Checkpoints are not granular enough. You have to grab a work summary before the context window closes, not when you decide to commit. I have thousands of work summaries from one project alone. I use them to traverse sessions. This is the agent that does the work: https://github.com/ChicagoDave/devarch/blob/main/docs/.claud... My success with Claude Code is directly related to this agent and its output.

interesting. Do you have an example of what exactly it outputs and how you store that? how do you use the outputs? As a pointer to a new agent with fresh context to get them up to speed?

@dang with the launch of open claw I have seen so much more LLM slop comments. I know meta comments like mine aren't usually encouraged, but I think we need to do something about this as a community. Is there anything we can do? (either ban or at least requiring full disclosure for bot comments would be nice). EDIT: I suspect the current "solution" is to just downvote (which I do!), but I think people who don't chat…

The moltbook-ification of every online forum seems inevitable this year. I wish we had a counter to this.

This is the current context docs in my text adventure authoring platform Sharpee: https://github.com/ChicagoDave/sharpee/tree/main/docs/contex... Note I archive these to a different non-repo folder regularly. It's fun to tell Claude to go through them like a RAG implementation and note the progress of my development over time, which I update semi-regularly at: https://david.cornelson.net/sharpee-status-20260109.html…

Of course it's how it works, how else do you justify a company that is making negative profit into some how being worth $300M? Like that's just the game, IDK why people accept it. It's not democratic and all it does it prime the population for fraud and abuse.

Yeah, that's not the game at all. Have you ever invested in startups?

The product isn't the software, it's your data. The VC's didn't give Dohmke $60m to build a new frontend for Git/ GitHub... They're going to capture your conversations and code with AI (The outcomes) and use that to train better models which they'll rent back at you.
