Hatchet used Claude Code, a terminal-native coding agent, to build and ship a real TUI-based workflow manager - fast. Like, days-fast. Powered by the Charm stack (Bubble Tea, Lip Gloss, Huh), it leans hard into CLI-heavy development.
Claude Code handled live testing in tmux, whipped up frontend views from specs and hooks, and pulled off an ASCII DAG renderer - with some open-source repo sleuthing.
