Can I easily run whois, curl, dig, grep, python, browser/playwright? Yes.
Was watching an agent with terminal access install its tools, configure them, then map my lab, find services, and guess stack just pure magic? Also yes.
Did it cost me $23 in tokens to set it up, test, and run? Probably. Using gemini 3.1 pro was not the spendthrift choice here.
Is putting some cost controls in place a good idea? Also, probably yes.
Can I therefore understand someone who wants to see things happen on their own with a beautiful prompt instead of doing them personally even when fully capable, maybe even more efficient? Of course.
A beautiful prompt feels like something of a misnomer.
You are just projecting yourself. You are most probably already using agents "the right way" and just wanted to understand how this new agent technology actually works and its strengths and weaknesses.
But JertLinc clearly wasn't interested in that. They are clearly more the "get rich quick" type of personality.
"Beautiful prompt"?
Can't tell if this is parody. Either that, or it's someone without any self-awareness.
Sometimes it's kind of cool to just ask a well phrased question and watch it spit back out a result that would've taken you hours, like cross referencing industrial widgets that have their critical information available but spread out all over.
That said, I don't usually ask it tightly bounded clerical questions and not thing that imply sub-tasks like "scan the dark web".
