IMPORTANT: Do NOT write multi-line Python as inline python3 -c — the terminal garbles it. Always write to a file first, then run.

Step 1: Quick triage with jq

Run these in order. Set CONVO first:

CONVO=~/.openhands/conversations/CONVERSATION_ID

Planguage prompts

Planguage (Planning Language), developed by Tom Gilb, is a structured, keyword-driven notation designed to define project requirements, quality attributes, and goals precisely. It eliminates ambiguity in nonfunctional requirements by defining metrics, stakeholders, and targets for, example:

Tag: Unique ID (e.g., Performance).
Meter: How to measure (e.g., "Time for report").
Target: The desired level. 

It is a key part of Competitive Engineering and Evo (Evolutionary) project management.

How To Build a Coding Agent

Over the past year coding agents have seen massive adoption and become flagship offerings from AI leaders like Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google. Watching these agents work can feel like magic. To fully explore their potential we need to demystify them. If you're considering contributing to an Open Source agent or even creating one of your own, this should get you off to the races!

The most common style of coding agent today is a chat loop between a user and an LLM that can perform useful software development tasks. To achieve that, there are just 3 tricks to understand beyond the LLM itself.

• How do we create an LLM chat loop?
• How can a chat loop use tools?
• What tools do we need?

This is an example of hybrid use of mechanized proofs with prose in a way that favors human readers.

It's a formalization and response to the central argument in The Futurlang vs. Natural Language Debate: Should Emotion Be Eradicated From Speech?. The argument was modeled using First-Order Logic in the Z3 prover.
