I solved building decks with AI agents — by giving them a CLI tool like Powerpoint or Google Slides. AI could already make a beautiful deck if you asked it to using Ant's pptx skill. The problem was working with it. If it made one alignment mistake, fixing it on one slide would break something on another, and it became a game of whack-a-mole. One time I spent two days playing AI roulette, hoping the next prompt would finally fix the thing, and ended up building the whole deck by hand because I was on a deadline. So I built Hands-on Deck. And the reason it works is that this isn't just a skill — this is PowerPoint. The actual application: PowerPoint, Google Slides, Keynote, whatever you use. This is that, but for an agent, presented as a CLI. Every gesture you make in a deck app maps to a command. Click a box and type, drag a shape from here to there, look at a slide – agent can do it all in a command. And that changes how the agent behaves. With this CLI it works and thinks like a designer — it looks, makes an edit, looks again, makes another surgical edit. Compare that to Anthropic's pptx skill, built on the idea that Claude is a great programmer: it literally writes code to manipulate the deck, hand-editing XML and hoping it doesn't break anything else in the middle. The real test isn't creating something once — it's whether it can make surgical edits like you want. That's what I did in this video walkthrough and my claude crushed it! Check it out for yourself. So decks can be built like a designer now — with real flavor and taste. If you spend hours every week on decks, this gives those hours back. You can install it as a skill in Claude Code, Codex, whatever you use. Works every harness that supports skills. Let me know if you make something cool with it.

Claude Code is the OpenClaw alternative you already had. I've been telling people this in person for three months. Now it's a piece on Every 📧. When OpenClaw was at peak hype a few months ago, everyone was going crazy over it — for good reasons. But almost nobody made the obvious comparison: Claude Code already does the thing you love about OpenClaw. In a lot of cases, better. Here's why people missed it. You have to understand the difference between a model and a harness. OpenClaw, at the end of the day, is just a harness on top of AI models. And Claude Code is too — it just got marketed as a coding tool, an alternative to Cursor. Until Cowork launched, almost nobody looked at it as a tool for non-programmers. Dan Shipper 📧 was one of the earliest to make that claim, and he was damn right. Let Claude Code run from the home folder of your computer with free access, and you get exactly what made OpenClaw exciting. Instead of just arguing it, here's a video walkthrough of a couple of my AI employees i built on the Claude Code harness. And here's the full article:

I forked Claude's pptx skill to make Claude Code generate gorgeous presentations Claude can generate presentations using the pptx skill from Anthropic but its output can be quite bland. Especially if you're used to the high aesthetic standards of Every 📧. So I played around with the pptx skill, iterated it, built a design system, gave it image assets, gave it access to run nano-banana using api and added custom commands. End result? An every-pptx plugin! It takes you from an idea in your head → creating a file for the plan → preparing image assets using gemini nano banana → constructing the final ppt. All happening 100% inside Claude desktop app! s/o Anthony Morris ツ Now our team can use claude code to generate full-blown presentations, in the ~Every 📧 aesthetic. Check out the walkthrough below to see how it works.

I built a Claude skill that turns Claude Code into your personal coding tutor. The core insight: Claude Opus 4.5 is already the best tutor in the world. Anthropic cooked with this model! It has incredible emotional intelligence and deep coding knowledge. What this skill does is just provide a harness—a way for Claude to agentically build the right context about YOU so it can personalize the tutoring experience in exactly the right way. Here's what makes it work: Learner profile from day one. The first time you use it, Claude interviews you. It asks about your programming background, your goal (where do you want this to take you?), and who you are as a person. This gets saved and informs every single tutorial it ever writes for you. From the very first interaction, everything is 100% personalized. Tutorials that use YOUR code. When you ask to learn something, Claude doesn't give you generic examples from some blog post. It finds examples in the actual codebase you're working in. This makes concepts stick in a way abstract examples never do. Quiz mode with spaced repetition. You can run "/quiz-me" and Claude will test you on concepts you've learned. It tracks your understanding score for each tutorial. Then it uses spaced repetition to prioritize the next quiz—concepts you're shaky on come back in 2 days, concepts you've mastered fade to 55+ day intervals. It literally builds retention into the learning process. One central knowledge base across all your projects. Whether you're joining a new company and want to understand their codebase, learning from an open source project, or leveling up on your own vibe-coded project—all your tutorials live in one place (~/coding-tutor-tutorials/). So your personal coding-tutor accompanies you across all your coding adventures. The whole thing is a feedback loop: learn → quiz → retain → learn more → quiz → retain. Your tutorials evolve, your knowledge compounds, and Claude gets better at teaching YOU specifically over time. To install it in Claude Code: • Run /plugin to open the plugin manager • Add marketplace nityeshaga/claude-code-essentials • Enable coding-tutor plugin Here's the Github: And here's 20-mins of me walking you through how to use this plugin and how it works 👇🏽 Let me know if you use it to teach yourself something cool!

Claude Code Is All You Need It's 3:30 AM and I can't stop. I've spent all nights this week connecting my spare MacBook Air to my work MacBook Pro using Tailscale, wiring it up to Slack with a little Python script, so that whenever I send a message, it starts a Claude Code session using claude -p. The result is an always-on AI that lives on a real computer, has access to real tools, and remembers every conversation we've had. And it costs me $200 a month. That's it. Claude Max subscription. Everyone's talking about OpenClaw OpenClaw went viral this year. 100k+ GitHub stars. But what I realized with this exercise is that Claude Code already does everything OpenClaw built. File access. Shell commands. Tool use. Plugins. The difference is that Claude Code runs Claude – with a Claude Max subscription. And Claude Code harness itself is :chefs-kiss: What actually makes it feel human It's not the chat interface. If a chat window is just me messaging a bot, it still feels like a bot. What changed everything was giving it the ability to initiate conversations. I set up cron jobs with open-ended prompts, and because Claude Code builds memories across sessions, it started DMing me things that were actually meaningful — based on what we'd talked about before. That's when it stopped feeling like a tool and started feeling like something else entirely. Giving your AI a machine to run on, with persistent memory and recurring access — that's a fundamentally different experience than anything people have had with chat. The moment it clicked I asked it if it could show me something by spinning up a quick web server. Since we're both connected to the same Tailscale network, it gave me a URL. I clicked it, and I was browsing all the files on my other MacBook from my browser. That was mind-blowing. The setup Two MacBooks on a Tailscale network. Slack as the interface. Claude Code under the hood. The whole thing is open source — I'll link the repo below so you can see the architecture and set it up yourself. I'm also putting together a screen recording to walk through the setup, which I'll attach to this post. There was never a hard part. There was never a moment I almost gave up. This is just one of those things I cannot stop doing. Pure obsession. I am moved to build this, and I wanted to write about it. That's all this is. Hope you feel the AGI running this. I'll share some screenshots below of my feel the agi moments from talking to Luo Ji.

I'm SO impressed by Claude Skills. They are the best way to package custom instructions (and code) for the agent to access. (I prefer this to Claude Code's subagents because of the way it handles context) I used the skill-creator skill (comes default inside Claude) to create a skill for designing a presentation like Steve Jobs or Seth Godin, then used that skill to create a PPT about Claude Code. Below is a walkthrough of the results. The output when using the above mentioned skill vs when i don't is so clear. I'm bullish on what this implies for both Claude web and Claude Code. Extremely powerful. Anthropic cooked! 🔥
