My current solution is to have claude (--dangerously-skip-permissions) listen for messages in my slack DMs to myself and take action in response to those messages.

I would happily switch to something better.

Why is Omnara better?

It doesn't seem to have included any points on style or workflow in the context. Most of my context documents end up including the following information:

1. I want the agent to treat git commits as checkpoints so that we can revert really silly changes it makes.

2. I want it to keep on running build/tests on the code to be sure it isn't just going completely off the rails.

3. I want it to refrain from adding low signal comments to the code. And not use emojis.

4. I want it to be honest in its dealings with me.

It goes on a bit from there. I suspect the reason that the models end up including that information in the context documents they dump in our sessions is that I give them such strong (and strongly worded) feedback on these topics.

As an alternative, I wonder what would happen if you just told it what was missing from the context and asked it to re-dump the context to file.

The point is to get a pipeline working, cost can be optimized down after.

Then, you can edit the file at your leisure if you want to.

And when you want to load that context back in, ask it to read the file.

Works better than `/compact`, and is a lot cheaper.

This is definitely not malicious on their part. Just bears pointing out.

It would definitely get me to use it more.

A 2.5 hour session with Claude Code costs me somewhere between $15 and $20. Taking $20/2.5 hours as the estimate, $100 would buy me 12.5 hours of programming.

Anthropic make it seem like Claude Code is a product categorized like Claude Desktop (usage of which gets billed against your Claude.ai plan). This is how it signs off all its commits:

     Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code)

Once I had purchased the $200/month plan, I did some reading and quickly realized that I had been too quick to jump to conclusions. It still left me feeling like they had pulled a fast on one me.

Why doesn’t Claude Code usage count against the same plan that usage of Claude.ai and Claude Desktop are billed against?

I upgraded to the $200/month plan because I really like Claude Code but then was so annoyed to find that this upgrade didn’t even apply to my usage of Claude Code.

So now I’m not using Claude Code so much.

I hate acronyms with a fierce passion.

Question: What's interesting about Hacker News?

1. Hacker News was created by Paul Graham in February 2007, initially called "Startup News" or "News.YC" before receiving its current name on August 14, 2007.

2. Hacker News users need to accumulate 501 "karma" points before they're allowed to downvote content, as part of measures to prevent the "Eternal September" phenomenon.

3. Hacker News was designed as a collaborative project between Y Combinator and Reddit, with Reddit co-founders helping develop the initial moderation algorithms.

Which statement do you think is the twist?
