Why not have the model ask in the chat? It's a lot easier to just talk to it than open a file. The article mentions cursor so it sounds like you're already using cursor?
would probably work better, this is just how i threw it together as an internal tool a long time ago. i just improved it and shipped it to opensource it.
> an mcp server that lets the agent raise its hand instead of hallucinating
a) It doesn't know when it's hallucinating.
b) It can't provide you with any accurate confidence score for any answer.
c) Your library is still useful but any claim that you can make solutions more robust is a lie. Probably good enough to get into YC / raise VC though.
reasoning models know when they are close to hallucinating because they are lacking context or understanding and know that they could solve this with a question.
this is a streamlined implementation of a interanlly scrapped together tool that i decided to open-source for people to either us or build off of.
But then that means they are editing a markdown file on your computer? How is that meant to work?
I like the idea but would rather it use Slack or something if it's meant to ask anyone.
this is mainly meant as a way to conversate with the model while you are programming with it. This is not meant to pull questions to a team but more to pair program. a markdown file is best for syntax in an llm prompt and also just easiest to have open and answer questions with. If i had more time and could i would build an extension into cursor.
Cool conceptually, but how exactly does the agent know when it's unsure or stuck?
the reasoning aspect of most llms these days knows when its unsure or stuck, you can get that from its thinking tokens. It will see this mcp and call it when its in that state. Though this could benefit from some rules file to use it, although cursor doesn't quite follow ask for help rules, hence making this.
The point is that these are not tools, they provide a direct kick, which is a goal in itself. Whisky is not a tool.
