Check out Mike Pocock’s work, he’s done excellent work writing about red green refactor and has a GitHub repo for his skills. Read and take what you need from his tdd skill and incorporate it into your own tdd skill tailored for your project.

This is just ai slop. If you follow what the actual designers of Claude/GPT tell you it flys in the face of building out over engineered harnesses for agents.

I agree with this. There is not a lot of harnesses/wrapping needed for Claude Code.

You don't need a harness beyond Claude Code, but honestly it's foolish to think you shouldn't be building out extra skills to help your workflow. A TDD skill that does red-green-refactoring is using Claude Code exactly as how it's meant to be used. They pioneered skills.

Works better than standard claude / gpt, which doesn't do red-green-refactor. Doesn't seem like slop when it meaningfully changes the results for the better, consistently. Really is a game-changer. You should consider trying it.

I do do TDD but using skills in this way is an anti-pattern for a multitude of reasons.

I don't think just saying it's an anti-pattern for a multitude of reasons and then not naming any is sufficiently going to convince anyone it's an anti-pattern.

This is in fact precisely what skills is meant for and is the opposite of an anti-pattern, but more like best practice now. It's explicitly using the skills framework precisely how it was meant to be used.


Sounds Funj!

I love Claude, but I’m personally rooting for Dick’s Sporting Goods to take the #1 spot

I'd bet that oatmeal helps cancer due to increased elimination from the GI system, like any fibre

Grok is already being brought in

Grok in US gov in 3 2 1…

Already there 'February 23, 2026: The Pentagon confirmed a new agreement allowing Grok use in classified systems. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced it would go live soon on unclassified and classified networks, alongside other models, as part of feeding military data into AI.'

This will mean Grok becomes the defacto US Gov AI provider.


> it would go live soon on unclassified and classified networks, alongside other models, as part of feeding military data into AI.

Absolutely insane.


They say a picture is worth a thousand words, they should've just used Nano Banana

I'm still doing this. Is there a better setup? It's already very convenient and secure.

I'm still doing this, too! The only thing I added was setting up notifications on my local machine using hooks in Claude Code (using a reverse ssh tunnel from my local machine to a VPS).

As for fancier setups, I keep bookmarking them, but haven't gotten around to trying any of them, yet.


Nice. What other fancier setups have you seen? I haven’t even come across any potential better alternative. Been playing around with tailscale’s new aperture service too which is awesome as well.


Here are 2 that I found in my bookmarks that I haven't tried:

* https://github.com/laurentenhoor/devclaw

* https://www.workforest.space/

I see these kinds of repos and projects being posted on Reddit all the time. I just never get around to trying them :(


Tailscale's new aperture also solves this elegantly: https://aperture.tailscale.com/


Interesting it's hosted on gwern...


Gwern hosts a lot of PDFs -- see https://gwern.net/archiving


I guess that makes sense in the light of her previous post and work on making a new archiving solution for being able to host singlefile archives more efficiently.

Thank you



her?
