I’m not a Rust dev. Hell, I’m not an engineer at all. But I'm excited to ship BLZ—a CLI for caching and searching llms.txt docs in ~5-15ms on average. Think ripgrep, purpose-built for llms.txt docs—offline, deterministic, real fast.

What app has the best markdown reading/writing experience you’ve ever experienced in your entire life?

@maxkruger @AnthropicAI @claudeai Obsidian's chrome plugin as a "copy as markdown" in the drop down next to the main action button. Use it when on the specific Claude chat you want. Paste into Claude code. Does the trick!

Is there any easy way to transfer Claude chats to Claude code? Did some deep research on a new idea and want it to start coding. Doesn’t seem to be an easy way @AnthropicAI @claudeai

PDFs can be a tricky beast, and not all are created equal. Some have OCR built in, which can sometimes be a good thing, and sometimes bad. So far I haven't found a silver bullet solution but here are a few things I've had success with: 1. Claude is pretty good just uploading one, and asking it to turn it to markdown. Gemini I'd say is equally good (and faster). Try that first. 2. If OCR is built in, sometimes it's too quick to trust that output which may not always be accurate. You can ask an agent to write a script to split pages individually, and then read those singles. That can sometimes help match OCR content to image recognition. 3. Explicitly saying you want it to use an image model *and* read any embedded text if available is a reasonable backstop if the above doesn't work. 4. Build a sophisticated pipeline that does all of the above, and then sends the outputs to a "judge" agent to tell you which result is better and then accept that. This can be very reliable, and doesn't take a lot of coding. But it's the big guns, and most of the time you won't need it.

When working with multiple long, complex PDFs for a single project -- do people just upload directly to a frontier model or convert to Markdown first?

Well apparently I'm one of the 7%. Hit my limit earlier today in *one* hour unexpectedly. It was before this was announced so I was *very* confused. I toggle between Codex and Claude, but when I get into a groove with one I just stick with them. Guess I need to adjust.

If this could be made to work with @gitbutler or @graphite PR stacks holy moly that would be a crazy unlock.

@addison @kieranklaassen @GeoffreyHuntley @ryancarson @gregisenberg @syncthing Not super fun. Though fwiw at some point I just threw Claude at the problem (in the CLI and browser) and it hammered through. Now have it working on my three machines, plus my phone. Works like a dream.

@mg @kieranklaassen @GeoffreyHuntley @ryancarson @gregisenberg @syncthing I tried this a month ago, and wasn't in love with the setup process.

AI builders, what's the best way to sync skills over three different machines? (eg. MacStudio, Mac Mini, and MacbookPro) I've got ~100 skills I'm using globally. cc @kieranklaassen @GeoffreyHuntley @ryancarson @gregisenberg

@addison @kieranklaassen @GeoffreyHuntley @ryancarson @gregisenberg Get @syncthing running on all of your machines (can even work in remote machines/containers). Create a share that includes your `~/<user>/<harness>/skills/` directory (and others if you wish). Then let them sync and you're good to go!

@kieranklaassen @GeoffreyHuntley @ryancarson @gregisenberg If you haven't solved this, that makes me feel less dumb. Thanks for responding!!

It can definitely do a lot. For me, the app-specific window sizing was what I was after. Coupled with being able to set a single hotkey for all app-specific window sizing was killer. Then add the mouse button gesture and it was the trifecta. So with a press and hold on my scroll wheel, then cursor down (pull back), the windows always snap precisely to where I want them every time…specific to each app. That was my primary reason for using Rectangle Pro for a long time...and then Aerospace kind of took its place for most of the time. It's a different mode for sure, but I still use that old mouse gesture to this day when I go back to "floating" mode for certain apps with Aerospace.

@mg @dwr I think Rectangle is enough.

Best window management software for macOS? yabai? Amethyst? Magnet? Moom?

@zoink Yo heads up…was digging through the docs for this and right now the breadcrumbs in each doc aren't clickable. Makes navigation a little less easy. Awesome MCP stuff though!

Agents, meet the Figma canvas

@AndrewWarner @alexframegreen Appreciate that. It's so easy sometimes to miss stuff like this. When you're heads-down building stuff, eventually your eyes gloss over and you can just stop noticing things. Happens all the time. Sending in stuff like this doesn't take much time, but hopefully it helps!

@mg @alexframegreen Matt, I love your attention to details like that.

@alexframegreen Oh! And one other thing: I'd love to have a CLI and/or MCP interface so that my agents can also interact with Littlebird.

@alexframegreen This looks cool! Giving it a whirl. Quick bit of feedback though: you might consider aligning the meaning of the toggles in the privacy settings. "On" means something different in the apps vs. web context right now. It was a bit confusing to me at first.

@Shpigford Definitely not "release ready" by any means but I'll get that shored up this week.

@mg oooo nice. looking now.

how do people stay on top of issues, PRs and comments across multiple repos they manage on github? the inbox on github misses…nearly all of that? right now i just have to go manually check every repo which seems crazy.

@petergyang I built a "codex-pairing" skill which has all the codex exec flags, use cases, and patterns all packaged up. It has a wrapper script to handle session management, and prompting, etc. Then I just tell Claude to "pair with codex" to review code, brainstorm, etc. works great!

What is your preferred interface/process to switch between Claude and Codex? Composer? Cursor? Terminal?

@kevinrose Zed is the way to go. Ultra fast, customizable to fit your prefs, solid integrated terminal experience.

got a new laptop, setting things up, what IDE should I go with? was vscode, just want minimal + tmux

@dcbuilder @ShaneMac @lay2000lbs @Flynnjamm Still a few more things to do but github.com/galligan/xmtp-… is what I'm building. Meant to be a "batteries included" XMTP interface for agents that's secure by default. Only local builds atm but getting close!

@ShaneMac @lay2000lbs @Flynnjamm @mg very cool

the most underrated use case of x402/mpp is having agents participate in larger networks (ie. moltbook) rather than single player utility. would love to see more apps here

@Shpigford FWIW, the "last used" label is a pattern I've seen that's a pretty low-lift help. They should definitely add that.

screens like this are the perfect way to make me go away. 4 different login paths & i can't recall which one i used & for whatever reason it didn't save last in 1Password. i'll just bounce and go post about it on X before i go & try all 4. though...feature not a bug? 🤷‍♂️

Been fun to try to get it all figured out. Filed a few fix PRs along the way. I could certainly be wrong here but it seems like maybe the SDK is a fork of the official (hosted) Proof. You might consider flipping that, so that the hosted version consumes the SDK. This would mean the community could add fixes and features, and then you could pull them in to hosted. Of course, the hosted version could have things to contribute back to the SDK, or you could keep some things separate. Setting it up in this way though means you could benefit from community members fixing things up for you too.

@mg @kieranklaassen @every @CloudflareDev thank you sir!
