hi frens! I published my Claude Code workflow system as a package called Kata! https://t.co/tVXhBRPoEo

This system integrates fully with CC's native task system, no beads (though its an amazing project) or other external task managers needed. Also, it relies heavily on hooks and has a pretty ingenious stop hook mechanism that is fully flexible and changes based on what mode you're in. The number and type of modes and individual mode instructions are fully customizable and the package has examples and a good set of starter modes.

I'll post more when I get a chance but the main reason i built this is because a lot of systems felt too heavy handed or black-boxy for my liking. Anyway check it out and let me know what you think!

@dexhorthy I remember on my jail broken phone 3g when I would use transparent squares to customize the icon layout

@pzakin Super cool! Been thinking a lot about this too

Hey y'all here's a live coding session walking through the architecture behind https://t.co/hinlPpcs7T — a system for running and streaming Claude Code sessions from remote/cloud environments as if they were local.

In this build I go deep on:

• Durable streaming — wrapping each session in a Bun runner that dials out to Cloudflare Durable Objects, so streams survive disconnects, reconnects, and buffering (decoupling the client from the raw agent process).

• The workflow system — deterministic, repeatable, verifiable flows using hooks, the rordi MCP (server-driven tasks/rules), and synced skills managed from one central place.

• Cloud agents — spinning up a full VPS per session via box from https://t.co/02d3epAo7g by @AniC_dev

• Cloud browsers — driving Chrome over the debugging protocol via Cloudflare's browser rendering API, with no local browser infra.

• A ToS-compliant credential broker — storing Claude Max credentials encrypted centrally and injecting them into each fresh box at session start.

• A ~60-second Cloudflare deploy pipeline for rapid iteration on cloud agents. Plus plenty of real debugging along the way — mid-turn durable stall recovery, transport-spine gaps, and the workflow engine not firing skills. Real, unpolished dev work.

Cool launch vid!

[Anicet @AniC_dev]

"why didn't you pay people to retweet your launch (like everyone does apparently), it only did 25k views!"

selling infra requires integrity, taste, repetition, trust and patience

this might seem like a relaunch with too little views, but actually views are not everything

in fact, it's our most successful launch yet!

here are a few numbers:

fo sure, 4x less views than initial launch that went viral because of the hook it had

fo sure, 10x less views on the comment with the CTA link inside

yet:

only 5x less clicks on CTA, so the CTA performed 2.2x better per view than last time

but even better: 2x more trials started than last time! with nearly nothing changed on landing

so on top of 2x better results, it performed 8x better per view than last time

and this video cost us <$3k to make, agencies charge upwards of $20k, once I even got offered $80k to get guaranteed 2M views

but views are a diminishing return thing

algos like the X algo are pretty good at knowing what you like, and if your post organically gets N views it often truly means order of N people care, others DON'T!

in my experience it's that. ads, influencers retweets, celebrity retweets, don't change much except how many views you get

as a founder you should chase truth, signal, not your ego

try box

Cloudflare durable objects and project Think are amazing but the state replay that reloads the entire convo on every connection isn't great

Trying to figure out how to mine my session and commit history for technical write ups. Gonna need a real workflow.

@JacobColling My count is low but I have some quality follows

I actually tried to use the Claude code artifacts thing and you have to log into Claude and you have to log into the exact same account so it's totally useless for me. I just told it to serve the HTML file over tail scale. When I finally got the output it had a bunch of corrupted characters.

[Ben Freed @ivebenfreed]

@acoyfellow Perfect framing. Already building this around cloudflare browser agents and r2 profile backup

[Ben Freed @ivebenfreed]

@mattzcarey @acoyfellow Artifacts is primitive of the year

[Ben Freed @ivebenfreed]

So few companies are actually shipping this way. Love to see this.

[Ben Freed @ivebenfreed]

@ryancarson This is amazing! What I would add is a durable structured contract over it with typed entities and relationship edges and expose that over mcp. That way, you can be even more hands off and have a better record of what shipped and why for future testing and maintenance.

[Ben Freed @ivebenfreed]

Sounds like Claude is tired

[Ben Freed @ivebenfreed]

@garrytan Hi

[Ben Freed @ivebenfreed]

@dillon_mulroy @threepointone That's too bad. For me, since I couldn't code before, it's an absolute thrill every day.
