After breaking a Mac sync server, Amp suggested a thread on each machine; they collaborated for hours, swapping files.

Prompt for your agent

Goal: Fix a service that spans two computers.
Setup: agents used in source: Amp; tools/MCPs stated: Amp mobile app.
Steps:
1. Start an Amp thread on each machine involved (here a MacBook and a Mac mini).
2. Let the threads collaborate, sharing files without SSH, through the repair.
3. Monitor them from the Amp mobile app.
Rules: ask me before anything irreversible (sending, posting, paying, deleting); don’t invent data, results or tools I haven’t given you; tell me what you couldn’t verify.
