Three full-screen [kitty](https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/) overlays, one hotkey each: review everything the agent just changed in an IDE-grade diff, search any text across the project like an IDE's Find in Files, and send line comments straight back into the chat; see all your sessions live — which agent is busy, which is waiting for your permission — and resume, fork or spin up a worktree in a keystroke; walk the git history the same way. Pure Python standard library plus vendored Pygments for syntax highlighting — nothing to install. macOS only.

Each kitten is a full-screen overlay opened by a hotkey:
