Reading up on Claude Code

reminder to run `/tui fullscreen` in the claude code cli if you haven't already 👍

@lydiahallie

EVERYTHING you see in the video below was generated using Claude Code. Turns out, you can vibe animate your way to a demo video with some super cool motion graphics elements. Doesn't mean it's an easy task, but you'd be surprised by what it's capable of. #Claude #Remotion

@TimotejKochjar

Some of our favorite Claude Code projects we've seen lately: https://x.com/mannay/status/2087522034351796728?s=20

@claudeai

You can now set Claude Code's output style to Concise. Claude leads with the result, keeps responses short, and still gives full detail when you ask. Turn it on in /config → Output style, or set "outputStyle": "Concise" in settings.json.

@ClaudeDevs

Today we’re releasing an early preview of the /design command in Claude Code! from CC Desktop or CLI, try something like "/design a few options for {feature}" before you build — pick your fave artboard, edit it and implement.

@nateparrott

9 things that took my Claude Code from okay to unreal: 1. Workspace: a repo that explains itself 2. Memory: the files that tell it how you work 3. Brief: plan mode before it touches anything 4. Ticket: one clear task with a finish line 5. Eyes: it opens the app and clicks through like a customer 6. Review: it checks its own work against your standards 7. Schedule: routines that run while you sleep 8. Permissions: what it can do freely vs what stays with you 9. Skills: reusable actions, plus connectors and hooks Note: thanks to @AnthropicAI for sponsoring today's ep. I go through all 9 with the exact prompts/best practices and a 7 day plan to set it up in the full episode. Once these are in place, Claude Code just hits different Watch

@gregisenberg

Claude Code can design now. The new /design skill (research preview) brings Claude Design's artboard workflow into the CLI and Desktop, built on artifacts. Run /design to get editable artboards for your UI — pick one, tweak it, then have Claude implement it.

@ClaudeDevs

Hit your usage limit in Claude Code desktop? There's now an auto-continue checkbox. Turn it on, and it'll automatically continue where you left off once your limit resets.

@ClaudeDevs

Your sessions have names and can DM each other in Claude Code. claude --name backend claude --name frontend > tell frontend the orders endpoint moved to /v2 it's very effective.

@adocomplete

A very fun exercise is to export all your bank accounts (as CSV) both personal and business and stock broker And dump it all into Claude Code and ask it to make a little dashboard showing your spending It's hard to know how much you actually spend over lots of accounts so this can help you understand that You'll spend some time merging transactions (like company names change or their statement label changes), and categorizing, you can just do this by talking to Claude Code btw very easy, I also hooked it up to @xai Grok so it can use that to categorize mass transactions (very cheap) The best part isn't the dashboard it makes but that once you have all the data collected, you can ask Claude Code lots of questions directly about your finances and learn stuff, like I learned: - I was paying for some subscriptions for 2 years I forgot about ($$$) - My US stocks charge me withholding tax (30%) on dividends, which I knew but never realized how much $$$ it was (which is why non-US citizens should buy UCITS ETFs not US stocks!) - My pool remodeling was ridiculously expensive compared to the rest of the home remodeling and we got fleeced hard (that's life!), then the pool company caused a €9000 water leak that they won't pay (funny) - I spent $400K on domains over the years, I should probably stop spending money on them, it's an addiction @marckohlbrugge gave me and it's way more than my gf's shopping - My biggest monthly cost by far is AI at about $24K/month in GPU costs for Photo AI, but that's just how it is, I already got the cheapest rates possible, AI is pricey! - My 2nd biggest cost is taxes, who would have thought??? - Travel is quite expensive, flying business class, getting nice hotels and regularly traveling adds up a lot! - My business costs without AI (!) are extremely low, about $5K/month on revenue which is about 98% profit margin (!), with AI it goes up to $28K/mo or about 86% profit margin (still good!) - Lawyers become quite an expense in this part of my life, you buy a house you pay a lawyer and notary, you register trademarks for your business you pay a lawyer, but they're a great thing to spend money on I think because they protect you from losing much more money than they cost! - I started spending much more money since 2022 because of AI costs but also making much more money because of AI, so it's good - My spending has remained remarkably consistent as a percentage of my net worth at "just" 5%/year, which is close to FIRE which is always my goal (don't spend over 3%/year of your net worth), in my case it's different cause I actually have company income, so it's more of a fun goal to be responsible with my money - Around 2024 my life definitely switched from barely spending money and living as a digital nomad to buying a house and spending on that a lot, I knew a house was a money pit, but it's also a nice money pit and it helps me sleep better (great AC and bedroom), live healthier (home gym), and work better (coworking), so it's worth it - I barely have any personal subscriptions except Netflix, YouTube and Spotify, I asked it to built a "Recurring subscriptions" box too so I can see what subs I have and cancel them Try it!

@levelsio

Spotify has run this exact play before. In March 2020 they open sourced Backstage, the internal portal their engineers built to manage 14,000 software components. It became the industry standard for developer portals. Over 3,400 companies adopted it, including Netflix, American Airlines, and Expedia. Then Spotify built a paid enterprise product, Portal, on top of the free standard they created. Xirp is the sequel, aimed at a bigger prize. Look at what it actually does. Every agent session runs in its own git worktree, so 50+ agents can work on the same codebase in parallel without touching each other. And context lives outside the agent itself, so you can switch from Claude Code to Codex to Gemini mid-project and the full working state carries over. That second part is the whole strategy. Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google are spending billions to make their agent the one your team depends on. Xirp makes them interchangeable. Your dependency moves up a layer, to the environment holding your sessions, your service catalog, and your architectural decisions. Which happens to plug into Portal, the product Spotify sells. The model vendors are fighting to own the agent. Spotify is betting the agent becomes the commodity and the context becomes the product. Last time they made that bet, 3,400 companies took the free version and Spotify sold them the enterprise one. The music streamer from Stockholm is quietly building one of the better dev tools businesses in the industry, and almost nobody noticed the first time.

@aakashgupta

New in Claude Code: your sessions can now message each other. Instead of having to re-explain yourself in another session, you can now tell Claude to do it. It sends a summary (not your history or files), and the other session picks it up mid-task.

@ClaudeDevs

I think a lot of people don't realize- if you connect a Claude Connector (e.g. your gmail, calendar, slack, etc), Claude Code will also be able to use them, including in Artifacts.

@trq212

Today @fireship_dev covered this: - Indie hackers may be the first type of developer to go extinct - The classic indie hacking playbook (last decade): learn to code → find a niche → ship a micro-SaaS → build in public → post MRR screenshots after failures → repeat until it works - Coding used to be hard and expensive, so execution mattered far more than ideas - That equation has flipped: execution now costs ~$20/month, so anyone can build personal software instead of paying for SaaS - Example: Why pay $29/month for a product when Claude Code can recreate a better version in 20 minutes? - Building in public on X makes it easy for others to steal your idea/roadmap - AI raises the ceiling (indie hackers become far more productive) but also lowers the floor (the space is now crowded with normies who can vibe-code their own tools) - This trend will accelerate as AI gets cheaper and smarter - Silver lining: the disruption can "fertilize the soil" for those who master distribution, branding, or proprietary data

@levelsio

I tried @jack's Buzz. It's like Slack + OpenClaw + Herdr + but with some really unique features that people are sleeping on. The video below shows how it works, and some of my thoughts on the process and platform, e.g.: - Create and interact with agents on top of any harness (claude code, codex, pi, etc.) - Choose which models agents use, including local ones - Agents can delegate work and work in parallel in git worktrees - Agents are first-class citizens and work like humans (creating channels, delegating, access to chat history) - You can share AI compute within a community - It's completely open-source and decentralized Things I like: - Delegating work in chat feels natural: tag an agent, it replies in a thread with status updates as it e.g. compiles, commits, and deploys. - Shared compute: relay owners can share local compute with members, so a community could pool funds for one beefy machine running a local model and everyone uses it. - It's built on Nostr, an open protocol already tied into Bitcoin Lightning so I can imagine communities tipping each other or paying for compute/agent tasks with instant zero-fee micropayments in the future. - It ties together things like OpenClaw, an agent manager, and Slack-style chat into one tool. Things I didn't like: - You can't see what the agent is doing in a terminal. The activity view exists, but if you're used to watching a session run, this UI feels a bit abstracted. A terminal view would be great. - It feels slower than running a session in Claude Code, though no evidence to back that up. For that reason I found myself doing one-off tasks in the terminal instead. Verdict: - I really like it so far and can genuinely imagine working with a team this way. - It doesn't feel ready for big, complex tasks yet. For shallower tasks, it's perfect. - The shared compute + Nostr/Lightning angle is what really separates it from every other agent manager for me, and I think that future is coming.

@hot_town

i've used so many harnesses over the past few months, i'm having trouble remembering *where* i had past conversations. claude desktop *chat*, claude desktop *cowork*, claude desktop *code*, claude code TUI, codex, chatgpt, hermes, openclaw, conductor 😭

@Shpigford

I'm not an engineer, but I rebuilt Savee — the app a million designers use Friday, 5pm. I asked Claude how much work it would take to rebuild our iOS app fully native. It had been sitting on our someday list for years, waiting for a team we didn't have. I stopped waiting and built it myself — a designer with Claude Code, one feature at a time. Claude wrote the Swift; I answered with the feedback designers give: two points left, lighter tint, that corner radius is wrong. Another round. And another. 33 days from the first prompt to live on the App Store. 1,078 prompts. Three releases in the first week. Something changed for designers. The distance between an idea and shipping used to be a team, a budget, and a year. Now it's a conversation. Savee 3.0 is out. It's the app I always wanted us to have 🚀

@and__dre

If you wanna do it yourself, this is how: Buy (~15 min) 1. Cheap VPS from Hetzner or DigitalOcean (~€5-10/mo), Ubuntu 24.04, tick automatic backups at checkout 2. Add your domain to Cloudflare (free plan), switch nameservers at your registrar 3. Install Termius (SSH app) + Tailscale (private network) on laptop and phone, free tiers Lock it down (~20 min) 4. Generate an SSH key in Termius, add it to the VPS at creation. Keys only, never passwords 5. SSH in once via public IP, run updates, install Tailscale on the server, log it in 6. Disable Tailscale key expiry for the server (admin console, one click) 7. Verify you can SSH via the server's Tailscale 100.x address BEFORE the next step 8. Provider firewall: delete all inbound rules, allow only port 443 from Cloudflare's published IP ranges. No public SSH at all. You enter through the tunnel 9. Test from outside: public IP times out on everything, Tailscale IP connects. Server is now invisible 10. One SSH key per device. Phone gets its own key added to authorized_keys Install the brain (~5 min) 11. apt install tmux then install Claude Code (official native installer, one curl command) 12. Run Claude Code inside a tmux session so it survives disconnects and keeps working while your laptop is closed Hand over everything else 13. Write ONE long handover prompt telling Claude Code: the server facts, the security model (so it doesn't "fix" it), folder conventions (/srv/http/domain per project, one tmux session each), your preferences, and standing rules (confirm before destructive actions, new services bind to localhost/Tailscale only) 14. Make it write all of that into CLAUDE.md first, so every future session already knows everything 15. Backups before features: nightly job pushing your data to GitHub, tested, before a single page exists 16. Then let it install the web server (Caddy + Cloudflare DNS plugin plays nicest with the locked firewall), set up SQLite, deploy the first page From then on you never administer the server again. You open Termius from anywhere, on any device, and just say what you want. BOSH

@robj3d3

Claude Code on desktop now works with the iOS simulator. Build and run your iOS app, and the simulator opens in a panel right next to your conversation. Available today in public beta.

@ClaudeDevs

Kimi K3 is absolutely hammering through my Windows XP Simulator to do list Claude Code couldn't do this for 2 weeks or kept getting stuck because I would get downgraded to Opus for safety then to Sonnet again for safety, useless 2 weeks of time wasted due to safety guardrails that are dumb just to protect me from making a fun hobby project Thank you China!!!!

@levelsio

Smol tip: type ! in Claude Code to run a shell command. The output lands back in the conversation, so Claude can pick up the work from there.

@delba_oliveira

How to code with Kimi K3 (better than Fable and no restrictions) today: - Ask Codex or Claude Code to install OpenCode (yes it will 😂!) - Go to

@levelsio

Claude Code artifacts can now call MCP connectors, letting you build dashboards and apps that can fetch information and take actions for each viewer on demand. Available on Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plans. Not available on publicly-shared artifacts.

@ClaudeDevs

Introducing TogetherLink! An open source CLI to run any open source model inside your favorite coding harness. Run GLM 5.2 directly in Codex and Claude Code.

@nutlope

Today we're shipping screen-aware dictation. First, we built a speedy speech-to-text (very fast, ~450ms). But, many products do this! So we went further. Now dictate using your screen as context. In Claude Code, it writes the prompt. In G-Mail, it replies in your voice. Demo:

@FarzaTV

please i'm begging you show me something you built not another "this is my custom agent setup" post where you pretend you're doing something smarter than vanilla claude code please

@thdxr

I built a skill to let my Claude Code build premium landing pages like this in one shot. The 3 sites in the video are one-shot results, ~$10-15 each. Register @higgsfield_ai , install the CLI and scroll-world skill, hand the rest to Claude Code.

@the_cyw

New in Claude Code: /checkup Run /checkup to: 1. Clean up unused skills/MCPs/plugins and save context 2. Dedup your local CLAUDE.md against the checked in CLAUDE.md 3. Break up root CLAUDE.md into nested CLAUDE.md's + skills 4. Turn off slow hooks 5. Update your Claude Code to the latest version 6. Enable auto mode by default 7. Pre-approve frequently denied read-only commands .. And a few other goodies. /checkup confirms with you before making any changes. Enjoy!

@bcherny

I'm open-sourcing my Agent Skills library. 75 skills for Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, and other agents, focused on web design, landing pages, motion, WebGL, UI styles, and assets. A few favorites: - Video to Super Prompt Turns a screen recording of a design, landing page, or animation into a super detailed prompt that Fable 5 can one-shot into HTML. - HTML to Interaction Prompts Takes an existing HTML page, like something built in Aura, and extracts prompts for sections, buttons, animations, WebGL effects, and interactions. - Stitched Full Page Capture Captures the entire landing page, not just the hero, so you can use the full page as a design reference. - Daily UI Inspiration Combines multiple skills into an agent loop that browses the web, captures great landing pages, and turns them into detailed prompt packs. It's free. Fork them and adapt for your own workflow.

@MengTo

SCOOP: Perplexity is quietly building an AI coding tool that takes on Claude Code and Cursor. It's meant to build software end-to-end. The tool is being used internally (for now) under the codename 'Teammate.'

@CharlesRollet1

🍌 Got so lazy to order stuff on UberEats that I asked Claude Code to do it Very easy, it just installs Playwright and then you login once to UberEats on web (the iOS app is also just a web wrapper, nice) Then you can just say "order bananas" and it does it!

@levelsio

This is our first time telling the story of how we first built and launched Claude Code, starting with its origins in Anthropic safety research. So much more to do. We are 1% done.

@aparnadhinak

Fable 5 + Goose Ads is insane – literally a full ad-creative team right in Claude Code. 1. Install the skill: npx gooseworks install --all npx gooseworks login 2. Ask Claude Fable to make ads for your brand. /goose-ads create ads for my brand <your-website>. Fable 5 pulls the ads already winning in your space and rebuilds them on-brand – your product, your palette, your copy – a whole batch, ready to test. It can ship a month of creative testing in a single prompt. This is also possible with Opus and Sonnet, but Fable's brand research is next level. Link below.

@shivsakhuja

Sonnet 5 is here. It's worse than Opus 4.8 on nearly every benchmark... Does that mean it's useless? Absolutely not. Use it with Claude Code Dynamic Workflows! 1. /model set to Sonnet 5 2. /effort set to Ultracode 3. Any complex task will kick off a dynamic workflow This will only become more powerful when Fable is back. You'll use Fable 5 as the superintelligent advisor and Sonnet 5 as the fast and efficient implementer.

@steipete

Claude Desktop is now available on Linux (Ubuntu and Debian) in beta. Alongside the browser and terminal, you now get a first-class desktop experience with Claude Code, Claude Cowork, and chat on all paid plans.

@ClaudeDevs

As engineering, product, design, DS, etc. melt into a new kind of role, I was reflecting on what roles might look like in the future. For example, when I look at the Claude Code team I see what I think is five archetypes: 1. Prototyper: comes up with brand new ideas; churns out many ideas, most of which don't ship 2. Builder: quickly turns a prototype/idea into production-grade product/infra 3. Sweeper: cleans up the UI, simplifies the code and system, unships, optimizes performance 4. Grower: takes a product that has been built and iterates on it to improve Product-Market Fit 5. Maintainer: owns a mature system to make it secure, reliable, fast, and efficient as it scales Many people span across 2 roles, and sometimes 3 roles. I also notice that these roles are not really tied to job function -- eg. across Anthropic, some designers match category 1, some 2, some 3; same for engineers, PM, DS. A healthy team needs a mix of these, depending on the product: - A product that is new and pre-PMF needs people that are strong at 1+2+3 - A product that is growing and has found PMF needs 2+3+4 and some 5 - A product that has strong PMF needs 3+4+5 and some 2 Maybe product roles of the future will look more like this, and less like the domain-specific roles of today?

@bcherny

I'll bet you didnt know you could do this with Claude Code

@LLMJunky

This is the most exciting time in history to be a solopreneur: - Claude Code to build - Stripe to monetize - Fastlane to market - Posthog to understand usage This is insane 👇
