"All my stateless tools (like Jira, AWS, GitHub) have been migrated to simple CLIs." - How do you get Jira on the CLI?

Jiratui[0] has some support for basic automation. That's probably what OP is using as it is the most poppular Jira cli tool out there.

> Finally, we keep this file synced with an AGENTS.md file to maintain compatibility with other AI IDEs that our engineers might be using. I researched this the other day, the recommended (by Anthropic) way to do this is to have a CLAUDE.md with a single line in it: @AGENTS.md Then keep your actual content in the other file: https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/claude-code/claude-code-on-t...

We have an AGENTS.md symlinked to CLAUDE.md, seems to work fine.

Skills are also a convenient way for writing self-documenting packages. They solve the problem of teaching the LLM how to use a library.

I have started experimenting with a skills/ directory in my open source software, and then made a plugin marketplace that just pulls them in. It works well, but I don't know how scalable it will be.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

They all have optional ide integration, e.g Claude knows the active vscode tab and highlighted lines.

Is that better than Cursor? Same? Just different?

That particular part is the same, roughly. The bigger issue is just that CC's a better agent than Cursor, last I checked.

There's even an official Anthropic VS Code extension to run CC in VS Code. The biggest advantage is being able to use VS Code's diff views, which I like more than in the terminal. But the VS Code CC extension doesn't support all the latest features of the terminal CC, so I'm usually still in the terminal.

Crazy how fast Claude Code is evolving, every week there’s something new to learn, and it just keeps getting better.

Nothing crazy about it, judging by how much CPU and memory it uses. Now, if it managed to grow features without bringing my M4 Mac with 64GB of ram to a crawl... that's be magic.

I don't understand how people use the `git worktree` workflow. I get that you want to isolate your work, but how do you deal with dev servers, port conflicts and npm installs? When I tried it, it was way more hassle than it was worth.

You think it would be a good idea to use a symlink instead?

I use symbolic links, and Claude Code often gets confused, requiring several iterations to understand that the CLAUDE.md file is actually a symbolic link to AGENTS.md, and that these are not two different, duplicate files

The recommended approach has the advantage of separating information specific to Claude Code, but I think that in the long run, Anthropic will have to adopt the AGENTS.md format

Also, when using separate files, memories will be written to CLAUDE.md, and periodic triaging will be required: deciding what to leave there and what to move to AGENTS.md

My m1 macbook pro works fine with +10 claude code sessions open at the same time (iTerm2). Are you using a terminal with a memory leak perhaps?
