Daniel Vaughn's experimental editor, at 332 points and 177 comments, has you write a declarative .hz file instead of chatting. FizzBuzz becomes four lines. When you edit the file, Huzzah sends only the diff to the model. danielvaughn.dev The argument is that chat prompts are longform, imperative, and transient, while a pseudocode file is a persistent record of intent that survives the session and lives in version control. This is the first coding-agent design I've seen that treats the prompt as a source file rather than conversation exhaust, and I think it's directionally right even if .hz specifically isn't the answer.
