configure for evil so we can document in README.

While most IDEs converged to a unified web solution, pockets of devoted users continued to volunteer improvements/integrations for their preferred editors.

During my time there, a relatively small, but fairly active Emacs group, would often share tips, tricks, and elisp integrating the latest internal tools.

Neat! I did the Emacs equivalent https://github.com/xenodium/video-trimmer

From my experience, you kinda get what you ask for. If you don't ask for anything specific, it'll write as it sees fit. The more you involve yourself in the loop, the more you can get it to write according to your expectation. Also helps to give it a style guide of sorts that follows your preferred style.

Resume is supported by agent-shell, but is dependent on agent's to implement the relevant ACP. Do you know if OpenCode's ACP implementation has listing and resuming session support?

Also, you'll need to enable resuming as per post (it's a new feature) https://xenodium.com/agent-shell-0-47-1-updates

That's nice to hear. Thank you!

I put off adopting popular agents for most of 2025 primarily because there was no agent-agnostic path to first-class Emacs integration. That changed with ACP (https://agentclientprotocol.com), thus I started working on agent-shell.

I'm happy with how the integration is shaping up, enabling me to have my cake and eat it too (Emacs + AI agents).

I wrote an agent-shell post recently with the latest changes https://xenodium.com/agent-shell-0-47-1-updates

I've yet to play with Emacs MCPs thoroughly. Having said that, after initial exposure to agent skills directing agents to just use CLI/emacsclient, I no longer think I need to go deeper into MCP. emacsclient via CLI has been working remarkably well. Did a little video on that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymMlftdGx4I
