An agentic skills framework & software development methodology that works.

How it works It starts from the moment you fire up your coding agent. As soon as it sees that you're building something, it doesn't just jump into trying to write code. Instead, it steps back and asks you what you're really trying to do. Once it's teased a spec out of the conversation, it shows it to you in chunks short enough to actually read and d…

simonw· 04-ago
<blockquote cite="https://yegge.ai/essays/the-shape-of-things-to-come/"><p><a href="https://yegge.ai/gastown.html">Gas Town</a> was intended to be reusable, but I only ever wound up using it to build itself. Gas Town fell apart at the seams with Opus 4.7. Up through 4.6 it was working brilliantly. With 4.7 we saw the introduction of the "just two more things" tic, which prevented Opus from ever converging on being ready to do real work—it always wanted to fiddle with Gas Town itself. The Opus tic never went away, so Gas Town effectively burned down. It had other problems, too, but 4.7 was the final straw.</p></blockquote> <p class="cite">— <a href="https://yegge.ai/essays/the-shape-of-things-to-come/">Steve Yegge</a>, The Shape of Things to Come</p> <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwi…
