I did finally add jj-hunk to my AGENTS.md, and it's now a sizable set of instructions, to my chargrin. I haven't spent the time yet to trim it down but that's coming.

I do think that as nice as jj is, the git add -p and git rebase -i are both still tools that base jj could do much better on, that people rightfully are going to miss & feel absolutely stranded, bereft, alone for when they are not there. They are just very clear. There's other tools in jj ecosystem you can build back up by (jj-hunk for example) but the Great Filter of dev ambition to keep striving on just to get back to the core git basics is deeply winnowing.

Can you elaborate? I don't know any reason I would prefer `git rebase -i` over jujutsu. Do you have an example?

(Ditto for `git add -p`)
