I stopped waiting at the desk

I drafted this issue standing in a grocery store, ordering shrimp. Voice into a pair of glasses, out to the Mac mini in my closet, and a preview was waiting when I got home.

What changed in my setup

Even Realities G2. I had no interest in AR headsets, which all felt like strapping hardware to your face. These are glasses first. Small clean display, voice in, a terminal mode with a prebuilt hookup, and an app SDK straightforward enough that I built my own client pointed at my own machine. I've run both. From the outside they look ordinary. Mine have no prescription, though they sell that option.

What I care about is what happens after I talk. One spoken sentence hits /ship and the chain runs without me: templates, structure, humanizer pass, quality review.

What broke

The failure was me, sitting at a desk.

I'd kick off four agents and then wait, because the next input was mine to give and giving it meant being in the chair. The machines were working and I was the thing holding them up. I lost a lot of hours to being available.

That's a workflow bug, not a hardware one, and going off-desk is just what made it visible. The glasses didn't solve it. I did, by counting how many round trips a session actually needed and then removing them: real entry points instead of step-by-step nudging, and replies short enough to read on four lines while somebody weighs out shrimp.

If your agent asks you three questions before it starts, you're not going anywhere.

One thing you can paste

Add this to your CLAUDE.md. It's the difference between a session you can walk away from and one you can't.

## Heads-up sessions

Assume this reply gets read on four lines of a display, in a grocery store.

- Lead with what you did or decided. No preamble, no restating my request.
- Keep it under four lines unless I ask for the long version.
- Don't print code blocks, diffs, or file listings. Name the file instead.
- Ask at most one question, and only when proceeding would be destructive or
  unsafe. Otherwise take the obvious option, state the assumption in a clause,
  and keep going.
- If the work will take a while, say so and start it. Don't wait for a go.

That last rule bought back more time than the glasses did.

Reply and tell me what still pins you to your chair. I'm collecting them.
