karpathy said it best - most people paying for claude aren't actually using claude. they're typing prompts into a $20/mo chatbox meanwhile claude code ships with built-in features that replace 90% of plugins people install and nobody knows they exist i had 23 plugins. deleted all of them. my sessions got 3x longer and my outputs got sharper watch the video then read the full breakdown below - you'll probably uninstall half your setup by tonight

@regent0x_ I have asked myself the same question. When I entered the Claude Code bandwagon frenzy I jumped right ahead and installed superpowers plugin - now I realize it is circa 20% of my weekly skill usage, and wonder how would be Claude Code behavior/perf without "Superpowers". 🤔

@regent0x_ Thanks for the insight, 1 think I'd like to point out, this video is old, please guys stop spreading old videos, AI is not the same after December of 2025, even Andre is admitting it, agents are becoming so much better

@regent0x_ People need to adapt to not installing plugins. How do you know everything Claude can do when it’s built-in? Having to install things served a dual purpose of knowing what the hell you were using at at any given time, and being intentional about it.

@regent0x_ The heavier the lift the more the drift. Skills can kill. All you need is a good Claude.md file

@regent0x_ the built-in slash commands alone cover most of what third-party plugins were doing. /clear, /context, /model already handle 80% of it. plugin ecosystem grew because the docs were sparse, not because the features didn't exist.

@regent0x_ I'll just uninstall Claude and start using Hermes with API models more, that's my plan.

@regent0x_ Bro writes micro gpts, do you realise they were around in the 60s, I think everyone is swept up in the hype, Imagine having access to everything, then going to work for anthropic rather than create something original, he's the original copy paste king.

@regent0x_ The autocomplete is where you actually start to see the magic, don’t get the same burnout, and maintain a huge amount of control over what’s being written. In the same way that vibe coding just feels a little icky, copilot feels great

@regent0x_ 23 plugins is the exact moment you realize you stopped using the tool and started managing the tool. the best sessions I have are always the ones with nothing between me and the model.

@regent0x_ /context made it click. /review replaced one plugin, /loop another. Deleted the rest because they were adding cruft not value

@regent0x_ Same analogy with WordPress plugins. In its time, WordPress allowed people to make blogs. Not everyone became a blogger…

@regent0x_ wtf you talking about? Karpathy basically said models are useless of any type of real coding. Did you even watch the video before you posted this auto generated bs?

@regent0x_ Bro is just dropping the absolute “basic” stuff enterprise and high agency developers are already using from so long and still gets hyped 😅

Most people pay $20/mo for Claude then immediately bury it under 15 plugins and wonder why everything feels slow and messy. I did the same thing until I deleted almost everything and started building proper custom Claude Skills instead. Sessions got way longer and cleaner — exactly like you said. Now my whole UGC video factory (product URL → script → locked Seedance 2.0 output) runs on native + a few tight custom skills instead of plugin soup. The plugin addiction is real.

@regent0x_ yeah this hits. most people are paying for the *idea* of productivity, not actual productivity. claude code just works without the theater of finding the perfect plugin. shipping fast beats optimizing your toolbar.

@regent0x_ The real plugin is your CLAUDE.md file. One constraint config that shapes every interaction beats 23 plugins adding latency and conflicting with each other. Config-as-code scales. Plugin ecosystems rot. Delete them all, keep the one file that actually compounds.

@regent0x_ most people are building ai workflows like its still 2023 50 plugins 12 tabs 7 wrappers one good system prompt would replace half of it

@regent0x_ @grok summarize the video itself

@regent0x_ ビデオを見て、設定の半分を今夜アンインストールするかもしれません。 本当に効果的なものです。 知られざる機能をご覧ください。

@regent0x_ I went through the same thing. Deleted a ton of plugins. Sessions got longer, cleaner, and sharper. The native commands + proper context handling do way more than people realize. The plugin tax is real. Master what’s already there first.

@regent0x_ unf people pay $20/mo for claude then bury it under tools

@regent0x_ Most people are paying for complexity they installed themselves. The best setup is usually the default one.

@regent0x_ to be good at AI you need only this article and this video no more plugins neede

@regent0x_ the whole world goes Ai-crazy, planet is lost. all waiting for first useful AI-Outputs. But as prohability grows, there will never be an useful AI-output, brains are disabled, power usage heats up our unique planet,antichrist could help, but is forbidden by trump Administration😑

@regent0x_ 헉 나도 플러그인 잔뜩인데 지워야되나 고민되네~~

@regent0x_ What do you think about Superpowers, OpenSpec?

@regent0x_ Agreed. Plugin or skill for this, MCP for that... mostly noise. Just talk to it in focused iterations.

@regent0x_ Thought I needed more plugins. Turns out
I just didn’t understand Claude properly yet. Deleted half my setup
and somehow got better results.

@regent0x_ Uh how else will it read my notion?

@regent0x_ thats great advice

@regent0x_ outdated post

@regent0x_ He is the game changer.

@regent0x_ Lost me at 200k context

Stock up today!

@regent0x_ True. Most just want the chatbox. I'm building AI tools for video automation. The real magic is in custom integrations, not general plugins. Had to learn that the hard way.

@regent0x_ 素晴らしい記事です！本当に心に響きます。ありがとう！
