My Thoughts

I find it fascinating to see how others use modern AI tooling like Claude Code. The idea that you can configure your instructions well, almost like a well thought out onboarding, and then just get vastly better results and save tons of time is honestly not spoken about enough. I think the highest delta thing that can be done right now is optimising your Claude code or other agentic coding setup. Not just instructions, but also, custom commands, custom skills, off the shelf MCPs, custom MCPs where needed. This is a no brainer in terms of ROI.

I use a very specific prompt to push Claude to check its work and do a lot of testing and thinking about perf and refactoring. I find I can do big features (4K LOC+ with full testing) in about an hour.

Building an efficient Content Pipeline with Claude Code: From PRs to Blog Drafts

I built a system that scans my GitHub PRs weekly, identifies content-worthy work, and generates blog drafts automatically. I call the pattern Quasi-Claw. I built a system to solve a problem most developers share: doing interesting work every week but never writing about it. The pattern β€” slash commands + LaunchAgents + CLI execution β€” turns Claude Code into a lightweight scheduled agent without any heavy framework or infrastructure. Here is how it works: πŸ“… The Trigger: Every Friday at 5pm, a macOS LaunchAgent triggers Claude Code. πŸ” The Scan: It scans my GitHub repos and scores PRs/commits for "content potential." πŸ’¬ The Summary: It sends me a Slack digest of the week's best stories. πŸš€ The Execution: I run a single command to pick an idea, generate a full blog draft from the actual source code, and push it to my site’s API. The meta proof it works? This very post was identified and drafted by the system itself. #ClaudeCode #AI #BuildInPublic #Automation #SoftwareEngineering
