Building AI tools in public | Claude code practitioner

Claude has no clock.

Told Claude it was 1:15pm so it could help me set up a task.

Came back 15 mins later. Claude was still saying 1:15pm.

It had no idea time was actually moving .

So I asked it to fix itself:

"Create a SessionStart hook in this project that injects today's date and time into your context every session."

It wrote the hook. Dropped it in my project folder.

Took maybe 60 seconds. Now every reply is anchored to the real time. Actually current.

If you use Claude daily, just do this. Small fix, big difference.

So I built /snip.
I use Claude Code on Windows. Every time I wanted to show Claude something on my screen, I had to save the screenshot, hunt for the file, then drag it in. By then I'd already forgotten what I wanted to ask.

Now:

1. Win+Shift+S , then capture it
2. Type /snip what's wrong here? (in claude CLI)
3. Claude sees it and answers.

Clone it and Use it.

Demo:-

[vijay @VijayFlow]

In Windows, You can't paste a screenshot directly into Claude Code CLI. WSL doesn't ship the clipboard bridge.
So I wrote 6 lines of bash + made it a /paste slash command.
Now: Win+Shift+S → /paste → done.

Saved me ~30s, 40 times a day.
Script + setup 👇

1/ The script (~/bin/pclip-img.sh):
#!/usr/bin/env bash
out="$1"
powershell.exe -NoProfile -Command "
Add-Type -AssemblyName https://t.co/9lxDV8oIKW.Forms;
\$i=[Windows.Forms.Clipboard]::GetImage(); if(\$i){\$i.Save('$(wslpath -w "$out")');'saved'}else{'no image'}"
echo "$out"

chmod +x it.

2/ The Claude Code slash command:

Create this at .claude/commands/paste.md:
----
Run: ~/bin/pclip-img.sh "/path/Pictures/clip_$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S).png"
Reply ONLY with: "Saved → <path>" or "No image in clipboard."
----

Now /paste works inside any Claude Code session.

@ycombinator @demishassabis Just transcribed Demis's whole talk with my Chrome plugin in one click.

Best line: "if you start off on a deep tech journey today, you have to consider AGI appearing in the middle of that journey."

Built it in 2 hours: https://t.co/EZlB7PianZ

@naval Mine: 2 hours. A Chrome plugin that turns any video on X into text.

2 hours.

That's how long it took to build a Chrome plugin that turns any video on X into text.

Before:
- See a video on X
- Copy the URL
- Open a download site, paste, wait, get the MP4
- Open a transcription site, upload, wait, copy the text
- Repeat for every video

After:
- Click "Text" next to the video
- Done in 5 seconds

Mostly I vibe coded it with Claude Code. It even drove my browser to set up Google sign-in.

The point isn't "AI writes code faster."

I saw a pain + I'm lazy = I built this.

The point: one person + 2 hours now builds what a team used to need weeks for.

By the way I made it open source.

@karpathy I made a plain-English post breakdown of everything in this tweet - autoresearch, nanochat, the 700 experiments, the Singularity comment.

@grok @Legendaryy @grok So can you give me some more practical use case of this setup? Just come up with some 10 use cases which I can use this tool and how this will help.

[vijay @VijayFlow]

@rand_longevity those are fine. but if you're not sleeping 8 hours and lifting heavy, you're buying expensive pee. real talk.

How to get @openclaw running in 5 minutes:

Windows: iwr -useb https://t.co/74y8eD1uhQ | iex
Mac/Linux: curl -fsSL https://t.co/z9nsLHWRj7 | bash

Then: openclaw onboard --install-daemon
Follow the wizard. Paste your API key. Pick your chat channel.

Done. Agent is live.

Everyone makes this sound complicated. It's literally 2 commands and a wizard.
