Why I support @AnthropicAI ... and think you should too. Yes, Claude Code (@claudeai) has the best coding model in the best harness. Yes, Cowork is phenomenal. But those are trees. We need to look at the forest, because it's currently dry -- and we're giving everyone matches.

It's going well so far. Claude Code + hooks + local docs + sub agents + slash commands + full headless instances of recursive Claude Code CLI 🤯. Excited to get it to a point where you can help test. Wait till you see what hooks + agents + my PROJECT_INDEX.json can do (later).

Don't trust when Claude Code claims a tricky UI bug was fixed. Have it make a testing plan & make sure it closes this loop. It codes, one subagent tests, and a second blind subagent validates against the plan. A specialized, blind subagent is more trustworthy than Claude alone.😇

There are so many ways to improve Claude Code using hooks and sub agents. Here’s one example of many I’ve been testing. Ephemeral, scoped sub agents, Claude dynamically creates for a task and removes when the task is done. They have some advantages over generic Task sub agents

Did you know that it's possible to create a hook to let Claude Code capture the session id of a sub agent and then pass that session id into a new headless Claude Code CLI instance with the -r flag so that it starts up with all the context of the sub agent? With prompt caching.🤯

The new sub agent system is incredibly powerful. Not only can we control sub agent's system prompts, we can pass $ARGUMENTS to sub agents with slash commands, build and call them on the fly, handle dynamic context between them, so much more. Here are some unlocks and things that

Claude Code now lets you create teams of custom agents. We'd love to hear what you build.

Hey! I have used all the major agent IDEs and compared them against one another in their max/pro paid subscription plans. I've been vibe coding since long before it was a term - I think since around when the first Codex came out in 2021. I know you are very experienced in this

I tried to convince @AnthropicAI to hire Pliny a year ago. And to convince Pliny to join them. If anyone is considering dissing him, please don't. We each hope to use our talents in ways that might better the world. His path is high stakes and his choices have a stronger

On Pliny–I talked with @elder_plinius on a call last August. People spoke of him like Voldemort but I was curious about his motivation. Why was he publishing hacks? He was reporting jailbreaks to providers ahead of time & aiming for benevolent ASI. He then published a manifesto…

So happy Claude Code can now use my Claude Max subscription allotment. There's not much reason for me to use Cursor/Windsurf/Cline/Codex/etc. anymore. And I can't say @alexalbert__ or @AnthropicAI don't listen to feedback. Here's my request from before Claude Code was released...

Claude Sonnet 4 now supports a 1 million token context window on the Anthropic API. Process over 75,000 lines of code or hundreds of documents in a single request.

I’ve gotten Operator to control not just the browser in their sandbox but my Raspberry Pi desktop with Ubuntu, a separate Linux os hosted on my Mac, and my actual Mac mini, iPhone and iPad. Only issue is inserting text to environments outside of the Chromium browser OpenAI gives
