- Yes I reviewed them all with my own eye balls
- But my clankers cleaned up all the slop first so they were in a better state before I looked at them (stats below)
- Most of them were only a couple line fixes so generally took less than a minute to understand the change
Huuuge thanks to @kitlangton and @anomalyco for unleashing Astra on Effect. 🫡

I made a small spotlight-like app for quickly sending tasks to my clankers. Super useful for capturing quick thoughts when in the middle of something else!
It does a bit of investigation first then assigns it the best agent for the job using @MulticaAI

Been having fun coding with the boys. Each agent uses a particular model, system prompt and skills to excel at its job.
Using a mix of Fable, 5.6 sol and Kimi K3.
