This is going to save me hours and help clear up my inbox...

Step 1 : Tell your agent to setup an inbox - I use Hermes from @NousResearch and @agentmail for my agent inbox.

Step 2 : in your personal inbox, setup rules for all newsletters you are currently subscribed to. Forward them to your agent inbox and delete. (you can do this in gmail by creating filters)

Step 3 : Tell your agent to check their inbox daily. It must extract relevant info that relates to your business; create research tasks for topics that require a deep dive; and then email you a summary if it found anything useful; then delete it;

To make it smarter, you obviously need your agent to understand your interests and your business.

And your agent needs a task system. My Hermes uses the built in kanban board.

Research tasks are picked up by another agent with certain tools and skills.

Tip : only let it create research tasks that will drive your business goals forward.

Gonna give this a go on some of my repos

Oh this is SOOO sick: (by 0xUmbra)

The Fresh-Clone Loop --

Clone the repository into a clean, empty environment with nothing preinstalled, then follow the README exactly as written to get the project running. Every time a step fails, is missing, or quietly assumes something the README never states, record the gap, fix the setup or documentation to remove that assumption, discard the environment, and start again from a fresh clone. Do not carry dependencies, configuration, credentials, or manual fixes from one attempt into the next. Keep a short log of each gap and how you closed it so it does not return. Stop when a brand-new environment goes from clone to running app in one uninterrupted pass using only the documented steps and no outside fix. Finish with the gaps closed and the exact commands a new contributor now runs from scratch.

@rmelogli @BillErickson I think you should vibe code a slack plugin for wordpress 🤣

Hey @photomatt, could you please authorize or "bless" this to happen? https://t.co/ZgPnw3RTCb

Plugin authors are literally the reason #WordPress has become what it is. We're just asking for data, and we can make it private to each commiter.

Make this happen, please.

[Brad Vincent @bradvin]

@alanefuller very nice! I see it has some good concepts in there. What does "make-safe" do? I am thinking turn off external http traffic, disable mails, etc?

[Brad Vincent @bradvin]

I love the simplicity of downloading a whole WP site backup locally, then working on it with an LLM locally which has full db and file system access. Then creating a backup and restoring that to live once I’m happy with the changes. I currently host my local sites using localWP. Fable, help me create a design for an automated workflow or process or end to end system to do this without the hassle. Make no mistakes.

[Brad Vincent @bradvin]

@JamesWelbes Haha go for it! I tried the GitHub push and pull and got it working, but it’s still too disjointed for me, and there is the risk of config drift, so you get the “well, it works for me locally” problem. I want to vibe locally and push it all live

[Brad Vincent @bradvin]

@KatieKeithBarn2 some would argue they are here already - I already think of my Hermes agent as an employee, then there are packaged offerings like getviktor or @getpancake_ai

[Brad Vincent @bradvin]

genius level

Get paid to wait

The Claude Code spinner might be the most watched line on Earth.

So I turned it into an ad marketplace.

Advertisers bid on it. You keep 50% of the money.

Install the extension → get cash from ads.

@jamesckemp looks really awesome - I love the "open canvas" vibe

[Brad Vincent @bradvin]

@rwkyyy @jeffr0 @jamesckemp it exposes WP abilities which any MCP can call

[Brad Vincent @bradvin]

@PineDigitalCo @sebd86

[Brad Vincent @bradvin]

They must already have some form of analytics. Why not just expose stats filtered to the plugin you own? Page views, clicks, referrers, search terms, etc would be great to see.

Somebody has access to this data and is using it to their advantage, just not the plugin authors who are actually driving traffic to .org

[Brad Vincent @bradvin]

@KatieKeithBarn2 Def helpful, esp if we couldn’t make the conf

[David Pérez @davidperezmk]

🧵 At #WCEU in Kraków, @frantorres and I gave a 75-min talk on how to get your plugin ready for the WordPress org directory.
Here's what we covered — and the real security nightmares we showed on stage. 👇

[Brad Vincent @bradvin]

I finally changed my handle to @bradvin from @themergency

I didnt know you can just edit your handle. I owned both accounts, so I just edited them both quickly and the swap is now complete

[Brad Vincent @bradvin]

I have a lot of skills that output HTML reports on schedules. You can only view these remotely if they are “deployed”.

I took an output from one of my agents and pointed it to your service and told it to send me a link. It could not register on your site to do what I asked.

It needs something similar to auth .md from workOS, to allow agents to signup and create the shareable links like a human would.

A similar tool that can do it is gui .new but seems to struggle with performance issues sometimes

[Brad Vincent @bradvin]

Come on people - get with the program already!

[Peter Steinberger 🦞 @steipete]

Here’s your monthly reminder that you shouldn’t be prompting coding agents anymore.

You should be designing loops that prompt your agents.
