Are "agents" really as useful as the hype makes them out to be?

Most of the time I'm just pasting code blocks directly into raycast and once I've fixed the bug or got the properly transformed code in the shape that I aimed for, then I paste it back into neovim. Next i'm going to try out "opencode"[0], because I've heard some good things about it. For now, I'm happy with my current workflow.

Yes, agents are really as useful as the hype makes them out to be. Certainly they’re more useful on bigger code bases but even small ones the agent provides more value than you may expect. I have a small side project probably around 10k loc and the ai agents still plow through tokens. End of the day letting the ai read your entire code base really does let it make more intelligent design decisions. Many other benefits as well. Iteration is much faster without copy paste

to be clear that repo is simply a thin neovim plugin for the truly excellent agent TUI opencode

I recommend using it directly instead of via the plugin
