🚨 Anthropic just open-sourced the exact Skills library their own engineers use internally.
Stop building Claude workflows from scratch.
These are plug-and-play components that work across Claude Code, API, SDK, and VS Code copy once, deploy everywhere.
What's inside:
→ Excel + PowerPoint generation out of the box
→ File handling and document workflows
→ MCP-ready subagent building blocks
→ Pre-built patterns for multi-step automation
→ Production templates you'd normally spend weeks writing
The old way: re-explain your workflow every single chat.
The new way: build a Skill once, Claude never forgets how you work.
100% Open Source. Official Anthropic release.

Code → Context. Enter the CDLC (Context Development Lifecycle). I wrote up my thoughts on where this is going and the parallels with what we learned from DevOps.

## Token Efficiency
- Never re-read files you just wrote or edited. You know the contents.
- Never re-run commands to "verify" unless the outcome was uncertain.
- Don't echo back large blocks of code or file contents unless asked.
- Batch related edits into single operations. Don't make 5 edits when 1 handles it.
- Skip confirmations like "I'll continue..." Lust do it.
- If a task needs 1 tool call, don't use 3. Plan before acting.
- Do not summarize what you just did unless the result is ambiguous or you need additional input.
Being an experienced dev and having access to the frontier AI models allows you to iterate on your own custom software much faster than ever before.
This is a custom dashboard "kit" on top of Mantine UI that is them-able.
Sidebar layout and navigation is all config driven.

v1.2.0 of opencode includes our migration to sqlite - if anything goes wrong don't worry, your original data is not yet deleted
you can clear out `opencode.db*` files in %APPDATA% or ~/.local/share/opencode folder and it'll rerun
this paves the way to a lot of cool features!
I dont want to have to keep thinking about which models to use while im developing. It's poor user experience. I just want to use a coding model without having to worry about if Im using the right version of that model
Introducing GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark, our ultra-fast model purpose built for real-time coding.
We’re rolling it out as a research preview for ChatGPT Pro users in the Codex app, Codex CLI, and IDE extension.
This is a HUGE win for developers.
Claude Code is excellent, but the $200/mo Max plan can be expensive for daily use.
GLM-5 works inside Claude Code, with (arguably) comparable performance at ~1/3 the cost.
Setup takes ~1 minute:
• Install Claude Code as usual
• Run `npx @z-ai/coding-helper` and follow the steps
One caveat: switching Claude Code back to Anthropic is a bit cumbersome today (would be nice if the helper tool supported this).
For now you'll need to switch back manually:
1. Open ~/.claude/settings.json
You’ll see something like:
"env": {
"ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN": "your_zai_api_key",
"ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL": "https://t.co/IQMv8HyBX3",
"API_TIMEOUT_MS": "3000000"
}
2. Remove at least:
• ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN
• ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL
Either way, this is a big win��and price/performance in coding tools is indeed moving fast!
Update: Between 15:35 and 18:45 PT today, we were overflagging for potentially suspicious activity. We estimate 9% of users were impacted.
We fixed the issue at 18:45 PT and are working to prevent this overflagging going forward.
