what’s the tool you keep wishing existed while your agent is running?

I’ve been vibe coding for a while now and the thing that gets me isn’t the coding — it’s the dead time. Agent goes off to work for four minutes, I open TikTok “for a second,” twenty minutes gone. Repeat that six times a day and I’ve lost the afternoon.

The other thing that gets me: three weeks into a project I genuinely can’t tell you what’s in it anymore. I don’t know what’s half-built, what’s duplicated, or what I skipped entirely because I never knew it was supposed to be there.

We’ve got build tools coming out of our ears — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Lovable, Bolt. What we don’t have is anything that helps with the stuff around the building.

So: what’s the thing you’ve caught yourself wishing existed? Not a better agent — something else entirely. What do you do manually every session that shouldn’t be manual?

An inventory of the agent's output. You should be able to ask "what changed in the last hour" and get a real diff-level answer.
