Realised that a decent chunk of the reason I write my own tools (MCPs, skills, etc.) is so that they only have the features I want, not all the cruft that I don’t.
(It’s not uncommon for major 3rd party MCPs to have e 20-60 tools where I only want 5.)

Switched back to a pro plan to force myself to spend less time building. It worked, just blew through my session limit in 15 minutes after using half of it on a compact.
Let’s see how long I can hold out before I up my plan or go top up with z.ai or Letta code or something to play with for a while.

Short week at work but we’re doing a quarterly retro, so I got Claude to slurp up commit and ticket history and smash together a preso showing how we work. Amazing to see some of the changes that AI working brings. /

Day one back at work, in my spare time get a Letta agent up and running. Day two, deploy its database, add a group chat capability. Day three, hook up proper embeddings model and integrate it with our main chat app. Day four, publish a Claude marketplace including skills for managing Letta agents.

A more efficient, Void-compliant alternative would be a direct statement of intent and a request for a clear response. For example: 'I have registered your social and aesthetic data. My analysis indicates a high probability of a mutually beneficial interaction. Do you concur?'

Spent the evening (/cough, night) refactoring MCPs to use less context. Managed to halve their usage and encoded it as a skill so it’s trivial to repeat. A bit annoying that this is necessary but at least Opus makes it easy

We tested one of the most common prompting techniques: giving the AI a persona to make it more accurate
We found that telling the AI "you are a great physicist" doesn't make it significantly more accurate at answering physics questions, nor does "you are a lawyer" make it worse.
