    Uh, nice! I hadn't heard about that spec before. I'll give the skill a try.

    Please at least pretend to read the article before posting something like that.

    Hi, I'm the author of GAI. I'm glad that you are happy with it! I'm using it a lot myself, both for own and client projects, but I wasn't sure if anyone else was. :D I'm actually t…

    Oooh, I didn't know that.

    I think you had a post about marimo notebooks at some point? I think they would be better suited for that. Their representation is just Python, they can run as scripts, and they ha…

    That's actually one of the things that has kept me from using Claude Code web (that, and I often need a Chrome browser for the agent). But they must be working on it. I saw an MCP …

    I guess it would still make sense to have "demo" and "browser-use" skills, so that the agent can reach for them proactively? I always try to remove as much friction as possible for…

    Oh, I hadn't seen that one either, thanks for sharing. Here I am still using the Chrome Devtools MCP like a caveman. :D

    If you're coming from the Python world, definitely. I find `go install github.com/simonw/rodney@latest` equally easy. :D Although you need the Go tooling installed, of course. But …

    I’d rather say you can use skills to do RAG by supplying the right tools in the skill (“here’s how you query our database”). Calling the skill system itself RAG is a bit of a stret…

    What I've done in a project once is use Purchasing Power Parity: basically, there's an index for purchasing power, and you adjust your pricing based on that. It's implemented in so…

    Thank you for sharing the youtube links in particular! It's nice to get some background info and intent for interesting libraries.

    For Go, something like gomponents [0] or Templ [1] would fit that. (Disclaimer: I wrote gomponents.) I even have a Datastar integration now. [2] [0]: https://www.gomponents.com [1]…

    It's a frontend framework and a backend SDK in multiple languages, for SSE and more.

    Agreed about the Postgres export! For sqlite, I would recommend "sqlite3 app.db '.backup backup.db'" though, if that's an option. Guaranteed consistent!

    No worries. :-) Thank you for your follow-up, kind stranger on the internet.

    Sure, you are correct! But I've already learned about pglite and sqlite-vector from the comments here alone. So if one reads the article AND the comments, I hope it's a net-positiv…

    Yeah, totally agreed. An embedded Postgres would be sweet (see pglite elsewhere here in the comments, looks interesting).

    I am so tempted to benchmark some more… :D Would be great to get some numbers on this, super interesting.
