Have you tried running gdb from a Claude Code or Codex CLI session?

No, I'm in academia and the goal is not code or product launch. I find research process to struggle a lot once someone solves a problem instead of you.

I understand that AI can help with writing, coding, analyzing code bases and summarizing other papers, but going through these myself makes a difference, at least for me. I tried ChatGPT 3.5 when I started and while I got a pile of work done, I had to throw it away at some point because I didn't fully understand it. AI could explain to me various parts, but it's different when you create it.

For interactive programs like this, I use tmux and mention "send-keys" and "capture-pane" and it's able to use it to drive an interactive program. My demo/poc for this is making the agent play 20 questions with another agent via tmux
