    I thought this looked interesting:

    "Most "LLM in Emacs" packages make Emacs a mouth that talks to a model: you type, it replies into a buffer. El Yayster inverts that. It makes Emacs a body the model inhabits — the agent perceives your live environment, and acts on it through gated Emacs Lisp."

      Your three examples in the README.md file help. If you have the time, please add more examples and more example use cases. Sorry to sound lazy, I started reading the code in yayster.el, then stopped, wanting more docs. I wrote an Emacs based coding harness earlier this year, so your ‘opposite direction’ idea is interesting.

        I am not the author, sorry!

      Just so you know, your comment was automatically killed for the em dash. HN does this now. I vouched for it.

        Yikes, thanks for letting me know. That seems like a clbuttic case of buttumptions - Of course the text is indeed AI-generated, but it's being quoted! We shall all have to get used to AI-assisted summaries of software, I'm afraid...

        Anyway, I'm trying this package out now. So far it works as advertised - a natural language interface to Emacs. Pretty cool...

        Who the fuck's brilliant idea was that? I swear to god our collective IQ is in the toilet.
