Full-Stack developer living in Texas. I build apps.

[Michael Thomson @michaelsapps]

Built a simple tool that uses Claude to turn CSV data into SKILL.md documentation. Drop CSVs into a folder, and it automatically analyzes the data and generates structured Markdown. Quick, simple project documentation. #ClaudeAI #DevTools #Markdown #Coding

Start by creating a directory for your project summary. Use mkdir to create the folder, avoid spaces in the name, then cd into it. Simple setup, cleaner project organization. #DevTips #CLI #ProjectSetup #Coding #Developer #SoftwareDevelopment

Generate branded HTML reports from structured data using an LLM agent. We created a skill.md file to define the workflow: analyze the data, apply design principles, and generate the final report. #LLM #AgenticWorkflow #HTMLReport #Coding #AI #Automation

[Michael Thomson @michaelsapps]

Instead of hiring a designer, we used AI to create a brand guide, then built a Claude skill that turns local files into branded HTML reports. ChatGPT creates the initial prompt, Claude processes the files. #AI #ClaudeAI #Automation #DevTools #Coding

Building custom AI skills for Claude is easier than you think. This example breaks down the structure: description, title, and rendering instructions. Follow the same format to create your own custom skills. #ClaudeAI #CustomSkills #AI #Automation #Developers

Before coding, verify Claude Code is installed. Type claude in your terminal and check the response. If it isn't recognized, install it first. Then we'll head into the .claude directory and build a new skill. #ClaudeAI #DeveloperTools #Coding #Terminal #AI

[Michael Thomson @michaelsapps]

We're building an AI skill that summarizes directories into a branded report. Define the skill's name, description, and instructions, save it as a .md file, and Claude has everything it needs to process data and generate reports. #AI #LLM #ClaudeAI #Automation #DevTools #Coding

[Michael Thomson @michaelsapps]

Build CLIs with Claude in 2 minutes. Get your terminal ready, start a fresh instance, and you're good to go. Simple setup for quick development. #ClaudeAI #CLI #DeveloperTools #Coding #AI #Automation #SoftwareDevelopment #Productivity #DevTips #Shopify

[Michael Thomson @michaelsapps]

Running Claude locally in your terminal is surprisingly straightforward. Just open your project folder, use the /directory_data_summary command, and let Claude inspect your data. It's about making local AI work with your existing workflow. #LocalAI #Claude #DevTools #Terminal

[Michael Thomson @michaelsapps]

Built a skill that auto-generates branded HTML reports from folder contents. Give it a few minutes and get company branding, colors, charts, and a polished report—without complex prompting. A simple way to automate reporting. #Automation #DevTools #Coding #AI #Python

[Michael Thomson @michaelsapps]

Built a Claude skill that turns a directory into a branded HTML summary. Give it your brand guide + folder contents, and it quickly digests project data and documentation. A simple way to turn messy files into something useful. #ClaudeAI #Automation #DevTools #AICoding

[Michael Thomson @michaelsapps]

Quickly create project summaries with Claude Code. Build a skill that uses your brand guide + folder contents to generate an HTML summary. ChatGPT creates the guide, Claude handles the files. Practical tools, not just AI talk. #ClaudeAI #DeveloperTools #Automation #Coding

This quick demo shows how to set up a new project with an API key. Just copy-paste your key, add dependencies, and it spins up a full project. We verified the account and signed in, then selected or created a project. #DevSetup #ProjectManagement

[Michael Thomson @michaelsapps]

Just set up Copilot Kit connected to Anthropic. It loads weights quickly and responds in seconds. This demo runs through the cloud, showing real-time AI integration for developers. #CopilotKit #AI #Cloud #Anthropic #DevTools #SaaS #LLM #Coding

[Michael Thomson @michaelsapps]

Got an agentic app ready to go. #devops #softwaredevelopment #coding #webdev

[Michael Thomson @michaelsapps]

Setting up a new AI agent project with Claude's SDK is straightforward. #AI #ClaudeSDK #AgenticApp #OpenSource #DeveloperTools #Anthropic

[Michael Thomson @michaelsapps]

Get a custom agent set up in 5 minutes. You'll need to host it yourself, perhaps on Vercel, then deploy your agent. #CustomAgent #DevOps #AI #Automation #SoftwareDevelopment #LLMs

[Michael Thomson @michaelsapps]

Looking at a system prompt that gives an AI access to a 'flight' tool. The prompt defines the tool's capabilities, like rendering flight cards. Custom UI with this will be covered in another video. #AI #LLM #DeveloperTools #Automation #SoftwareDevelopment

[Michael Thomson @michaelsapps]

Want to set up your own LLM agentic chat system? You can do it in under 10 minutes using the AG UI. We'll cover customization, adding tools, and custom UI calls in future videos. #LLM #AgenticAI #OpenSource #AI #Automation #SoftwareDevelopment
