`git diff` is probably all you need.

Yep, the `files` array should be required by default, but isn't, resulting in many gigabytes of garbage being pushed to the npm registry every day.

Eventually you will want to update it, every update is a risk.

Even better would be to not use so many libs. Most use cases will do fine with native `fetch`.

npm really needs to provide a options to set individual packages to only be publishable via trusted publishing.

I have instructions for these because the attribution settings don't accept placeholder tokens like ``, `` etc.

Yep, it regularily ignores CLAUDE.md files. It seems these files are not weighted high enough vs. the prompt.

.claude is likely to contain secrets and also contains garbage like cache etc, if it is shared, it should only be partially shared.

Would love if there is a way to parallelize playwright mcp using multiple agents and such, but it seems it's a fundamental limitation of that MCP that only on instance/tab can be controlled.

Chrome MCP is much slower and by default pretty much unusable because Claude seems to prefer to read state from screenshots. Also, no Firefox/Safari support means no cross-browser testing.

There appears to be https://github.com/sumyapp/playwright-parallel-mcp which may be worth trying.

Effort would be better investigated making `jq` itself faster.

They are also closing issues automatically that has no "activity" in 30 days, so you have to spam those issues.

Yep, once you start looking into the inner workings, you realize it's just a rebranded Azure Pipelines with a ton of technical debt attached.

This won't pin the action's dependencies, so it's a shallow approach only.

New comment by silverwind in "Chrome DevTools MCP (2025)"

silverwind — Sun, 15 Mar 2026 21:22:51 +0000

I found Firefox with https://github.com/padenot/firefox-devtools-mcp to work better then the default Chrome MCP, is seems much faster.

IIRC, esbuild is still lacking code splitting.

silverwind — Tue, 10 Mar 2026 12:07:22 +0000

Yep, the indirection through the PR author is almost always inefficient and error-prone unless the author is really knowledgable about the code (many aren't).

How would the LLM exactly discover such unknown CLI commands?

Why would anyone use a python interpreter that is slower than CPython?

Mozilla really needs to trim this menu down by default. Who needs "Print selection" in this day and age?
