What Hacker News says
6 sourcesI recommend reading Shopify CEO Tobi's try[0] for good example of how Ruby's block behavior and meta-programming makes it easy to create a single file, shell wrapper.

In Ruby BlocksRelease a CLI for my open source project: https://github.com/aperoc/toolkami
It is a modified version of Shopify's CEO Tobi try implementation[0]. It extends his implementation with sandboxing capabilities and designed with functional core, imperative shell in mind.
I had success using it to manage multiple coding agents at once.

In Ask HN: What are you working on? (October 2025)Hi HN,
I hope someone will find this useful.
On a side note: if you're already using Try and would like to see this incorporated, I've opened an issue here: https://github.com/tobi/try/issues/40. Give a like or comment to make this more possible!
Am keen to hear TUI tips for coding agents parallelization as feedback for improvements. How are you guys doing it?

ToolKami CLI is a modified version of Shopify's CEO Tobias try implementation[0]. It extends the implementation with sandboxing capabilities and designed with functional core, imperative shell in mind.
I had success using it to manage parallel coding agents with a minimal TUI interface.
It is free and open source, have fun playing around with it, roll your own or contribute!

2 points · Open discussionFor people interested in rolling their own with TUI interface, I've an open sourced, single file implementation here[0].
It is based off Shopify CEO Tobi's `try` implementation[1].
