Interesting. I have been doing a simple man's version of multiple git clone folders and 'docker compose -p'. Making that smoother is attractive, esp if can be made opaque for our more junior teammates.

On one end, I have been curious about getting multiple agents to work on the same branch, but realized I can just wait till they do that natively.

More so, all this feels like a dead end. I think OpenAI and github are right to push to remote development, so these don't matter. Eg, mark up a PR or branch in GitHub, and come back as necessary, and do it all from my phone. If I want an IDE, it can be remote ssh.

Very cool that this runs as a MCP server, very cool demo

    Seems odd that the LLM is so clever it can write programs to drive any API. But so dumb that it needs a new special purpose protocol proxy to access anything behind such an API...

    • sharifhsn 17 hours ago

      It’s about resilience. LLMs are prone to hallucinations. Although they can be very intelligent, they don’t have 100% correct output unaided. The protocol helps increase the resilience of the output so that there’s more of a guarantee that the LLM will stay within the lines you’ve drawn around it.

        That's really not true. Context is one strategy to keep a models output constrained, and tool calling allows dynamic updates to context. Mcp is a convenience layer around tool calls and the systems they integrate with

      It is not, name one software that has a LLM generating code on the fly to call APIs. Why do people have this delusion?

I'm curious: what do containers add over and above whatever you'd get using worktrees on their own?

  • shykes 20 hours ago

    They're complementary. git worktrees isolate file edits; containers isolate execution: building, testing, running dev instances..

    container-use combines both forms of isolation: containers and git worktrees in a seamless system that agents can use to get work done.

    I would guess isolation/safety.

    Freezing for me on Safari desktop. I think the culprit is the SVG based demo in the README.md

      Sorry about that! We'll fix it.
