I was today years old when I learned you can do CMD-SHIFT-L to select all occurrences of a piece of text in VSCode. How many hours have I wasted repeatedly hitting CMD-D 😬

/grill-me is my most popular skill ever. I get 5-10 messages a day about how it’s changed people’s workflows for the better But… I’ve stopped using it for code. Here’s the improved version:

Things people get wrong with my grill-* skills: - Being too passive - Not grilling in parallel - Not prototyping - Going into the dumb zone - Grilling too hard - Grilling too large a topic - Using too dumb a model - Clearing the context too soon Here's the breakdown:

You asked for it, so here it is: a deep-dive on my new /handoff skill. It's an alternative to /compact that gives you WAY more flexibility with your context window. - Think of an idea, handoff to another agent to implement - Grill, handoff to prototype, handoff BACK Enjoy:

My Ralph Wiggum breakdown went viral. It's a keep-it-simple-stupid approach to AI coding that lets you ship while you sleep. So here's a full explanation, example code, and demo.

My 'grill-me' skill went viral. mattpocock/skills is up to 9K stars. Quote tweets of it are doing numbers. It's the most useful skill I've written, and I use it even outside of coding:

claude --worktree is so good I'm making it my new default. Don't know why you should care? Couldn't follow the Anthropic announcement? (way too technical IMO) Here's a demo:

Frontend is WAY harder for AI than backend. That's because it's flying blind. It can't test the code in the environment where it's running - the browser. Here's how to hook up AI to your browser:

Everyone who's worked with AI a lot agrees: LLM's hallucinate. A LOT. But to this day, I see friends and family trusting ChatGPT blindly, whether it's is working off retrieved data or not. So, I made this. Share it with anyone who you think trusts AI too much.

I'm building an app from the ground up, and I'm filming every part of it. It's called Slopwatch. It's a great way to pick up tips for using AI Coding tools like a real engineer. First step is choosing the language. Rust/Go? Node/Bun? Only way to find out is to /grill-me.
