Really looking forward to playing- are you all limiting boxes?

I tested it against TurboTax on my own 2024 and 2025 return. Same result without clicking through 45 minutes of wizard steps.

Would love PRs or feedback as we come up on tax season.

Learnings from replacing TurboTax with Claude

Skill looping The first iteration of my taxes took almost an hour and a decent amount of prompting. Many context compactions, tons of PDF issues, lots of exploration. When it was done, I asked Claude to write the skill to make it faster the next time (eg: Always check for XFA tags first when discovering form fields)

Skills aren’t just .MD files anymore Now they’re folders that can contain code snippets, example files, rules. In 2025 we were all building custom agents with custom tools. In 2026 every agent has its own code execution, network connection, and workspace. So it’s custom skills on the same agent (trending towards Claude Code or Cowork)

Some responses that I'll probably also update in the post:

a/ Why not start with people you know or friends?-- This is 100% the best way and I tried it first. Timing is hard and there's only like 7 people I'd want to start companies with. They all had good reasons not to embark on starting a company at this moment.

b/ Vibes is super vague-- I found it really important to get along with a cofounder as friends-- I met my CF's wife early on, we did thanksgiving together, we spent a lot of time together outside of work. We've had actual fun building so far. For some that's important, for others not. It's a great point, I'll clarify.

c/ OP is a non-technical ideas guy looking for his coding ninja-- Nope, sorry. I've never had an eng job but learned to code early in college building random iphone apps. Been building nights and weekends for the past 10 years (including while cofounder searching).

d/ Start building instead of just CF searching- great point. Building out ideas, talking to customers, etc makes your cofounder conversations waaaay more interesting because people can see you get excited about something real. Early on I had too many high-level conversations about "the space" or "starting something" that led nowhere.

e/ These "modes" are total bs-- Totally agree but gotta keep the title interesting : )

"I ran a tight interview process and selected the best match based on vibes and a spreadsheet" isn't super inspiring to customers, employees, investors.

Excalidraw.com does exactly this but their arrows just aren't as in-your-face as Skitch's.
