00:00:00.900 --> 00:00:03.006
Opening a terminal in
your project folder,

00:00:03.397 --> 00:00:07.107
the long way: typing the whole path,
letter by letter.

00:00:08.888 --> 00:00:13.221
The short way: right-click the
folder, and choose Open in Terminal.

00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:18.045
AI for Research Efficiency.

00:00:18.095 --> 00:00:21.219
Episode 4:
Small habits that save hours.

00:00:24.300 --> 00:00:29.274
Last time, a team of agents reviewed 57
files, and you checked what they found.

00:00:30.015 --> 00:00:34.383
In this episode: nine small habits
for working with an agent every day.

00:00:34.955 --> 00:00:37.499
Windows first,
with the Mac beside it.

00:00:38.900 --> 00:00:42.251
One: from the folder
to the terminal, and back.

00:00:43.093 --> 00:00:45.475
In File Explorer,
right-click the folder,

00:00:45.606 --> 00:00:49.209
or empty space inside it,
and choose Open in Terminal.

00:00:50.915 --> 00:00:54.839
Or click the address bar,
type wt, and press Enter.

00:00:55.250 --> 00:00:57.332
It opens in the folder
you're looking at.

00:00:58.875 --> 00:00:59.556
On a Mac,

00:00:59.726 --> 00:01:04.251
Control-click the folder in Finder's
path bar, and choose Open in Terminal.

00:01:05.783 --> 00:01:08.951
And back again: type explorer .

00:01:09.001 --> 00:01:14.334
and the folder opens.
On a Mac, it's open .

00:01:17.300 --> 00:01:19.789
Two: hand the agent a file.

00:01:20.492 --> 00:01:24.201
Drag it into the terminal, and its
full path appears where you're typing.

00:01:26.302 --> 00:01:29.067
Or right-click it,
and choose Copy as path.

00:01:29.499 --> 00:01:33.406
On a Mac, hold Option,
and choose Copy as Pathname.

00:01:36.500 --> 00:01:39.466
Three: copy, paste, and stop.

00:01:40.247 --> 00:01:43.671
Ctrl+C copies,
but only when text is selected.

00:01:44.001 --> 00:01:46.604
With nothing selected,
it stops what's running.

00:01:48.264 --> 00:01:49.888
Ctrl+V pastes.

00:01:50.300 --> 00:01:55.915
On a Mac, Command+C and Command+V
copy and paste, and Control+C stops.

00:01:58.100 --> 00:02:03.591
Four: the Up Arrow brings back your last
command, so trying again takes one key.

00:02:05.371 --> 00:02:09.533
And Tab finishes a name: type
the first letters, and press Tab.

00:02:12.500 --> 00:02:15.405
Five: side by side, and larger.

00:02:16.187 --> 00:02:20.070
The Windows key and Left Arrow put the
terminal on one half of the screen.

00:02:20.421 --> 00:02:22.402
Then pick a window
for the other half.

00:02:23.962 --> 00:02:27.794
Ctrl and + make the text larger;
Ctrl and -,

00:02:27.945 --> 00:02:30.753
smaller. On a Mac, use Command.

00:02:34.100 --> 00:02:36.706
Six: teach the agent once.

00:02:37.549 --> 00:02:41.796
An instruction file tells it about
your folder: the question, the rules,

00:02:41.887 --> 00:02:45.553
where things go. The agent
reads it every time it starts.

00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:52.910
Type /init, and the agent writes a
first one: CLAUDE.md in Claude Code,

00:02:53.241 --> 00:02:55.095
AGENTS.md in Codex.

00:02:55.646 --> 00:02:59.593
Antigravity reads AGENTS.md too;
ask it to write one.

00:03:01.857 --> 00:03:05.821
And to point at one file,
type @ and the start of its name.

00:03:10.100 --> 00:03:13.404
Seven: stop, go back, carry on.

00:03:14.166 --> 00:03:16.290
Esc stops the agent mid-step.

00:03:16.681 --> 00:03:20.840
In Claude Code and Codex, press it twice
to go back to an earlier message,

00:03:20.890 --> 00:03:25.560
and try again from there.
In Antigravity, type /rewind.

00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:29.986
While it works,
type a correction and press Enter.

00:03:30.378 --> 00:03:32.923
It reaches the agent
without stopping the work.

00:03:34.664 --> 00:03:36.645
And tomorrow,
pick up where you left off:

00:03:37.016 --> 00:03:42.699
claude --continue,
codex resume, or agy -c.

00:03:46.100 --> 00:03:48.739
Eight: keep it moving from anywhere.

00:03:50.620 --> 00:03:55.050
In Claude Code or Antigravity,
type /remote-control.

00:03:55.641 --> 00:04:00.371
Then open the same session on your phone,
or in a browser, and keep steering it.

00:04:01.862 --> 00:04:04.993
Codex sets this up in
the ChatGPT desktop app,

00:04:05.204 --> 00:04:08.314
and you carry on from the
ChatGPT app on your phone.

00:04:09.596 --> 00:04:12.961
The work still runs on your
own computer, so leave it on.

00:04:14.900 --> 00:04:17.518
Nine: show it, and tell it.

00:04:18.332 --> 00:04:20.255
Paste a screenshot into the prompt.

00:04:20.646 --> 00:04:24.601
On Windows, that's Alt+V in
Claude Code and Antigravity.

00:04:24.952 --> 00:04:28.497
Codex takes an image with -i,
when it starts.

00:04:30.061 --> 00:04:35.228
Or talk instead of typing: /voice,
in Claude Code or Antigravity.

00:04:35.558 --> 00:04:38.782
Codex documents no voice input
for its command line.

00:04:41.100 --> 00:04:44.736
Every key, for all three tools,
is on the companion page.

00:04:50.900 --> 00:04:54.989
Pause here, and try three: open a
terminal from your practice folder,

00:04:55.240 --> 00:04:59.108
start your agent,
and point it at one file with @.

00:05:02.900 --> 00:05:08.780
So: start in the folder, hand it exact
paths, teach it once, and keep it moving.

00:05:12.300 --> 00:05:15.613
Next: save and share
your work with GitHub.
