YC's first-ever Paper Club: 1,000+ applied, ~100 got in.
The room had researchers with 10,000+ citations next to founders who'd raised $50m +
5 AI papers were presented, built on old ideas. Here's are the sharpest idea from each:
@t_blom .@T_blom Does that include ice fishing 🎣 houses on Lake of Woods at Minnesota-USA / Canadian border in January? Does StarLink internet access in ice fishing house count??? #BeenThereDoneThat 😉😅

A founder just apologized for dialing in to office hours from a car. It’s the sixth time he’s done this.
He spends close to 100% of his time meeting customers in unglamorous places a long way from San Francisco.
I wish more founders did this.

Claude Code ships with 5 architectural layers most engineers never open.
Not features. Not settings. Layers — each solving a distinct problem that LLMs alone can't solve. And four of them have nothing to do with prompting.
Here's the full Agent Development Kit:
Layer 1 — CLAUDE.md → The Memory Layer
Architecture rules, naming conventions, test expectations, repo map. Always loaded. Always active.
Two scopes:
• ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md → global
• .claude/CLAUDE.md → project
This isn't context you paste in before every session. It's context that never needs repeating. The agent's constitution.
Layer 2 — Skills → The Knowledge Layer
Each SKILL.md carries a description. Claude matches it at runtime and forks the skill into an isolated subagent. On-demand, never always-on.
Task-specific knowledge without inflating your main context window. Modular by design.
Layer 3 — Hooks → The Guardrail Layer
PreToolUse → PostToolUse → SessionStart → Stop → SubagentStop
This is the layer most teams skip. And the one they regret skipping first.
Hooks are NOT AI. They're deterministic event-driven shell commands.
• Auto-lint on every Write
• Hard-block on rm -rf
• Slack notification on Stop
Event fires → Matcher checks → Command runs
Quality enforced at the infrastructure level. Not the prompt level.
Layer 4 — Subagents → The Delegation Layer
Each subagent gets its own context window, model, tools, and permissions.
Main agent delegates down. Receives results up. That's it.
No infinite recursion — subagents can't spawn subagents. Main context stays clean. Hard boundaries by design.
Layer 5 — Plugins → The Distribution Layer
Bundle your skills + agents + hooks + commands into a plugin. One install. Whole team inherits the behavior.
Think npm packages — but for what your agent knows how to do.
Wrapping everything:
→ MCP Servers on the left (GitHub, databases, APIs, custom integrations)
→ Agent Teams on the right (parallel execution, message passing, shared permissions)
The 5-layer stack in one line:
CLAUDE.md sets rules → Skills provide expertise → Hooks enforce quality → Subagents delegate work → Plugins distribute to the team
Most production failures in agentic systems trace back to one missing layer.
Which one is the gap in your current setup?
