Interesting post from the main contributor about this (at least I assume it’s what he’s referencing) https://justin.poehnelt.com/posts/rewrite-your-cli-for-ai-ag...

Thanks! Looks like he submitted it here, judging by the username:

You need to rewrite your CLI for AI agents - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47252459.

I think that's pretty cool so I put the post in the SCP (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26998308).

This is really interesting: "Humans hate writing nested JSON in the terminal. Agents prefer it." Are others seeing the same thing? I've just moved away from json-default because agents were always using jq to convert it to what I could have been producing anyway.

Really interesting. I was thinking about something similar regarding the shape of code. I have no qualms recommending my agents take static analysis to the extreme, though it would cumbersome for most people.

No, we won’t be in fact doing that. Machine parsable, readable for other tools - yes.
