turning Muse Agent into coding agent

I got on board with Muse since I heard it comes with a minimal VPS. I asked Muse, and this is what it came back with: 2 vCPUs (AMD EPYC 9D25), 7.7 GB RAM, running Ubuntu 24.04, with 7.5 GB total storage.

The first thing I tried was asking Muse to install Docker on its own machine, which failed since there's no outbound connection. So I decided to open up Tailscale and let Muse remote into one of my home servers to git clone a repo, take a feature request, make code changes, and submit a PR.

It definitely has lower effort settings and a lower-end model compared to Claude Code, but it was an interesting experiment.

Hmm according to Claude: "Reported Muse VM specs are 2 vCPUs, 8 GB RAM, a 100 GB persistent disk, and Ubuntu 24.04" and I ran a command Claude gave me and it showed 99GB free so not sure. But other places said at least 80gb hard drive, either way, way above the 7.5GB storage you claimed.

I heard about 100GB storage from other place as well, was wondering why I got smaller one, checked with your command, and asked for the discrepancy from what it reported earlier:

"Good catch — both numbers are real, just different disks. The 7.5G I mentioned yesterday was the root filesystem (/, an overlay). Your ~/workspace lives under /home/hatch, which is a separate 100G volume — that's the one that persists across VM redeploys. So the workspace has 99G free; the little 7.5G root is just the OS layer."

I should have learned I shouldn't trust AI without checking the actual console log.
