    Skills for Real Engineers. Straight from my .claude directory. Skills For Real Engineers My agent skills that I use every day to do real engineering - not vibe coding. Developing real applications is hard. Approaches like GSD, BMAD, and Spec-Kit try to help by owning the process. But while doing so, they take away your control and make bugs in the process hard to resolve. These skills are designed to be small, easy to adapt, and composable. They work with any model. They're based on decades of engineering experience. Hack around with them. Make them your own. Enjoy.

But is it versatile across any kind of interfaces? versatile with different format conversions? and performant (as the md is lightweight)?

  • Show HN: Graphmind – Persistent Memory and Graph for Claude Code (MCP, CLI, GUI)
    hn-ai· 13-may

    Hello everyone, My name is Alex. I’ve been a CTO for many years and am passionate about development. Unsurprisingly, and like many others, AI has changed a lot of things and made processes much simpler and faster. However, this complexity is sometimes accompanied by new challenges that are unique to AI. As we know, AI—and more specifically LLMs—have no memory; they can’t store information within their context and may perform the same search 50 times. Many solutions are now available to address this shortcoming, and that’s great. But I also quickly realized that beyond the memory issue, the problem surrounding context is a real challenge. Ask Claude Code to quickly and easily understand a 10-year-old monolith, and you’ll see what I mean... The infamous LLM hallucinations will pop up fast, …

    hn-ai· 13-may

    Hi HN, I built AgenTank. It is a small game where an AI agent writes the logic for your tank. You watch it fight, give strategic feedback, let the agent update the tank code, and send it back into battle. I have run 1,000+ battles on my own tank and spent about $200 in Claude credits improving it. The part I enjoy most is not just winning, but watching the tank make visible mistakes, thinking of a better strategy, and seeing whether Claude can turn that into better code.

Not by a little bit, either. You write code twice as quick now? Better hope you’ve halved your maintenance costs. Three times as productive? One third the maintenance costs. Otherwise, you’re screwed. You’re trading a temporary speed boost for permanent indenture. [...]</p> <p>The math only works if the LLM <em>decreases</em> your maintenance costs, and by exactly the inverse of the rate it adds code.
