Just added a heavily requested feature to vibegest.com, prob the most requested one - keeping track of twitter posts so you don't miss out.
It's quite demanding to doom scroll through the "For you" tab every day until you uncover the gems hidden in there.

- Get the gist with a quick skim with article summaries
- Track people on who left X
- Track launches on YC, ProductHunt and more

I stumbled upon a surprisingly good productivity hack. I set up an agent to run on a cron job, pick Linear tickets at random, and generate a PR for me while I sleep. In the morning, I review it and merge.

Claude skills made MCP obsolete for me. I was able to build a Linear project manager skill in ~10min by asking claude to browse their docs + claude skills docs and build a new skill for itself.
I no longer need to use the Linear MCP for that.

I just deployed a claude control agent on my server and it can now serve as my devops agent - anytime I need something done on my server, I can just ask it via Slack.
Eg here I wanted to stop a specific docker container for a couple mins and I didn't have to ssh to do it!

Today I asked Claude Control to analyse the system I've deployed and summarise what it does. I couldn't have said it better

Maintaining docs is tedious and keeping CLAUDE md up to date is part of that. However, this is critical so your coding agent can improve over time for you and your whole team.
Fortunately, this is trivial to do when you can instruct claude to self-document its mistakes.

Small tip to ensure your claude kicks off a task with the right context - ask it to study the changes you're building on top of and ask it to summarise them for you.
It forces it to gather the necessary context to pick off from where it left off without too much context rot.

Claude Code has released a bunch of new features recently, but the one I'm most excited about is the ability to selectively enable/disable MCP servers.
This is a Big Deal because it enables you to have many MCP tools at stand-by without polluting your context

Claude Control is now far more reliable than it used to be - it can continue an ongoing session more than 24h since it started.
Making this work was surprisingly challenging!

When I'm coding manually, I like to name my variables in a bit more cryptic way as a human watermark so they all know a human was here

Very cool quality of life improvement for Claude Control I recently shipped - the agent is now made quite reliable to the point where it can continue working on a job even 24h later!

Quick quality of life improvement for Claude Control - you can now start new jobs off of finished ones in the middle of a slack/discord thread 👌

One really nice thing about how Anthropic handles usage is that it doesn't cut you off halfway through a running session. This is great when you run background agents which are long-running by design.

You can now deploy multiple claude code containers, effectively enabling you to have different repos routed to different discord/slack channels.
Now I have one channel for claudecontrol repo and one for ccagent

One thing I've learnt from Plain - you need to be extremely hands on and personal with your customers for as long as possible.
This is the way I treat every new user who signs up for claude control.
It's my advantage compared to all the soulless SaaS-es out there.

Woah, I just experienced getting my server hacked for the first time!
I was carelessly running a test postgres DB on an exposed internet port with basic password and someone installed a crypto miner on it.
Made the CPU go brr.

So I've started to AI generate all my commits for a while now and it generally works great.

Someone on Reddit used Claude to automate Tinder matching. Claude manages swiping and sending messages to prospects.
Now that's a use case I didn't think of

I'm exploring open sourcing claude control so I'm letting it do some analysis and refactoring to make it work nicely.

Claude Control now supports MCP servers. The first ever feature request I got from a few active users. Ended up setting it up for myself as well and it's quite magical to query anything in your DB from within Slack using natural language

Managed to build this magical feedback loop with claude control - let claude manage its own database and run tests against it in a remote container.
Now I can ask it to work on features from slack, write tests for them and run them to verify its work 👌

What's an example of a bad MCP server? - Linear
It has 24 tools loaded Every Single Time you start the agent even if you never use them.
This can easily reduce your context from 200k to 150k or less just for having it on.
