    Wooo that's so cool... it seems to be private?

    Fantastic! You should open source it

    Have you tried analysing all your prompts, and then telling it to "figure out" what custom skills might improve your prompts? I do actually have another project I'm working on that…

    Nice! I love Cal Newport. I've definitely found spinning up multiple Claude Code instances eats into your focus, and you can "lose yourself" quite quickly. I find I use pomodoros m…

    Me too. Also it’s good to get decent reports that can be used for other things. For example the logs help me fill in my time sheets. Also it forces me to take breaks

    Thanks for sharing. I was stuck in a Greek hospital for 8 days with 2 fractured vertebrae, before I could get home. It’s easy to get into a spiral, but putting your mind to build s…

    It has sensible defaults just do /pomo start It’s only if you want to customise it. Also CC will do it for you. It’s very agent friendly

    Mmm apols. You’d think I’d have learned my lesson by now, but it’s just so seductive to have it write for you. I got burned with this very HN post for doing just that, but they kin…

    Ah nice thanks. Love tmux, incidentally I came across this the other day as an alternative to Ghostty: https://supacode.sh/

    Oh that’s an idea? Could use hooks or something?

    Fantastic. I think these small productivity tools embedded in harnesses is pretty powerful. I especially like that you can get the AI to use it and also just pop into the CLI. Also…

    Ooo that's cool thank you. That's really useful! My other CLI project was: https://github.com/emson/pymodoro

    Show HN: Claudoro, Pomodoro timer embedded in the Claude Code statusline

    3 weeks ago I had a nasty accident and fractured my vertebrae. As I lay in bed I needed something to take my mind off it all so built "Claudoro". Claudoro is a pomodoro timer built…

    These are my "LLM Wiki" notes, I've been using to build a central resource of "how to build an AI First Startup" If you've got any other tips *I'd love to hear them* - thank you!

    So I’m an idiot. Somehow I fell into this and now feel guilty. So I figured I’d write it up so that it doesn’t happen to anyone else.

    Over the last few days I've added peer-to-peer communication, using a simple message passing and status checks... no need for complicated hooks etc. One repo agent found a bug and …

    Over the last few months I've been quietly adding more features to elfmem my "evolving" agent memory library ( https://github.com/emson/elfmem ). I'm now able to use it in Claude C…

    This has been a fascinating project. I've had the chance to explore some really original ideas. Things like: blocks that can be calibrated, mind blocks that can be used to simulate…

    Agents need memory that evolves. Memory blocks should degrade or get promoted over time, this opens up agents as repo curators... magic then happens if they can then talk to each o…

    This is interesting as there is definitely a middle ground for agent memory. On the openclaw side you have a single MEMORY.md file on the other you have RAG and GraphRAG. I wonder …
