This article explains how to add agent skills support to coding harnesses lacking native support, based on my experience implementing Skills Primer, a CLI tool I wrote. Skills integration instructions and skills catalogue The agent skills documentation explains very well how to i…

This page explains why I implemented Skills Primer, a CLI tool that enables skills integration in coding agents that lack native skills support. Why I implemented skills-primer Most major agents (Claude Code, Codex, others) support Agent Skills natively. But some agents do not, b…

Working on a small project, trying to implement skills into an agent that does not support skills, made me realize (again) that using skills to set guardrails depends a lot on the model you're using and is non-deterministic almost by design because of the way they are implemented…

This month I'm attending a conference for the first time in years. When a friend asked if I'd be bringing business cards, we both wondered if that was still relevant. How about a digital business card, then? Turns out there are online apps for that, and they charge a monthly fee.…

I put together a Jujutsu footer extension for the Pi Coding Agent that appends jj commit context to assistant responses. If you use jj and Pi, you might find it useful. Full details: jj-footer-extension.md.

This is a short experience report about building a tiny TUI/CLI to inspect configured agents and model assignments in Opencode. I wanted a simple way to see which models were configured on which (sub)agents and their relative costs. I also did not want to spend much time building…

LLMs can draw diagrams, but you get better results with a conceptual model, a validation loop, and a lightweight verification pass against the codebase than with free-form diagramming. I used the C4 model extensively to map architecture landscapes. Last week I saw an opportunity …

Skills are a great way to introduce capabilities in your agent flows. To support my "The Day I Learned" repository and website, I created a skill to extract learnings from coding and LLM sessions. The skill below is installed in my global agent settings (AGENTS.md), and from each…

This is an experience report on updating my (this!) website using coding agents and Beads ('a distributed, git-backed graph issue tracker for AI agents.'). Site update using coding agents Over the past week, I used coding agents to update my website. The result is, at least I hop…

This is a short experience report about using skills (with Codex and its models) to build a personal AI assistant that helps me maintain my time-tracking log. To set expectations: the assistant does not manage my calendar or tasks. It helps me keep a time-tracking log that lives …

This is a short post to share a positive experience I had using an LLM agent to quickly add a feature to an existing personal CLI time-tracking application. Below, I describe how I added it using Zed, Opencode and Claude. To start, I wasn't even sure the feature I needed existed …
