A related idea is to have the LLM quiz you, Socratic-style about a topic of interest. It persists in asking questions at deeper levels until you arrive at the answer yourself. This forces you to think hard about a problem, and this effort helps with understanding, learning and retention. Of course I made a Socratic-quiz skill for this, to use with any coding agent or similar: https://pchalasani.github.io/claude-code-…

if your power is LLM, what are you without it ???
LLM's big point is that it is an excellent learning tool
Lot of people want to generate stuff from it
but perhaps overlooked is the knowledge you can gain from it
it is the best tutor you will ever have!
btw it sucks that you have to disclose if you are trying to make a buck from a project or not.
Making money shouldn't be vilified or frowned upon.

Without it, I was a stack overflow lurker, and before that a forum reader
I think there's going to be the exact and precise range of people there has always been: some people are curious, and want/need to understand what they're doing, some people are not and just want to do. That want/need is a fundamental personality trait what makes an expert. LLM are a dream come true for these curious types. They'll only be accelerated by them. I don't think there's any real "loss" out there, just a b…

I reverted this due to impending billing changes, but Claude and most LLM providers to my knowledge do offer a way to directly fire a prompt to the LLM in a "headless" or non-interactive mode. Specifically "claude -p " is the way to do it with Claude Code. It allows for using the agent to do a one-off command with a given structured prompt. Originally Lathe would use this from the Go application to allow you to exten…
That's almost it, yes. But in my experience, to actually get where they're going quickly (as opposed to spending hours and hundreds of dollars stumbling around in the dark), coding agents generally need more interactive hand-holding than that. If you just fire off one non-interactive session and wait for it to come to a stop, the problem usually isn't fully+correctly solved at the point at the LLM decides to "finish.…
Isn't this simply having your mechanistic script call `claude "Prompt that is well honed to provide a mini, guided, 99%-of-the-time automated LLM action to $THE_THING"`? And, possibly including some `--allowed-tools`?
