“Session orchestration behavior I like to have one session that discovers issues and spawns sessions to fix them. This used to work well, but maybe with the changes to the tools, it's not working well anymore. 1. Main session spawns another session <img width="947" height="202" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7243993d-d3a5-413c-b695-5c4790ccd39c" /> 2. Child session runs and instead of explaining the issue to me, it just reports back to the original session <img width="950" height="458" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/6be12f90-0cbd-4af3-80ed-a2ccc376def3" /> 3. Main session gets the message but doesn't do anything There is usually a system notification here too but it goes away when I click away <img width="926" height="897" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/9d1d473d-2f28-4782-becb-932225e6ed9f" /> My intention was to spawn a standalone session where I could continue this individual piece of work, not to do orchestration from the main session, but now that is much harder to do. I'm not sure exactly what I should be doing in this scenario and I'm wondering if this is the intent of the tools and if I should be working differently, or if the original workflow is still valid.”

Competitive Landscape

  • Existing solutions are either too expensive or too limited
  • Most competitors target enterprise, leaving mid-market underserved
  • Community scripts and manual processes are the primary alternative

Recommended Next Steps

  1. ✓Validate pain intensity with 5-10 target customer interviews
  2. ✓Build minimal viable solution addressing the core workflow
  3. ✓Test pricing with early adopters from community forums
