@dashersw @openservai Been trying to move reasoning out of prose and into structure: state machines, scoped actions, verification. This made this clearer for me. Small, fast coding models get better when the structure does more of the thinking.

@vincentdesmet btw i see two more projects visible to me: open-constructs/cdk-terrain, specledger/bot. you might want to look into if it's a leak

[Yekta Gurel @gulp]

@vincentdesmet i'd like to play around with specledger wondering a way to import .beads/issues.jsonl

[Yekta Gurel @gulp]

@vincentdesmet thanks i'll check that. probably it didn't import closed issues.

@doodlestein sounds like time to upgrade to ntm

@doodlestein Do you like your sessions warm over ralph loops? Playing with your recursive improvement tricks in my poor man's flywheel: main loop watches jsonl transcripts (kinda cass) and change PROMPT.md powered by JFP to fix tool calls or instructions clankers miss. https://t.co/pX4XDoyhEq

put together a site documenting @doodlestein's planning methodology for coding agents

the part most people skip: how to build the plan that agents actually execute from

phases, prompts, references all in one place

@voidserf built an interactive playbook site based on your guide + @doodlestein's methodology

phases, prompts, quick reference

In 2008, @jasonfried explained why they skip Photoshop.

Claude Code sessions are ephemeral by default.
I wanted mine to stick around.

Built a tool to capture them, a site to show them off.

Everyone’s racing to generate screens with AI.
I’m going the other way:
— No UI first
— No canvas vibes
— Just raw behavior, turned into frames + flows

Two prototypes in. Design starts with structure.

[Yekta Gurel @gulp]

Variables, collections, modes, expressions are old hat.
AI can spit out prototypes in seconds.
Is that progress—or just complexity in a nicer wrapper?
Real design demands distillation.

I’ve rebooted my site with a new focus: designing from the text up.

If you want to be disruptive, however, you will need to apply design and abductive thinking.

Innovation isn’t about improving what is, it’s about creating what should be.
