If you’ve switched to Opus 5.5 but still have a bunch of unused Codex resets, here’s how I’ve been using mine.

I let Opus orchestrate Codex through Herdr, T3, Hermes, OpenClaw, whatever works. I also added instructions to my personal CLAUDE.md telling Opus to hand off backend work and bug fixes to Codex, while keeping the creative work and anything involving design or aesthetics for itself.

The trick is making sure Opus gives Codex really specific instructions, because I’ve found that vague requests don’t work nearly as well. I also require Opus to visually verify the results and, if something is wrong, tell Codex exactly what to fix rather than taking over, although sometimes Opus does need to step in and handle things itself when Codex just isn’t getting it.

I still get the creative judgment I like from Opus, my Claude usage goes further, and those Codex resets aren’t going to waste.

Holy sh*t, someone just open-sourced the complete motion design stack for Claude Opus 5.5, and I am going to tell you about the best repositories that nobody is talking about

How does this work:

3b1b/manim - 65,400+ stars

The mathematical animation engine behind 3Blue1Brown. It enables Opus 5.5 to write programmatic, frame-perfect 2D scenes and dynamic diagrams directly in Python without visual template drift

https://t.co/rIg01m4Kjz

microsoft/playwright - 66,200+ stars

Headless browser automation framework that forms the capture backbone. Enables Opus 5.5 to orchestrate Chromium frame-by-frame at deterministic 60 FPS under a seek(t) harness

https://t.co/L9LJp33Rbd

juliangarnier/anime - 48,500+ stars

A lightweight JavaScript animation engine with complex sequencing and SVG path morphing. Opus 5.5 uses it to write mathematical easing curves and layered micro-interactions directly into canvas

https://t.co/F2re96YRuQ

pixijs/pixijs - 43,200+ stars

The fastest 2D WebGL rendering engine for the web. Provides hardware-accelerated canvas pipelines so Opus 5.5 can generate particle systems, complex shader transitions, and UI motion at native refresh rates

https://t.co/bK2VOynazV

WERE BRINGING CODEX COMPUTER USE TO HERMES.

If you haven’t used codex computer use yet, it’s 2-4x faster and cheaper than regular browser control.

And we’re reverse engineering it for Hermes…

We'll be spending a lot more time trying to understand the outputs of language models. A few thoughts, tips & tricks:

Writing. Something I've had success with: Ask your LLM to explain something in ASD-STE100, it's a controlled language specification originally developed for aerospace maintenance documentation. LLMs well-versed in this language and it comes with heavy constraints on clean writing style that I often find a lot more readable. Sometimes I've tried to soften it a bit e.g. ask for "80% of the way to ASD-STE100" because the spec is quite stringent. But even better:

Diagrams / images. Instead of writing, ask your LLM to create a diagram. These can be a lot easier to process, parse, and understand. But even better:

Web pages. Ask for output "in HTML" to get a beautiful, interactive webpage. LLMs are getting really good at frontend and can create beautiful experiences, animations, etc. But even better:

Explainer videos. The output format I am most bullish on is fully custom / bespoke explainer videos generated on any arbitrary topic. Experiment with things like "Create a 3b1b style video explainer on X. Use my ElevenLabs API key for audio narration". (you'd need an API key for the latter or you can ask your LLM to find you decent free alternatives that use your local compute). This is actually starting to work!

In summary:
- As LLMs get better, they will do more and more of the legwork autonomously, and a lot more of our work will rise up the abstractions into oversight and understanding.
- Luckily, LLMs can help here too because as intelligence and code are increasingly abundant, you can ask for large, custom, discardable software artifacts (e.g. web apps, video explainers) that would have never made sense to create before. Push the boundaries here and you'll be surprised.

I'm BEGGING you to look up what YouTube pays per 1,000 views in different niches before you pick what to make videos about

This is the single most important number in the entire YouTube business model and almost nobody checks it before starting

Entertainment: $2-4
Gaming: $3-5
Vlogs: $4-6
Reactions: $3-5

Now look at the niches nobody wants:

Medicare supplements: $44
Estate planning: $38
Commercial insurance: $35
Business tax strategy: $32
HVAC repair: $28
Assisted living: $26
Septic and well water: $24
Farm equipment: $22

That's not a typo. $44 per thousand views vs $3 per thousand views. The exact same platform. The exact same algorithm. The exact same upload button

A gaming channel needs 1,000,000 views to make $3,000

A Medicare channel needs 68,000 views to make $3,000

And the Medicare channel has maybe 12 competitors in the entire United States while the gaming channel has 45,000

But this is where it gets stupid:

The $44 CPM is just the ad money. The viewers in these niches are about to spend $5,000-$200,000 on the thing you're explaining to them. The ad revenue is a tip. The real money is what happens after they watch

A roofer with 3,000 subscribers who answers "how much does a new roof cost" gets calls from homeowners about to spend $14,000. Every video is a free sales rep that works at 3am

A financial advisor with 5,000 subscribers who answers "should I do a Roth conversion" gets appointments from retirees managing $400,000+ portfolios. One client is worth $5,000-$15,000 a year in advisory fees

An HVAC company with 2,000 subscribers who answers "heat pump vs furnace" gets calls from homeowners about to spend $8,000-$15,000. Those viewers aren't subscribing to an HVAC channel. They're panicking because their furnace died in January and they need someone who knows what they're talking about

The leads close at 2-3x the rate of ad leads because the buyer watched you explain their exact problem for 15 minutes before they called. The trust was built before the conversation started

How to find these niches yourself in 10 minutes:

1 → Open Google Keyword Planner (free with a Google Ads account you never have to fund). Type any service. Sort by "Top of page bid - high range." That column shows what advertisers pay per click. $50-200 per click = that niche pays $20-44 CPM on YouTube. The correlation is almost perfect

2 → Search that topic on YouTube. Count how many serious channels answer it. If there are fewer than 15, you have almost no competition for an audience advertisers are paying $50-200 a click to reach on Google

3 → Check the comments on the few channels that exist. Every question asked is a video idea nobody made yet. Every complaint is a positioning opportunity

The uglier the niche sounds the emptier it is and the higher it pays. This has been true for 8 years straight and nobody talks about it because making videos about septic systems and Medicare won't get you likes in a group chat

I build channels in these niches. The ones that sound like pamphlets in a doctor's waiting room. Because that's where the checks clear

Finally found my ideal remote agent setup.

Hetzner + Ocra

Orca runs on my laptop, iOS and Hetzner server.

I can start a project at home and continue in the go, without being afraid it breaks anything.

All are connected via Tailscale so the server is secure + can serve me preview builds no matter where I am.

I’m building a wrapper around it now that gives me a kanban task board and many more learnings from my previous AgentOS.

Fun!

use e2e alongside @poteto's verification skill and you have a reliable workflow for mobile development.

the only drawback of developing a feature using pstack was the verification was pretty much unit testing,

I had to setup and create a whole maestro flows to test the mobile apps, but it was not practical, it took long time

i have tried @agent_device @swmansion's agrent (alongside with @appandflow's stim), and it was great but I felt like (agent-device and argent are basically for development maybe I'm mistaken) but just tested out e2e alongside pstack and that's what verification skill expected.

still trying to figure out the most effiecent way around the agentic workflow, but it's already looking promising

- pstack for nearly everything
- stim for orchestrating and warmup sims
- @agent_device mostly for querying the simulator
- argent for querying and mutating the sim (found it to be a little bit faster from @agent_device
- e2e to make sure that the feature just works
