    1. I built a little eBPF tool to see what my coding agents actually do on my machine
    2. Is there a computer-use skill/tool that lets my harness (pi/agy-cli) open and interact with real apps on my laptop, not just the browser?
    3. Give an api what you give Jev and get back a better, faster model under 1 MB in minutes. Runs offline. No data needed. Would you use it?
