Cozy — a terminal environment for AI agents | 1. Copying commands and their output
Meet Cozy - my terminal environment for working with AI agents inside isolated `sbx` sandboxes (Docker's CLI for running Linux VMs on macOS and Windows). In this first video of the series, I show Cozy in action with one everyday topic: copying commands and their output from the terminal - without touching the mouse. Full notes link in the description below.

Curiosity about terminal environments - everything else ships inside Cozy!
💡 Why Cozy?
The terminal is becoming the main place where humans and AI agents work together. Cozy packs Nushell, Zellij, Helix, and a set of custom modules into one sandbox, so you get a convenient, isolated environment in a single command - and everything you copy inside it lands in your host clipboard.
