thrashl

Reduce thrash. Increase signal.

thrashl is a lightweight control layer for working with coding agents.

It turns Claude (or any agent) from a drifting conversation into a predictable system using:

• explicit modes
• stop conditions
• high-signal handoffs

The goal is simple: less guessing, fewer loops, faster progress.

Core idea

Most agent workflows fail because of thrash:

• repeated guesses
• unclear next steps
• bloated context
• no clean stopping point

thrashl fixes this by enforcing:

• mode switching → /impl, /debug, /vet, /save
• early stopping → don’t let agents guess forever
• decision outputs → every step produces something actionable

---

Commands

• /impl → make a minimal change
• /debug → form hypotheses and pick one experiment
• /vet → skeptical review + high-value tests
• /save → write a clean markdown handoff

You don’t need all of them.

Even just /debug or /save will help.

Installation

mkdir -p ~/.claude/commands ~/.claude/agents
./sync-claude.sh

To keep ~/.claude in sync after updates:

./sync-claude.sh

sync-claude.sh rsyncs claude/commands/ and claude/agents/ into ~/.claude/. Copy claude/CLAUDE.md to ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md manually if desired.
