<p>I use it but not for daily coding/chatops-ing.   It’s great to have my chosen tools available from slack while I’m mobile though.   Yesterday Mr claw gave a coworker read access to a GitHub repository at my command while I was in line at Home Depot.   I’ve got a PR ready that proves authentication with an otp challenge.</p>

<p><i>i</i> know how to use curl.  (I was a contributor before git existed) … watching Claude iterate to re-learn whether to try application/x-form-urle ncoded or GET /?foo wastes SO MUCH time and fills your context with “how to curl” that you re-send over again until your context compacts.<p>You are bad at reading comprehension.  My comment meant I can tell Claude “update jira with that test outcome in a comment” and, Claude can eventually figure that out with just a Key and curl, but that’s way too low level.<p>What I linked to literally explains that, with code and a blog post.</p>

<p>I commented here already about deli-gator ( <a href="https://github.com/ryancnelson/deli-gator" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/ryancnelson/deli-gator</a> ) , but your summary nailed what I didn’t mention here before:   Context.<p>I’d been re-teaching Claude to craft Rest-api calls with curl every morning for months before i realized that skills would let me delegate that to cheaper models, re-using cached-token-queries, and save my context window for my actual problem-space CONTEXT.</p>

<p>The uptake on Claude-skills seems to have a lot of momentum already!
I was fascinated on Tuesday by “Superpowers” , <a href="https://blog.fsck.com/2025/10/09/superpowers/" rel="nofollow">https://blog.fsck.com/2025/10/09/superpowers/</a>
… and then packaged up all the tool-building I’ve been working on for awhile into somewhat tidy skills that i can delegate agents to:<p><a href="http://github.com/ryancnelson/deli-gator" rel="nofollow">http://github.com/ryancnelson/deli-gator</a>    I’d love any feedback</p>

<p>This really resonated with me, it's echoing the way i've come to appreciate Claude-code in a terminal for working in/on/with unix-y hosts.<p>A trick I use often with this pattern is (for example):
  'you can run shell commands.  Use tmux to find my session named "bingo", and view the pane in there.  you can also use tmux to send that pane keystrokes.   when you run shell commands, please run them in that tmux pane so i can watch.  Right now that pane is logged into my cisco router..."</p>

<p>the irksome bit was this:   lodash's page, first sentence, says "A modern JavaScript utility library delivering modularity, performance & extras."<p>this github's readme says "alternative to lodash".  other than being named "superutilsplus", someone who clicked on it would need to then go google for lodash to see it's another js utilities kit, to then figure out they don't care.<p>I stopped professional javascript development when i stopped having an office next to Ryan Dahl at Joyent, so, yeah i haven't cared for about a decade.  Thanks for explaining about atoms, though, my esteemed chemists.</p>

<p>i love this.   A startup I was at during early COVID times got acquired into Hewlett Packard Enterprise, so we all became HPE employees with HPE addresses.   There was a similar form there to request "ryancnelson"@hpe, etc...<p>One of my co-workers got cute and asked for "root@hpe.com" .... And boy, there's a lot of cron jobs running at HP.</p>

<p>Illumos, and specifically the SmartOS distribution.<p>Being ringside for the fork of Sun's OpenSolaris, and watching absolute geniuses steward a thing like that into a useful product and a build process was foundational for my understanding of how and why process is important, as well as how to get things fixed in the real world, while not muddying the idea of the pure design principles.  A balance can exist!</p>
