> people end up duct-taping row-level access into the prompt

What exactly do you mean with this? The times I've collaborated on projects where most of us are using agents, we basically placed shared files in shared repositories, just like you usually do, so any shared instructions would go there. Then you work on your thing, then eventually submit a PR, and so on. Where does the "duct-taping row-level access" come into play, and how does it relate to the prompts themselves?

Interesting approach to write something specifically for macOS and specifically for a Mac Mini :) I'm assuming this actually runs on whatever that can run JavaScript, right? :)

For a dev team using agents as coding tools + coordinating via git, that workflow makes sense.

I built cast for other (non-coding) scenarios. A shared agent that multiple people interact with conversationally in real time, with different permission levels.

Think a household assistant on Telegram, or a small team's internal tool where sales and engineering collaborate but shouldn't see each other's data. There's no PR workflow there, just people chatting with a shared service.

On Mac Mini: Runs on anything with Node and a container runtime. Just trying to tap into the zeigeist.
