What's It Like to Be Back?

Every time I'd think to create a new agent, I'd stop cause it's better to just upgrade my one Pokemon, Flint. But while building a tool to help others launch agents, I had to test it and made like 20 agents (ID.md and SOUL.md files) back to back. One of them was "Mac" who ended up being modeled...

Claude Code Cheat Sheet

I've been walking a lot of people through setting up Claude Code lately. Many of them aren't developers. They're marketers, business people, content creators. Every time I do this, I find myself repeating the same advice. Open VS Code, open the terminal, type claude, here's how to skip the...

Why My AI Agent Feels Good to Talk To

My AI agent, Flint, has "an eerily good sense of when to respond" in Slack. Here are 3 parts of the code that help: 1. Slow decay on how often he checks in on threads he watches. 2. Realizing when the conversation is not about him. 3. Using "transactional analysis" to understand his role in the...

Giving Claude Code a Memory (and a Soul) with AutoMem

This post is going to age like milk. That’s the nature of posts about AI workflows these days. Things are changing so fast. As a snapshot in time, and to help folks trying to experience the wonder that is a CLI-based coding agent with advanced memory, here is my current setup which I have running...

On the 2024 US Elections

Most votes are in. Trump is the projected winner. Still, I hope Harris and her team are ready to keep fighting. You cannot trust whatever “calls” the media has made. The winners are the people who get the most votes, so count the votes. Recount the votes. This election is too important to give up...
