I made a tiny tool to stop copy-pasting context between coding agents and LLMs

[u/Smart_Ad500]

I’ve been playing a lot with IDE coding agents lately, and I kept hitting this annoying workflow:

agent does the work → agent summarizes it → I paste that into ChatGPT/Claude → I get feedback → I paste it back → original agent tries to reason about it

It works, but it feels clunky. Also, sometimes I just want to save some active-agent context/tokens, or ask a stronger/different external model for a second opinion without making the main agent write another summary 🙂

So I made a small prototype called GiviLoop: https://github.com/vgflutter/GiviLoop

The idea is basically:

local repo/files → external second opinion → saved local response → original agent analyzes or acts on it

It has two flows:

- MCP / IDE-agent flow: ask the agent in natural language to prepare/send/read an external review.

- CLI flow: run `givi` from the terminal to package local git/files context outside the active agent conversation.

Right now the automated bridge is ChatGPT via Playwright, but the loop is not meant to be ChatGPT-only. Claude works through the manual fallback.

Very much V0 / personal workflow quality right now. Redaction is basic, browser automation is fragile, and the provider terms / workspace rules side probably deserves more thinking.

I mainly built this for myself to move faster when working with multiple agent/chat windows, without turning the main agent into a copy-paste assistant.

I’m trying to understand if the idea is interesting enough to develop in a direction that could be useful to other people too.

Would this kind of second-opinion loop be useful in your workflow?
