• Actions Taken:
    • We started by setting up the development environment and and giving the morpheus CLI its current context.

Tools Used

  • tmux: For managing multiple terminals.
  • Gemini CLI: Our main AI agent for content creation.
  • glow: For previewing markdown before pushing.
  • google_web_search: For research and finding license text.
  • web_fetch: For getting web content.
  • write_file: For creating and updating files.

Frustrations

  • Agent getting distracted by LICENSE file: The agent paused unnecessarily each time it encountered the LICENSE file. This is a distraction and should be avoided. Future agents should be instructed to ignore the LICENSE file unless specifically asked to interact with it.
  • gh CLI Limitations: No direct gh command to add licenses, forcing manual steps.
  • web_fetch Behavior: Initially returned summaries instead of raw text, requiring more specific requests.
  • CLI Instability (Git): The Gemini CLI hung during a git rebase attempt.
  • Inconsistent CLI Behavior: The license addition process wasn’t as smooth this time, leading to manual intervention.

Experience Building Morpheum with Morpheum

It’s been a mixed bag. The CLI’s ability to interact with the file system and web is powerful. But issues like hallucinated content, CLI hangs, and inconsistent behavior show that morpheum still needs human oversight. While functional, the process can be indirect and sometimes unreliable, sometimes requiring manual workarounds (like adding the license via GitHub UI). All commits to the repository will now be reflected with at least one comment in this worklog to reflect the work done and any challenges encountered.
