What they did
A developer wrote up how he gets approvals, pings and live progress from his coding agent on his phone with Notify by belweave, so the agent does not sit 19 minutes waiting for him to type "y".
Result (as claimed)
A written setup guide; 16 likes and about 1,200 views.
Tools they used
Cost: Pricing depends on the tools you pick; check each official pricing page.
Set it up
Pick a contained repo or task
Start on a branch or side project where mistakes are cheap.
Install and configure
Set up Notify. Read what it can run on your machine and limit permissions where possible.
Run it on a real task
Give it a well-scoped issue and let it work. Review the diff like any pull request.
Add guardrails
Keep tests and CI in the loop, and never let an agent push to main or touch production secrets unattended.
Copy the full setup prompt
Paste into your agent and it will walk you through the setup, asking before anything that sends, posts or spends.

Related use cases
Hand a coding agent a spec and come back to tested, committed work
Tired of an agent asking him to approve every section of a design and reviewing one task at a time, a developer made Superlite, a lighter alternative to the Superpowers workflow. You hand over a spec once and several agents build the independent pieces in parallel, test them and commit, without stopping every few minutes for a yes.
Let your next coding agent search what the last one already tried
Switching from Claude Code to Codex or Cursor meant explaining the same work again, so a developer built Agent Recall: a local, redacted index of past agent transcripts that the next agent can search.
Let your coding agent sessions message each other without you relaying
A developer open-sourced agentsocks so his coding agents can talk to each other. A Claude Code or Codex session can message another session, ask it a question or hand it a tracked task, and the answer comes back into the session that asked.
Give each parallel coding agent its own isolated workspace so they stop clashing
While having agents translate C kernel prototypes into Rust and run tests in parallel, a developer kept hitting file locks and agents clashing in one directory. He built Shadow to give each agent an isolated workspace for editing and building.
