# Designing Software for AI Agents > Experimental project. This repository is for research, prototyping, and internal exploration. It is not production-ready and should not be used as-is in production environments. For decades, mainstream interactive software has largely assumed that the user is human. That assumption shaped the modern GUI: an interface optimized for visual attention, pointer input, and continuous local feedback. Once the primary actor is an LLM-driven agent rather than a person, the central question is no longer just whether the model can call a tool. It becomes: **what kind of interface lets an agent understand the current world, act on real objects, and stay aligned with changing state over time?** `AgentOrientedTUI` is an attempt to answer that question. ## The Core Idea `AgentOrientedTUI` is an interface and runtime model for agent-facing software. Its goal is to let an agent work against runtime-managed state: persistent `View`s, stable references to domain objects, and actions that remain aligned with the current world. In short: > **AgentOrientedTUI tries to replace historical output reconstruction with direct work on the current world.** This article makes four claims. First, append-only transcripts are a poor substitute for maintained working state. Second, agent-facing software needs explicit views, references, and state-aligned actions. Third, this changes interaction from result accumulation to world maintenance. Finally, the model is promising but operationally constrained by real systems concerns such as invalidation, concurrency, and context management. ## Why Append-Only Results Break Down The problem is easy to miss if we frame it as "CLI versus GUI" or "tool calling versus no tool calling." Those frames are too coarse. The deeper limitation appears in a specific execution pattern: **results are appended into context as historical observations, and the transcript is then treated as a proxy for current state, even though the system does not maintain a current working object for the agent.** A file is the simplest example. Suppose an agent is working on `file.txt`. At `t1`, it runs: ```bash cat file.txt ``` Now one version of the file has entered context. At `t2`, the file is edited. The world has changed, but the previous result has not. The output from `t1` remains in context as a historically correct but now stale observation. At `t3`, the agent reads the file again: ```bash cat file.txt ``` Now context contains two snapshots of the same file: one historical, one current. The problem is not that either snapshot is false. The problem is that the runtime still has not maintained which one should count as the current working state. In controlled cases, the runtime may be able to update its maintained state from the tool call alone. But once external edits, formatter rewrites, partial failure, or asynchronous side effects enter the picture, that assumption becomes unreliable. Only one snapshot should ground the next action, but the system has not explicitly maintained that fact. It has only appended another observation, leaving the agent to infer: - which version is stale - which version is current - which version should ground the next step It is not that the tools cannot do anything useful. They can. The issue is that action execution and state maintenance are being treated as the same problem, when they are not. In short tasks, this may be survivable. In longer tasks, it becomes structural: - stale observations accumulate in context - the model spends tokens and attention on reconciliation - the "current world" remains an inference rather than a maintained object So the core question is not simply "can the model issue commands?" It is: > **who is responsible for maintaining the current world as the work continues?** ## A Smaller Shift: File View If the main issue is not command dispatch but state continuity, then one natural shift is to stop treating every
