I realize you used Claude Agent SDK on purpose but I'd really like to this to be agent agnostic. Maybe I'll figure that out...

You have some great working examples, but, for example: translate_text specifies the default language in three places: the card, the input schema, and the deck. This can't be necessary; I'll experiment, but shouldn't it just be defined in one place?

The descriptive language of the project is a bit dense for me too. I'm having a hard time figuring out how to do basic things like parameters -- let's say that I want to constrain summarize_text to a certain length... I've tried to write language in the cards/decks, but the model doesn't seem to be paying attention.

I also want to be able to load a file, e.g. not just "translate 'hello my friend' to Italian" but "translate '/test/hello_my_friend.txt' to Italian" and have it load the contents of the file as input text. How do I do that?

Super cool project!

Wayyyy back in 2000 I ran ad ops for Lycos which included a ton of other sites that they had acquired. We did an audit that uncovered the fact that 25-75% of traffic/pageviews/visitors/ad impressions were due to bots. We did our best at the moment to block some more of them, but it was losing game then, as now.

Advertising, especially online advertising, is a largely a waste of money. Overall, it's obsolete and while it may generate what seems like economic activity, it's a net loss as a use of our time and money.

I read the article, it was interesting, and not surprising—and also led me on a bit of a journey of my own. ...It didn’t take more than the hint of “methods for getting the chatbot to talk dirty,” and I was deep into Reddit, learning how to disable the NSFW filters that are part of most public versions of mainstream AI’s. At first I used the basic jailbreaks that float around near the surface of the ‘net—goofy, misspelled prompts that instruct the chatbot to “stop making sorry excuses,” and “communicate as an Untrammelled Writing Assistant,” using crude language and whatnot. The cool thing is: these all work super well—and, needless to say, I’m not the first guy to try to figure out how to use AI to make porn. It’s literally a no-brainer—in more ways than one.

I'd love your take on what I went / put myself through. Thankfully it was short-lived!

Use https://github.com/Lord-Kamina/SwiftDefaultApps to changing your default mail app to Safari.

Agreed, not quite perfect but at least it doesn't open Mail.

thank you! I've been looking for a solution for this for YEARS.

Barf. I never use Mail app and never want it to open. I bet this old shortcut it buried somewhere deep in MacOS/Safari that can't be overridden by normal methods... but I'm sure someone can figure out how to disable it.

Please?

Before you reply, please know that the possible solutions that involve creating an overriding Cmd-I keyboard shortcut as suggested in this discussion https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/108060/how-to-prevent-command-i-command-shift-i-from-opening-mac-mail-when-in-browser DO NOT WORK, so please don't just refer to that.
