@Peter_Soida Chatting with agents is overrated. Bare Claude makes abstracting agent as a reusable software development primitive convenient. Run common agentic operations from command line with presets. Save time and tokens with synthetic sessions. Compose work processes, not spam "continue".
Added support for configuration presets to the Bare Claude.
Now 97% less command line arguments are needed.
In the video: Bare Claude writes its own CHANGELOG.md entry.
AI assistant chats are getting annoying.
Introducing Bare Claude: a wrapper to run Claude Code in bare headless non-interactive mode, reducing context consumption.
Supports alternate model providers like Ollama. Optionally synthesises session files with file reads.
@tomhacks Did you try CLAUDE_CODE_SIMPLE=1 without --bare? https://t.co/Bjuw2HMxTp
There are also finer control knobs strewn all over the docs, e.g. CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_CLAUDE_MDS=1, --system-prompt-file, etc.
@mattpocockuk@0xblacklight Mine never gets ignored, because I don't do https://t.co/lL92j3EH3g. Instead I just slap it in with --append-system-prompt-file flag. 😈
Just one of those undocumented gems. 💎
When you see Claude Code finishing the task close to the context window limit, ask it which shortcuts it took to fit. It will give you a list of fixes for the next session.
Discovered that Codex CLI silently truncates https://t.co/62fhxLjK2L to first 32KB. Poor thing was working with 20% of policies all this time. That explains a lot, and is actually a testament to how sane the model is --- it did rather well.
A toy example for non-agentic LLM use in the software development. Using function calling to give AI a "form to fill": to determine role, standard, methodology and file set for the task — and then to execute the task itself. Works with Google's free Gemini Flash.
