See the very last section in this doc for how I minimise token usage and track savings, all three plugins co-exist fine: https://github.com/FrankRay78/NetPace/blob/main/docs/agentic...

This is very nice as well as the reference links. I’ve been having trouble with closing the loop.

Going to feed into my own.

Out of curiosity how have your agents evolved and metric changed.


I haven't tracked it recently, but when I've pulled up the metrics I've generally seen about 25% token saving (sometimes higher circa 40%, depending on type of use). I've bought a max Claude plan recently, as I couldn't make enough savings to stay on the Pro plan. Perhaps most importantly, I've not seen any conflict or degradation after installing the plugins, which I've done on both Windows and Linux. Recommended, so far.

Most of these are outdoor trees, regardless of size. Something more tropical might fare better inside.

Not that different to our two year old tortoise, who still has another 100+ years to go.

Jonathan is quite a lot older than your lower bound: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_(tortoise) and still going!

Rumours of his death are greatly exaggerated.


I’m writing production quality code with agents, it was the development ‘harness’ that took time up get right.

I find something similar happening as I transition to spec driven development - whilst the agents do the work I used to do, I spend a hell of a lot more time thinking about what I want the outcome to be, rather than hacking around the limitations of frameworks I know, avoiding tech I don’t. It’s freeing actually.

I wonder if this is the death of true design.

Include clear payment terms and penalty interest. For me, this looks like 30 payment window, reminders fortnightly there after, and a money claim lodged in the small claims court at 90 days. You’ll almost certainly get your money ahead of court appearance (assuming they haven’t gone bankrupt).


If nothing else, I see that Conductor is currently Mac only.


A perfectly good methodology with the right guardrails in place imho.


Shrewd context management is the go here.
