Nitpicks about CLI coding agents:
Many times, while they are doing something, I’ll be typing a prompt, and then all of a sudden I get a question with Y/N options, and by accident, I’ll type Y/N as part of a word thus “answering the question”, many times either steering in the wrong direction or stopping the agent
Neither Claude code nor Codex solve this. The only way I’ve found to prevent it is to type somewhere else and then paste, but it’s super annoying
Edit: ^^ the above is especially annoying now that Codex popups the prompts/questions within other agents' sessions
Also, when I want two agents in different sessions to talk to each other, it’s kinda janky, I have to talk to both and act as a messenger for a couple of turns before they properly coordinate. I wish I could just sort of click somewhere, and link unlink two or more sessions
Does Próspero solve the things above?
Any pans for “swarm”/group control of agents?
I think agy has a “questions pending “ pattern for waiting questions rather than popups. I don’t like it but sounds like they were solving your issue
You can deny Claude access to its own built-in tools, including the question asking tool. Could solve your problem?
that's one of the reasons I use bare ones pi agent plus a handful of self made extensions.
There's no question popup, when the LLM wants to ask me something it just asks and waits for my answer as the next prompt.

I can heartily recommend switching to private local speech to text voice input with Handy. https://handy.computer/about
Is this the open source whisperflow clone? I think I saw a positive review about it yesterday on social media
Sounds even worse (and I'm generally not a fan of speech to text interfaces, as typing is a lot quicker and easier on the brain); imagine a co-worker or your wife steps in and asks a question, your "Yes" turns into an answer to your coding agent.
That’d be pretty funny actually
But I don’t think you have it always listening, you probably tab the space bar to talk and send a prompt, walkie-talkie style, push to talk
typing is a lot quicker and easier on the brain
It depends what kind of work you are doing. It's certainly not quicker for general discourse, even if you are a fast typer.
