Gave Claude Code a meaty task to chew through. Ran 30 minutes without intervention or stopping, got to only 3% of context left. Asking to pull changes from main, branch, commit, push, and pr got it to 0% 😅 Wow

Watching Claude Code work as a GitHub action is just so satisfying. Currently using it to: - Review PRs - Implement changes it suggests - Research project, writing results to the report - Fire up new PRs to address issues Seriously this thing is 🔥🚀🤯

100% I'm also careful to make sure when pasting the results back in, that it should account for any conventions in the repo that would apply vs. just treating it verbatim.

Here's a little tip for working with coding agents on research tasks within a repo: Instead of asking the agent to research something, ask it for a sytem prompt with all the context another LLM would need to do complete the research. Paste the prompt into o3, then paste results back. No more endless tool calls or waiting around, just keep coding along, and when o3 is done, the results have been better anyway.

That's the plan! Likely would need to be powered by AI, but a grepa MCP server / set of rules files could solve for that.

Basically! But I'm putting together a CLI tool, and scripts that will streamline it a bunch. So you'll be able to do `grepa inventory` and quickly get all tags, sort by frequency of use, see the files that have them as well as the string that follows the tag. Should make finding stuff lightning fast.

⚠️ This is very much a proof-of-concept and I’d love feedback before v0.1! Drop a reply, issue, or PR! 🙏

🍇 Grepa = “grep-anchors.” - ultra-terse tags (":ga:tldr start here", ":ga:perf,todo") - one anchor pattern per repo - dead-simple to insert, grep on, and agents are fast to understand how to search/write them Conventions & docs » https://github.com/galligan/grepa

Watching my AI agents go crazy just to locate a single line of code felt like hunting for a **needle in a stack of needles**. 🔍 🔍 🔍🤬 So I whipped up a little experiment called grep-anchors or "grepa". Just drop ":ga:<text>" anchors in comments and your tools (or agents) *teleport* to the right spot. Like the TODO's and FIXME's before, but with some conventions for predictability (and composability). 🚢 Early days, but I’m already seeing way fewer fruitless tool calls!

I wouldn't say they're mutually exclusive. Codex is fire-and-forget and Claude Code is interactive in this setup. I'll have Claude do a few things, push up a PR, then have Codex look at that branch and do some cleanup/improvements, or add tests/documentation. Codex is cool for sure though.

Indeed. FWIW I've found using Termius + Claude Code to be much more ergonomic on mobile. Fighting the squished desktop-based UI was a big pain when using Codespaces.

1. I've got an always on Mac Studio at home 2. Running Tailscale on all my devices 3. Using Termius to SSH to my Studio while remote, through my Tailnet 4. Just firing up $ claude then!

Claude Code + Termius + Tailscale = mobile coding is actually possible (and fun)

Anyone have some particularly gnarly Rules files for Cursor/Windsurf/Claude that they'd be willing to share? Thinking ones packed with directives, XML, the works. I'm trying to stress text my new rules compiler and need to find some rules that work, but are complex. Thx!

I asked o3 to "roast me" and was properly charred to a crisp. My. God. 🔥Fire up ChatGPT, select o3, and type "roast me." But brace yourself…
