  • Claude Code Token Cheat SheetEngineering·14 Apr 2026·12 hours ago

    Most Claude Code users know about settings.json, but the binary contains over 150 environment variables that control everything from thinking budgets and context window compaction to subagent model selection and sandbox behaviour. We extracted the full list from v2.1.83 using strings, verified each one against the minified source, and organised them into 16 groups with a practical guide to cutting token costs.

  • Skill: And ThenSkill·13 Apr 2026·1 day ago

    Stop building before you understand the problem. This skill forces the valuable pause — gathering context silently, extracting every ambiguity, resolving what it can from code, and only asking you the questions that genuinely need your input. When the blocking unknowns hit zero, it produces a plan grounded in reality.

  • Skill: GitHub LabelsSkill·12 Apr 2026·2 days ago

    A companion to Workflow, April 2026 — this is a runnable Claude Code skill that sets up the full label taxonomy from that article on any GitHub repo. Pick the groups you need, run the skill, and your issues speak a language that both humans and AI agents understand.

  • Workflow, April 2026Engineering·1 Apr 2026·1 week ago

    This months theme is Github issues, templates, and Whatsapping OpenClaw on a Raspberry Pi to tell Claude what to work on next.

  • Skill: Swift Accessibility AgentSkill·7 Mar 2026·1 month ago

    This is a Claude Code skill you can install right now. The body of this post is the skill itself. To install it, either right-click the **AI-friendly version** link in the header and save it as `SKILL.md`, or point your agent at the URL and ask it to set it up. Or just copy everything below into `~/.claude/skills/swift-accessibility-agent/SKILL.md`.

  • Accessibility and AI AgentsEngineering·6 Mar 2026·1 month ago

    AI agents navigate iOS apps through screenshots by default — slow, expensive, and fragile. The accessibility tree already has everything they need. Here's the pattern, the toolchain, and why the work pays double.

  • Connecting Claude Code to Your Second BrainBuilding·5 Mar 2026·1 month ago

    Claude Code generates useful artefacts — agents, skills, plans — but they live in hidden dotfiles and scattered repos. obsidian-link connects them to your Obsidian vault so they're browsable, searchable, and connected.
