Fireworks in the US just hit different I’m from Chile, where fireworks are illegal, so I’d never experienced anything like this Last night in Michigan, a neighbor invited us to watch his backyard show He’s just a guy… just one dude with $15k!!! worth of explosives and a 30 minute fireworks show in his own backyard 4th of July in the US is next level 🇺🇸

Claude Code subagents can nest 5 levels deep now Boris Cherny announced it, and today I finally got to try it, Here's the full chain running end to end: - main - project-auditor // level 1 - structure-checker // level 2 - import-validator // level 3 - dependency-tracer // level 4 - style-sync // level 5 Each level runs in its own context window Only the top-level summary returns to main, depth 5 is the hard cap, that agent can't spawn further

We saw exactly this in my previous startup RAG + vector DB gives decent results, but agentic search over the repo (glob/grep/read, etc) consistently worked better on real-world codebases. We even pushed further: RAG + embeddings + AST + tree-sitter. The quality was excellent But exactly as Boris Cherny mentions: staleness and privacy, you need continuous re-indexing, and all the code and embeddings must live on your servers. In practice, fast models + bash-style agentic search ended up outperforming general RAG search, even if it requires more tool calls This is what we built 👇

Claude Code 2.1.63 dropped with a new built-in command: /simplify It reviews your changed code for three things: - Reuse opportunities (duplicated logic, extractable patterns) - Code quality (readability, naming, structure) - Efficiency (unnecessary complexity, redundant operations) Then it actually fixes what it finds. Not just suggestions, it edits. How to use it: 1. Make your code changes as usual 2. Run /simplify 3. It analyzes your diff, finds issues, and applies fixes In the video I ran it after finishing a PR review and noticed it spawned 3 parallel agents using Haiku 4.5 to do the analysis... fast and cheap Try it out 👇

Deepseek running locally and privately for autocompletion in VSCode! 🙌 In less than a minute, I'll show you how to download Deepseek-coder and set it as the autocompletion model in VSCode. You’ll need to use ollama to download the model and CodeGPT to select it as the autocompletion model. Enjoy the best models running locally with :)

Boris has Claude Code loops running on cron all day - One babysits his PRs and fixes CI - Another keeps CI healthy - Another pulls Twitter feedback every 30 min and clusters it His Claude Code setup is simple and pretty close to mine That's what I like about Claude Code. Hundreds of options, but the simplest setup just works, you probably don't need more than that And since one of those loops reads Twitter every 30 min, Boris Cherny (or his Claude on cron) is reading this post whether he wants to or not 😅

Claude Code /simplify is now /code-review Now accepts an effort parameter: - low: short, scoped, latency-sensitive tasks that aren't intelligence-sensitive - medium: cost-sensitive work that can trade off some intelligence for fewer tokens - high: balances tokens and intelligence. Minimum for intelligence-sensitive work, or to cut spend vs xhigh - xhigh: best results for most coding and agentic tasks. Recommended default on Opus 4.7 - max: can improve performance on demanding tasks but shows diminishing returns and tends to overthink. Test before adopting broadly

Introducing DeepSeek R1:1.5b Running Locally in Cursor! In less than 4 minutes, I set up the DeepSeek R1:1.5b model, download it, and run it locally to seamlessly work with code in Cursor The video is shown in real-time, with the model impressively running on an Intel Core i5 😱 using Ollama and the CodeGPT extension 👇

Claude Code just shipped v2.1.69 with a new built-in skill: /claude-api It detects your language, picks the right surface (direct API, tool use, or Agent SDK), and loads the relevant reference docs directly into context. Covers streaming, batches, files API, structured outputs, tool use patterns, MCP, also sets model defaults so you're not guessing. Useful when you're building on top of Claude and don't want to context-switch to the docs every 5 minutes.

I’ve been asked a lot why I keep Claude Code auto-compact turned off. Here’s why 👇 If you configure commands, sub-agents, and hooks properly, you almost never hit auto-compact. Every time it triggered for me, I lost important context. After looking at how compaction actually works, it was clear that key details were being dropped. So I disabled it and focused on better context management per session instead. If you want to see what happens under the hood when a compact runs: npx claude-code-templates@latest --chats You’ll get a full breakdown + per-session analytics to keep improving your workflows.

Introducing Claude Code Hook - Context Timeline (Saving this to try later) Install with: npx claude-code-templates@latest --hook monitoring/context-timeline Managing the context window and the subagents running in Claude Code is hard to keep track of That's why I built this hook... It starts the moment you open a session and shows a timeline with the main agent's context window and how subagents start working in their own separate context Every subagent you have running will show up in real time This way you can manage the context and the subagents you run, and see everything in a much simpler way than in the console

Claude Code Teams as a flow diagram Just run: npx claude-code-templates@latest --teams You’ll get a full view of how the lead and the team communicate: messages, tasks, and the tools they executed. The more observability you have into your Claude Code agents’ workflows, the better your workflows, and the better the results. Open source project:

Claude Code now has Agent Teams Multiple Claude sessions working in parallel, coordinating through shared tasks and messaging each other. Enable it by adding this to your settings.json: { "env": { "CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS":"1" } } Just describe the team you want in plain English Shift+↑ to check each teammate's progress This + worktrees = workflow multiplier

Introducing Codebase Knowledge Graphs in Cursor 🤩 In this video, I’ll walk you through how we went from using a knowledge graph of a repository on the CodeGPT platform to leveraging it directly within the Cursor editor This tool is specifically designed to navigate massive codebases, identify nodes and relationships, and deliver richer context to models specialized in code development, such as Anthropic Claude 3.5 Sonnet Stay tuned for an upcoming tutorial where I'll show you step-by-step how to create knowledge graphs and integrate them seamlessly into your entire software development workflow, from Commits and Pull Requests to even Trello tickets!
