Introducing /skill-doctor v1 Skill doctor is a skill that improves your skills: - Crawls your past CC, Codex, or Warp convos - Scores them for efficiency and code quality - Proposes diffs to your skills that you'd actually merge (STE-100 approved) 🔖

More terminals need tab groups. It's so convenient

Huge MacOS 26 upgrade: you can force hide menu bar apps now 🧘

💡 Annoyed when your iPhone sends an HEIC file? Macs have a built-in conversion tool called sips: sips -s format jpeg input.heic --out output.jpg No need to install image magick even

Come on Claude this is getting ridiculous...

Dang, svgl is a clutch little website. Logos for every tech project, with super fast local search

🤯 What, Chrome has an AI summarizer API built in now?? - No API keys, no internet. Runs locally - Downloads the model on-demand - Available as a global in the latest version of Chrome. Works in chrome extensions too I have so many chrome extension ideas now...

Dang, Golang is so great for building servers. - Built-in `io` package - `ReadAll` that can handle files and HTTP responses in the same way - `defer` to colocate cleanup code with your app code ...I might be becoming a gopher 🐹

Geez, I'm using voice for everything now. Searches, Slack conversations, even this tweet. Prevents typos and gets ideas down So many tools for this; VoiceInk is what I use. It's open source + compilable from source, runs on device, no subscriptions

Well everyone, I'm very excited to announce... I'm joining the Warp team full time!

Y'all need to use VoiceInk for voice dictation. It's fast, 100% local, open source, compilable from the GitHub repo, and no subscription fee. Replaced Wisprflow with it and it's just as fast and accurate. 🔊 Sound on!

I feel this. Esp annoying when your .env is missing in a worktree. To mitigate this in my Warp setup, I made a custom tab config that auto-symlinks .env files from the main directory whenever I make a worktree. It's been saving me a lot of time

Love the way Dia does changelogs every week. They champion the small things: This is just about perf improvements, last few weeks were tab groups. And they include quotes from engineers who built it and graphics to teach you features. Feels like I'm a part of something

💡 Reminder to add this git setting to your bash rc file: git config --global branch.sort -committerdate `git branch -l` lists alphabetically by default, so it's hard to find recent branches. This sorts by date instead!

Tired of `--set-upstream` copy-paste of shame every time you push a new branch? There's a git setting for that: git config --global push.autoSetupRemote true

Warp is a really great terminal, and I thought y'all deserved a rundown of all its features. So, I recorded one! We cover everything from block filtering to code review, with a bunch of features in-between you might not know about. Enjoy

These are the 5 skills I use to get better output from Opus 5 and GPT 5.6: /grill-me for research /taste-review for design /vercel-react-best-practices for ReactJS quality /simplify to remove the fluff /test-app for e2e verification Here's how they work 👇

Introducing Hubble: the best notepad for you and your agents. - Feels like Notion or Apples Notes, but for Markdown - Live-reloading editor to collaborate with agents - Supports HTML-based apps to build interactive visualizations Free and open-source 👉

I never use planning mode in Codex. GPT 5.5 loves to research, so I just have a conversation and reach a pseudo-plan in chat. Then, I let it implement, maybe with a /fork beforehand to keep that plan as a revisit-able point. Probably the biggest switch coming from Claude Code

He's not exaggerating by the way. We set up shareable SSH sessions so anyone on a team can join an agent while it works. There's even multi-cursor to see what someone is typing in the prompt box 🤯

The /handoff skill is so great. I use it to plan with Claude Code using /grill-me, and delegate that plan to multiple worktrees running Codex

Idk why people keep binding keyboard shortcuts just to open Mac apps. You know you can just... rename the app right? 💡

Every Markdown editor should have a comments system. So nice for working with agents on plans and blog posts

Skills without self-improvement loops are... basically tech debt. This is the process we use on the Warp repo to keep agent Skills useful the more they're run, based on human feedback 👇

Every open-source project should be engineering agent loops right now. We've found success managing Warp with loops for: - Issue triage - Spec generation for larger features - Code review - Even letting agents self-improve their Skills on a cron

I was getting really annoyed with TipTap + Prosemirror, so I decided to give Slate a try. ...Man, where has this library been my whole life 🥹 This bulleted list demo took me weeks to get half-working in TipTap. In slate, it took a couple hours (with Codex's help)

Claude and Codex have a /goal skill now. But for goals to work, you need good acceptance criteria. A good process using Matt Pocock's skills: - Use /grill-with-docs to scope out the feature - Use /to-issues to turn your conversation into actionable goals as GitHub issues

Here's the best setup to manage multiple Claude Code and Codex instances at once. It's not claude --worktree, it's not cmux, and it's not even the Codex App 👀

🔥 NEW DATABASE JUST DROPPED 🔥 It's this thing called a "file system" apparently. Cross-platform, local first, zero dependencies. Idk if it'll scale though

LLMs have finally stopped recommending React. Nature is healing 🧡

🛑 If you're still exporting Google Docs as Markdown, or spreadsheets as CSVs... it's time to stop! The GWorkspace and Obsidian CLIs have saved me so much time pulling context into Claude Code, Codex, etc. Here's a rundown

Everyone: GitHub Desktop is better! No, VS Code! Me: ...I just use `git add -p`. Walks you through each change, hunk for hunk, and lets you accept with `y`. It’s like a mini code review before you commit. Pair that with dandavison/delta, and you get syntax highlighting too 👀

Some React devs assume you need to npm install a library to get tooltips. Not true! For icon buttons, use a combo of the `title` attribute and screenreader text with Tailwind CSS' sr-only class. Gives you a native tooltip for the label while improving a11y

...Am I the only one hand-rolling my PR review agent? It's so easy to do: - Write a /pr-review skill with the formatting you want - Add a GitHub workflow that runs your agent of choice, ideally a different model from your primary agent to find gaps in thinking Done!

I made a state management library for React. It's called simple store. Goal: make Zustand way simpler ⭐ - Stores are like atom() in Jotai, so types are inferred - You can select nested values, and use *them* as stores too To understand that last point, watch to the end! 👀

Stop using "npm run" 😤
