shad
A terminal agent that stays interruptible.
Describe a task. shad opens a live shell, makes a plan, runs commands, answers prompts, and accepts corrections while it works.
The current question: can an agent move quickly without taking control away from the person at the keyboard?
See the experiment- 01Describe the task
Give shad an outcome in plain language.
- 02Review the plan
See the route before commands run.

Correct the task without discarding the session.
- 04Stop when needed
Return control to the person at the keyboard.
Documented behavior. Private alpha.
