Solid neighbourhood-bakery energy. Trustworthy and warm.
Summary
A developer discovers 457 AI agent-related assets (configs, API keys, model caches, permissions) scattered across their machine after scanning it. The article highlights the problem of managing multiple AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Pi Agent) with no unified view, and introduces a tool built to address discovery and routing issues for AI agent management.
