  • The author developed a simple workflow for making coding agents interact without APIs, SDKs, or extra dependencies.
  • The workflow uses CLI commands to resume previous sessions, enabling agents to iterate on tasks like drafting or reviewing.
  • Two patterns are described: a non-interactive one for simplicity and a tmux-based one for better visibility and control.
  • This approach allows leveraging different AI models for varied perspectives, useful for tasks like code review and iteration.
  • The author notes limitations, including visibility issues and the risk of producing polished hallucinations without clear benefits.
  • The method is recommended for fast experimentation with existing subscription-based agents, avoiding extra costs.
