Story

The most radical expression of spec-first development: zero code, just three markdown files specifying a non-interactive coding agent pipeline in meticulous detail. Pipelines defined as directed graphs in DOT syntax. Covered by Simon Willison. This is "code is a build artifact" philosophy in production use at a real company. GitHub

10 Skills of the Day
1. Use claude agents --json to build session dashboards. Claude Code v2.1.145 outputs all live agent sessions as structured JSON with status, model, elapsed time, and parent relationships. Pipe it into a tmux status bar widget or session picker script for switching between bac...
A Markdown File Got 44K Stars This Week. Skills Are the New Package Manager.
Forrest Chang's andrej-karpathy-skills repo is a single CLAUDE.md file distilling Karpathy's observations on LLM coding pitfalls. It topped GitHub trending with +44K weekly stars. Then the ecosystem detonated. Ten-plus related repos trended simultaneously with 70K+ combined st...

FuXi hit 1,304 stars as a single-binary terminal coding agent, but ships under a proprietary license.
Static binary, no runtime dependencies, cost-aware routing across many LLM providers with automatic failover, MCP client support, BYOK and self-updating, installed via curl pipe. (GitHub) Flagging the license because it's easy to miss: despite the open repo and GitHub-hosted R...
agentmemory puts a dollar figure on memory architecture: ~$10/year vs ~$500/year.
Triple-stream retrieval (BM25 keyword, vector embeddings, knowledge-graph traversal) fused via Reciprocal Rank Fusion on the iii engine, with SQLite for state and an in-memory vector index, no external database. The economic claim: ~170K tokens/year (~$10) versus ~650K tokens...
