Anthropic is buying millions of rare books, scanning and destroying them because legally destruction is the safest option. This was a plot element in the Vernor Vinge novel, "The Rainbow's End", which I read 20 years ago.
This is a tool I created that gives you 4-10 expert Claude Codes for different sections of your codebase (auth, DB, API) with their own memory, tasks, and skills. They can:
> spawn a swarm of other Claude Codes,
> talk to each other
> manage parallel work
Open-source for anyone interested.
it's called OctoGent, a prototype I made out of curiosity about what an Agent Engineering dashboard might look like.
OctoGent is simply a thin agent orchestration dashboard running locally, and it's built AROUND Claude Code, not to hide it under abstraction.
with OctoGent you can have:
> specialized context and skills for multiple sections of your codebase. (I call them tentacles)
> a list of tasks for each tentacle, defined by you or Claude.
> a CLI for Claude Code to create other Claude Codes, prompt them, and check their work.
> you can control these children and see their work.
> all visible in a graph canvas, so you have a God-view of what's going on.
> Claude usage limits always visible so you don't get surprised.
> a token heatmap of your Claude usage, like GitHub's.
> a list of your past conversations with Claude Code that you can search through, or export to use elsewhere.
It is pretty straightforward:
spawn a new Claude Code under the database tentacle,
it reads all the memories and context it wrote down,
reads the to-do list,
and starts working on tasks,
Basically, the way you use Claude Code, just with more utilities.
This is still in early stages and experimental, so if you hit any issues, submit it on the repo. You can also fork it and change it however you want.
There are docs on how you can use Claude Code as a coordinator agent, how to make it use other agents, message them, how to work with its hooks, inject prompts into Claude, and use all the things it exposes.

This is an INCREDIBLE post. Everyone working with AI needs to read IMMEDIATELY.
Becoming incredibly obvious that the most secure, best paying job in the next 1-3 years will be AI orchestrator - basically someone that coordinates AI agents to solve any problem a business has with EXTREMELY EFFICIENT token usage.
Whoever figures out how to squeeze 90%-95%+ Opus 4.6 performance, 90%+ of the time, at 1/10th the cost is going to make AN ABSOLUTE KILLING.
@boringmarketer@coreyganim I've got a 3 tiered memory system i've made for openclaw and I get great results. If it's just memory that's the sell i'm not sure i want to switch over. I have a huge database of knowledge about me currently i find invaluable.
I'm Boris and I created Claude Code. Lots of people have asked how I use Claude Code, so I wanted to show off my setup a bit.
My setup might be surprisingly vanilla! Claude Code works great out of the box, so I personally don't customize it much. There is no one correct way to use Claude Code: we intentionally build it in a way that you can use it, customize it, and hack it however you like. Each person on the Claude Code team uses it very differently.
So, here goes.
@RepThomasMassie is the most honest Republican of my lifetime. I disagree with him a lot, but at least I know that he's representing his constituents, and not his donors. If you're a Republican upset at him for telling the truth about AIPAC, did you ever believe in America First?
