I've been trying to move from imperative prompting to declarative prompting. • Imperative prompting: I tell the agent how to do something. • Declarative prompting: I describe my goal to the agent. This was impossible before, but since Opus 4.5, I'm letting models fill in the blanks more and more. I recorded a video using Quest + Opus 4.5. This is a coding agent designed specifically for this purpose.

This is how Quest works: 1. You describe what you want to build 2. Quest figures out an execution plan 3. It uses specialized agents to solve tasks in parallel 4. It keeps you updated in real time as it makes progress My favorite feature is having the ability to decide where to run the agents: • Locally: Agents run in parallel on my computer over my codebase. • Worktree: Agents run on my computer over a copy of my codebase. • Remote: Agents run remotely. Perfect for long-running tasks.
