Haven't added a demo to the repo yet (will do soon) but building this TUI [1] in Go to manage my agent skills.

I don't like putting 20-30 agent skills in the .claude/skills/ dir and letting the agent figure it out. I keep all the skills I've created and adapted over time in a separate git repo and then from there I copy them to the project skill dir when i need them for a session and then remove them when I'm done.

This TUI just replaces all the manual work with ls, cp -r, and rm -rf commands with a few keystrokes.

A couple tidbits:

> Beyond today’s releases, Gemini 3.5 Pro is currently testing with partners and we plan to make it broadly available as soon as it’s ready.

> We have started our most ambitious pre-training run yet, for Gemini 4, and are excited by the progress.

If you're talking about translated text, then that should be super easy. Most of these dictation tool support post-processing with LLM to remove filler words, fix punctuation, etc. I'd imagine you can change the system prompt for the post-processing step to do the translation instead, and you'd get translated text.

Handy is an amazing cross-platform app for dictation from the author. There are other awesome open-source dictation tools as well like native macOS ones. You do not need SaaS subscription in this day and age for transcription.

I maintain this list of all the best open-source ones in this awesome-style GitHub repo. People looking for open-source dictation tools, hope you find something that works for you here:

Totally understandable, but I’ve found that software that transcribes everything after I finish recording actually works better for me. I’ve tried both kinds, and systems that continuously type what I’m saying distract me from completing my thought. I end up reading what’s being typed and noticing transcription mistakes instead of focusing on what I’m trying to say.

I often prefer to dictate everything in my head about a particular thing for 5–10 minutes and then go through it afterward. I find that much more useful because it doesn’t break my thought process the way continuous transcription does.

I built this [1] for myself so that I can comment lgtm in PR comments with an ASCII art. Pretty silly but fun.

Based on both performance vs price charts, it seems using Opus 4.8 with med effort is almost a better choice than using Sonnet 5 at xhigh effort
