@CasJam @Shpigford Fast, CLI focused, custom commands, GitHub integrations, worktrees from branches/prs/forks etc

If you don't like the CLIs it has a chat gui mode too you switch between mid session. Really nice

@CasJam @Shpigford Superconductor (I know, I know) has been really good for me. Surprised I never hear more about it.

Just realised - instead of bloating context with rules that get ignored, Claude can write custom linter rules that enforce my preferences.

e.g. a Rubocop cop requiring resourceful controllers (index, new, create, etc only)

TIL you can use !`command` in Claude skills and it'll inject the output into the context automatically.

Its done before its sent, so Claude gets the data not the command.

@Shpigford Opus 4.5 was peak for me. Gone but never forgotten

@aarondfrancis This man will do anything but add worktrees!

(Looks great btw)

@d4m1n Nothing more permanent than a temporary fix

@marcelpociot This is great and one of my favourite features in Codex

[Mark Hesketh @markahesketh]

@wesbos Yesssssss

[Mark Hesketh @markahesketh]

An interesting thing we're trying at work is introducing Cucumber / BDD into a modern Rails app.

Claude can write specs from meetings transcripts, and future Claude can read them for quick context.

[Mark Hesketh @markahesketh]

Claude has an official Ruby LSP now you can install via `/plugin`

[Mark Hesketh @markahesketh]

Oh wow (heh) I know what I'm listening to tomorrow

At work we do Shape Up, use Basecamp and are ramping up on harness engineering.

This new Basecamp CLI is timely!

Hang on is OpenAI blocking my mate Claude? 😠

[Here's What I Reckon: @angryaboutbikes]

Conspiracy theory: this isn't the launch of a new feature, it's the soft launch of accurate pricing for Claude, and Anthropic are testing the waters to see when the time is right to drop the full bombshell.
