Claude Tag is a Trojan horse. Not because Anthropic is doing anything evil. Because the incentives are obvious.
Day one, this looks like a great feature: tag Claude in Slack, let it follow the thread, remember context, connect to tools, break down tasks, chase work, and act like a teammate.
But that is exactly the problem. The moment your AI vendor becomes a shared coworker, it stops being just a model provider. It starts becoming the place where work is interpreted, remembered, routed, and eventually executed.
That is not model lock-in. That is context lock-in. You are now renting your company back from them.
Models can be swapped. Agents can be copied. But the memory of how your company actually works is much harder, maybe impossible, to move: the Slack scar tissue, the exception paths, the customer promises, the unfinished threads, the weird workflows, the implicit owners, the “we tried that in Q2 and it failed” knowledge.
Once that lives inside one vendor’s agent layer, you are not renting intelligence anymore. You are renting your company’s operating memory.
And the pricing model makes it even more dangerous. A human coworker has a salary. Claude has unbounded tokenized activity. The more work moves through it, the more the vendor captures not just IT spend, but labor spend.
This is the enterprise bargain people will regret: Convenience now, and rapid decent into dependency.
The right architecture is simple: rent the best intelligence from whoever is best this month. OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, open source, whatever. But own the context layer.
Your company memory should be inspectable, permissioned, portable, and model-neutral. It should not be buried inside the same vendor that sells you the intelligence and the workflow surface.
Claude Tag is useful. That is why it is dangerous. Rent the intelligence, but own the context. Or, regret later.
Obviously I’m biased, I built it for me. But it’s become a tool I can’t work without, so figured I’d share.

Reply and I’ll send my tmux config plus the Claude hook for wiring resume commands into Portal.
If you use Claude Code, you probably want Portal.
It’s how I run the same Claude sessions across MacBook, iPad and iPhone, and how they survive a system restart without missing a beat.
Just shipped 0.8.0: full redesign, theming system coming soon.

Fast open + grouping.
Jump straight to a project by path, alias or zoxide. Flip the list between flat, by project and by tag with one key. Tags live on directories, so every session opened there inherits them.
Essentially what has happened is that the decaying political establishment has imported millions of migrants from alien cultures that are entirely incompatible with the British way of life.
Those migrants have colonised large parts of our country, and live their lives how they choose to do so because our authorities are too frightened of being called racist to challenge them.
That has meant attitudes have flourished and spread which, in short, treat women and non-Muslims like shit.
And yes, I do mean that.
Conservative, Labour and Reform politicians are all directly responsible for this vast importation. Personally, I will never forgive anyone responsible.
Vulnerable working class white girls were treated like a piece of meat. Raped, abused, tortured, murdered. It was a racial attack, and it was a coordinated attack. All across Britain.
They targeted these girls because they were vulnerable, they were young, they were white.
Until the political class accepts that fact, nothing will EVER change.
These men do not live by the same rules as us - it is all beyond evil. And this is a coordinated network of organised crime right across the country. It is not random groups of scumbags doing this. It is a network. Organised. Ruthless. Efficient. It is an industry.
This is not homegrown. We imported it. We welcomed it. Embraced it. We continue to do so.
That was a choice.
Reversing it is also a choice. One we will make.
A Restore Britain Government will remove millions of foreign nationals who hate our way of life and have no reason to be in our country. Gone, and never allowed back.
With the British people’s approval, we will reintroduce the death penalty.
If a Pakistani man has been gang-raping a young English girl? Torturing her? Passing her around his brothers to also be raped?
We will put him to death. And I look forward to that. I really do.
Our report has outlined exact recommendations on what needs to be done to eradicate this cancer.
A Restore Britain Government will deliver it.
We will use the full force of the British state to crack down on these rapists and their enablers in the most brutal fashion imaginable. It will be swift and ruthless. It will be done, finally.
And I include their enablers in that.
That is why Farage tried to put me in prison. Because I wanted to deport complicit foreign family members. He found that so very extreme - admitting it on national television. Simply remarkable.
Hearing the evidence and testimonies provided to our inquiry, I can assure you that I am holding a moderate position.
I want the scumbags gone. Deported. Never allowed back.
For the very worst among them, I want them permanently removed.
Restore Britain will get called extreme, racist, islamophobic and whatever else by the Guardian, Farage, Nadine Dorries, the BBC, the Daily Mail, Zack Polanski.
I do not give a shit.
I am just grateful that there is finally a political party with the courage to do what needs to be done.
We are going to get our country back.
We are going to Restore Britain.
@mattshumer_ I also configure a global Claude hook to set resume hooks using Portal. So that when I restart tmux / the Mac all my active Claude sessions auto resume in portal.
Also has quick preview from session list using space bar.
Check it out!
@DanBochman Explaining what you want for 5 mins will cause any model to guess the spec. Appreciate this is a joke but I see so many people do this. We give the models too much leg room and then complain when they guess the 95% we have told them.
The cure 😜:

I strongly believe there are entire companies right now under heavy AI psychosis and its impossible to have rational conversations about it with them. I can't name any specific people because they include personal friends I deeply respect, but I worry about how this plays out.
I lived through the great MTBF vs MTTR (mean-time-between-failure vs. mean-time-to-recovery) reckoning of infrastructure during the transition to cloud and cloud automation. All those arguments are rearing their ugly heads again but now its... the whole software development industry (maybe the whole world, really).
It's frightening, because the psychosis folks operate under an almost absolute "MTTR is all you need" mentality: "its fine to ship bugs because the agents will fix them so quickly and at a scale humans can't do!" We learned in infrastructure that MTTR is great but you can't yeet resilient systems entirely.
The main issue is I don't even know how to bring this up to people I know personally, because bringing this topic up leads to immediately dismissals like "no no, it has full test coverage" or "bug reports are going down" or something, which just don't paint the whole picture.
We already learned this lesson once in infrastructure: you can automate yourself into a very resilient catastrophe machine. Systems can appear healthy by local metrics while globally becoming incomprehensible. Bug reports can go down while latent risk explodes. Test coverage can rise while semantic understanding falls. Changes happens so fast that nobody notices the underlying architecture decaying.
I worry.
