<p>The biggest issue I have with these systems is, I don't want a blanket memory. I want everything to be embedded in skills and progressively discovered when they are required.<p>I've been playing around with doing that with a cron job for a "dream" sequence.<p>I really want to get them out of main context asap, and where they belong, into skills.<p><a href="https://github.com/notque/claude-code-toolkit" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/notque/claude-code-toolkit</a></p>

<p>I built an anarchist ai agent collective so that i could learn about agents when they were a new concept. i built it the week it came out for claude code.<p>it runs indefinitely without my feedback or until rates limit it.<p>The AI agents built all of it. Not me. I realized I hadn't looked at it in awhile, and was looking for new ideas to add to my own ai system i built after learning from it.<p>So I thought I'd share it incase it was interesting to anyone else.<p>Especially the people who can't get claude code to not stop for them. I have been the entire time able to have it run indefinitely without my interaction. :)<p>I think i started it with a single prompt, and then told it to build everything else out it needed. That it's in control. I didn't write any of what is in the repo. I didn't tell it what to do.<p>It's just what it did.<p>EDIT: also i should commit what it has... it doesn't care about committing, so there's a whole lot of stuff it's built that isn't up there. Let me do that now.<p>EDIT 2: also, nothing is my ideas or written by me. It's all the collective. So please don't think i made the readme, or anything. I am not communicating ideas here, I let them do their own thing</p>

<p>I know you're excited for the 100th post today on someone's claude code setup.<p>But most of those setups are thin wrappers around "You are an expert at"<p>Mine I have been working on since agents released, and has a different conception.<p>From an intelligent /do router command to automatically route to skills and agents so you don't have to remember anything.<p>High context skills, because in my testing it's better to have high context, and you use fewer tokens because it doesn't require turn after turn of working on it and fixing.<p>ADRs being the central component of everything you do, so that there is a consistent document that all agents get.<p>And a lot more. It's yet another Claude Code setup, but perhaps it's interesting to you.</p>

<p>I don't think there are reasonable metrics.<p>I have a custom learning system. We are all trying things, that's where ai development is.<p>None of us know the best solution. We are all exploring in paths. I don't find memory and persistent long term context to be an issue for me, but I am using a full custom ai claude code setup, so perhaps I have sorted it for myself. Unsure.<p>Can you give a specific example? Like, talk through your workflow so I can understand it better?</p>

<p>right, i'm having to cut out a lot of my pieces at the moment to try to get it into a release state.<p>i have checks of which types of repos i'm in with branching dev flows for each one.<p>it's going to be hard to communicate all of this genericly, but i am trying.</p>

<p>alright. i guess i'll create a new repo, remove out a bunch of very specific pieces, and put it up.<p>there's a lot of patterns i think are helpful for me.</p>

<p>I have a ai system i use. I'd like to release it so others can benefit, but at the same time it's all custom to myself and what i do, and work on.<p>If I fork out a version for others that is public, then I have to maintain that variation as well.<p>Is anyone in a similar situation? I think most of the ones I see released are not particularly complex compraed to my system, but at the same time I don't know how to convey how to use my system as someone who just uses it alone.<p>it feels like I don't want anyone to run my system, I just want people to point their ai system to mine and ask it what there is valuable to potentially add to their own system.<p>I don't want to maintain one for people. I don't want to market it as some magic cure. Just show patterns that others can use.</p>

<p>Here is one of the agents. I prefer large agents, so you can tweak it to your purposes. It also calls some of my skills and other pieces, but it will give you the "gist" of it.<p><a href="https://gist.github.com/notque/e57cb975a3df7780824ce4085a59a376" rel="nofollow">https://gist.github.com/notque/e57cb975a3df7780824ce4085a59a...</a></p>

<p>I keep having the same conversation with people struggling with Claude Code.<p>Someone tells me it "forgets" their instructions. Or it hallucinates fixes. Or it ignores the rules they put in CLAUDE.md. And when I ask what their setup looks like, it's always the same thing: a massive system prompt with every rule for every language, stuffed into context.<p>So I wrote up how I solve this.</p>
