Fellow kakoune user here. I'm curious about your use case/ what you're doing with it!

I'm just messing around with building agents, that's all. I'm not super interested in making ones that just sit in a terminal executing shell scripts because truth be told they're absolutely trivial to make and don't show any interesting parts of LLMs, whereas telling an agent that they are sitting in Kakoune is a whole lot more interesting and really shows a lot of what LLMs aren't great at, and how they'll have to fight their urge to spit out overwrought bash invocations or at the very least find a way to fit those into something new.

So far the only tools the agent has access to are `evaluate_commands(commands=["...", "..."])` and `get_buffer_contents()`, which really makes them have to work for doing things. I could make it super easy for them but then it wouldn't be an interesting experiment.
