Claudemacs looks really good -- thanks for the pointer!
My main design goal was to have the whole chat described by a text buffer, that can be converted back and forth to the Claude dialog format. I love Emacs' built-in `shell-mode` because I can jump around in the shell buffer, kill and yank, etc. I wanted that same interaction model in the agent interface. I ended up writing a tree-sitter grammar and maybe going a bit over the top...
Also, I wanted something very hackable, where the entire codebase is in elisp. Claudemacs has the benefit of building on Claude Code, so it gets all the Claude Code features for free, whereas I have to implement everything from scratch. But I think of Greger as an experiment surface for novel agent patterns.
I don't think anyone has really figured out how to get the most of out agents yet, so it's great that we're all attacking it from different angles and taking inspiration from each other.
