How does modo help vs using a skill or claud.md that says to always do this? Not a critique just giving you a chance to sell it :)

Really cool. I've been building a mission control system (multi agent orchestration) that follows very similar patterns of spec driven development, steering, and task management. Having this baked into an IDE is a great idea. For observability, would be amazing to have session replay or at least session exploration built in. Kinda like git history but tied to tasks and tool use instead of file diffs.
