What It Does
Thinking Opportunity Cost packages a focused coding & development workflow for an AI agent. Before committing scarce time, people, or money, name the best forgone use of those resources and the value delta of the chosen path versus that alternative. It is best suited to users who can review the resulting actions and provide only the accounts, files, or command access needed for the task. It is not a substitute for human approval on destructive, financial, security-sensitive, or public-facing actions.
Popular Use Cases
- Review and improve a code change
- Automate a repeatable development task
- Investigate failures and prepare a fix
