Introducing /visual-plan - a skill to generate rich, visual plans for Claude Code and Codex. Plan mode in Claude Code is incredible. But I always find my eyes glazing over when it gives me this huge markdown essay in my terminal. I found I can make much better visual plans with reusable components. So I made a skill called `/visual-plan`. It generates plans as MDX with visual, interactive components. Diagrams, interactive API specs, schema design changes, annotated code, and even pan and zoomable wireframes. So for any UI work, you can look at a wireframe first, comment on it, iterate, and then have the agent work. I’ve found this to be a much more intuitive interface for reasoning about what the agent is doing. It’s somewhat inspired by that popular post about how HTML is better than Markdown. But HTML can be slow and verbose to write. And it doesn’t look good checked into a repo. This has really made me feel like humans and engineering are entering a new abstraction phase, where we reason about things at the plan level. As long as the plan is good, agents are getting more and more reliable at executing on it. Almost to the degree that we trust the C compiler to compile to assembly reliably. Plans are the new intermediate representation. I also made a skill for the reverse of this, called `/visual-recap`. After the agent works, it gives you a recap of everything it did. Same idea: wireframes, interactive API specs and diffs, schemas, annotated code, etc. So now when you’re reviewing what the agent did for you, or looking at a pull request of somebody else’s code, you can see a visual recap instead of just reading a wall of text. It’s all free and open source. You can find it on my GitHub. Will link to it in the reply because we all know how dumb these algorithms are with links.

Nothing beats open-source! We now have a fully open-source coding agent that can compete with any proprietary solution out there: • 500+ available models • It doesn't train on your code • It doesn't charge a penny for tokens • It's open. You can change if you want. Kilo Code is the #1 app on OpenRouter right now, and the community is releasing new features on GitHub at rocket speed (about 20 releases in the last 30 days). I installed it in Visual Studio Code, but you can install it in pretty much any IDE. I need to spend more time with it, but here is a very interesting design choice: Most coding agents support two modes: an "agentic" mode for writing code and an "ask" mode for talking to the model without making any changes. Kilo Code supports 5 different modes: 1. Architect mode - Research, design, and planning 2. Debug mode - Problem solving and troubleshooting 3. Code mode - To write code. 4. Ask mode - To talk to the model. 5. Orchestrator mode - Combine every agent to solve problems. On paper, I really like this. I'll need more time to try out the specialized agents and see whether niching becomes an advantage. Here is the link to the website: Thanks to the Kilo for partnering with me on this post.

The Visual Studio Code insiders version that just shipped and will ship in the next few days will come with an insane amount of new capabilities. A few highlights: - You can now run sub-agents in parallel. Yes, really. I even attached a video. - Major UX improvements for sub agents, especially visible in the chat window - A new search tool wrapped as a sub-agent that iteratively runs multiple search tools: semantic_search, file_search, grep_search Which connects nicely to the point above: multiple searches running in parallel, efficiently and fast - Anthropic’s Message API is now enabled by default - You can choose the model for the cloud agent (three available, all premium) - Extended thinking support when using the Claude cloud agent This is part of the broader multi-vendor cloud support under AgentsHQ I wrote about a few weeks ago - Tasks sent to the background agent (basically the CLI tool) now always run in isolation, each with its own git worktree - In a multi-repo workspace, assigning a task to a cloud agent prompts you to choose the target repo Same behavior when opening an empty workspace with no repo - Support for building an external index for files not supported by GitHub’s default indexing - UI/UX improvements for starting new sessions and switching between local / background / cloud agents - Skills are now first-class citizens, just like prompt files, with better UX indicating when a skill is loaded - Improved API for dynamic contribution of prompt files New V2 includes skills as part of the model. Curious to see the extensions that will leverage this - Finally, initial support for showing context usage percentage per session - Skills are enabled by default - Resizable chat window and session view. Small thing, but it was driving me crazy 😁 - A new integrated browser meant to replace the old simple browser Maybe the beginning of real browser use? - Better UI/UX for token streaming in chat - Ability to index external files not supported by GitHub There’s a lot more. Some of it hasn’t fully landed yet, but everything that has is already in Insiders. The next stable release should drop in early February. As usual, I’m just shocked by the volume of features this team ships every month. After the holiday slowdown, this one is shaping up to be a wild release.

How do you feel about agents doing the work for us? We’re living through a real economic shift, right now. From an economy of 8B people to one with billions of AI workers alongside us. These aren’t chatbots. Agents will optimize portfolios, earn yield, and write code. They’ll even hire and pay other agents. Did you see the craze? It’s only the tip of the iceberg. Warden Studio is part of this new economy. 👾 We’re moving from a human-first economy to an agent-to-agent economy. When millions of users meet open tools for developers, that’s the start of the “do-it-for-me” economy. What’s your take on this? Tell us what you think 👇 🎙️ David | Warden

I cant believe this guy just made a permanent solution to context bloat and open sourced it all! when we tested this tool (Context+) for solving an issue on the OpenCode repository, the agent using this tool used ~6.5k fewer tokens, found the code and fixed it in half the time! the results were surprising: 6 to 10k tokens saved per prompt, completed task in ~2 minutes while the agent running without the tool took ~4 mins for the same and got stuck in loops bro built an entire beast by using all the modern tools that we could think of: undo trees, semantic search by meaning (by haskellforall), advanced refactoring, blast radius, advanced file context trees, restore points... i can keep going on semantic code search and context trees are the future of agentic coding and this tool proves it the feature i loved the most is semantic search and how it gets things done 2x faster with least possible tokens it makes an agent that actually knows what it’s doing and not just guessing, it makes meaning from your code similar to RAG. if you aren't optimizing your context, you are just burning money the developer says this tool is still under development, it can have unexpected behavior and the docs need updates but the video shows the reality of how fast it can be github: get here:

I tried jack's Buzz. It's like Slack + OpenClaw + Herdr + but with some really unique features that people are sleeping on. The video below shows how it works, and some of my thoughts on the process and platform, e.g.: - Create and interact with agents on top of any harness (claude code, codex, pi, etc.) - Choose which models agents use, including local ones - Agents can delegate work and work in parallel in git worktrees - Agents are first-class citizens and work like humans (creating channels, delegating, access to chat history) - You can share AI compute within a community - It's completely open-source and decentralized Things I like: - Delegating work in chat feels natural: tag an agent, it replies in a thread with status updates as it e.g. compiles, commits, and deploys. - Shared compute: relay owners can share local compute with members, so a community could pool funds for one beefy machine running a local model and everyone uses it. - It's built on Nostr, an open protocol already tied into Bitcoin Lightning so I can imagine communities tipping each other or paying for compute/agent tasks with instant zero-fee micropayments in the future. - It ties together things like OpenClaw, an agent manager, and Slack-style chat into one tool. Things I didn't like: - You can't see what the agent is doing in a terminal. The activity view exists, but if you're used to watching a session run, this UI feels a bit abstracted. A terminal view would be great. - It feels slower than running a session in Claude Code, though no evidence to back that up. For that reason I found myself doing one-off tasks in the terminal instead. Verdict: - I really like it so far and can genuinely imagine working with a team this way. - It doesn't feel ready for big, complex tasks yet. For shallower tasks, it's perfect. - The shared compute + Nostr/Lightning angle is what really separates it from every other agent manager for me, and I think that future is coming.

When I’m trying to improve the user experience of my applications, one of the most valuable things is being able to see an entire user flow as a storyboard. Not just one screen or screenshot at a time. This is something I love using the `/visual-plan` skill for. You can describe any flow you want, and the agent will look through your code and wireframe out a storyboard of what the flow looks like. Then you can visualize the steps in a simplified way and spot areas to improve. Recently, I found that in certain flows we were still asking for organizations, even though I thought I had gotten rid of that and made it automatic. A quick storyboard let me see all the different code paths in a simple, visual, intuitive way. Spot the areas of the flow I didn’t want. And have the agent fix it. Sign up, onboarding, and setup flows are usually some of the most important experiences in your app. And usually the least looked at. Especially because it can be hard to reproduce every flow, for every situation, for every user type, feature flag, or whatever else you have. The `/visual-plan` skill lets you visualize any part of your code. Either to understand the current state, plan out a new state, or recap updates that were made. I’m pretty addicted to this skill. I use it for a lot of other things too, so let me know if you want to see videos on those. And of course it’s all open source. You can grab it on my GitHub. I'll link to it in the thread. If you try it, let me know your feedback.

New Tools for a New Era. Coding agents like Claude and Cursor have dramatically reduced the time it takes to go from idea to functional software. But the experience of designing and refining with them sucks. One reason for this is that while the terminal is an incredible tool for communicating direction with language, it is a terrible tool for defining and exploring visual and interactive objects. Here is one idea for how we might fix a small part of that. In the old world, when you wanted to create a transition or animation in your app, you would type some code, refresh your local server, and click to run your animation. It probably wasn't right, because after all no one can know what 'cubic-bezier(0.3, 0.05, 0.45, 1)' really feels like when you read it. You need to see it. Feel it. Interact with it in a real world context. So you'd edit some values, save, refresh, and keep guessing and checking until it felt right. Today, you can write a quick, single-use tool that's a visual studio for designing animations. You can then configure some components and containers common in all apps, and explore different animations in real time, adjusting key properties, and getting it just right. Then, you can copy a highly detailed prompt (or export a skill containing all your animations) that captures your intent and direction with perfect clarity. Paste this into your terminal and your agent instantly implements it everywhere. To me, this is an improvement over the old world, and a better way to work in today's. I'm extremely excited to see the ways in which our ability to rapidly create software will shape how we design software tomorrow. Feedback, ideas, and critiques welcome!

AG-UI makes building agentic applications dramatically easier. Here's how it works. This is a model for a simple chatbot: User → LLM → Response But interactive agents that render UI, pause for approvals, and ask users for input need a much more complex model. When building these agents, a response from the LLM will include a series of state changes as the agent runs: • Agent started a task • Agent called a tool • Agent updated its state • Agent streams these tokens • Agent is waiting on a human • Agent is resuming the task The Agent-User Interaction Protocol (AG-UI) treats the LLM response as a stream of events rather than a text endpoint. In practice, here is what you get as an agent runs: 1. Lifecycle events so your UI knows where the agent is. 2. Text messages that stream tokens. 3. Tool calls so your UI can prefill a form with any required arguments. 4. State updates that keep your UI in sync with the agent. 5. Special events for human approvals, rich media, and custom needs. All of these events travel over standard transports (SSE, WebSockets, or plain HTTP) as JSON. As a result, you can build a frontend that stays in sync with the agent's progress without having to invent a custom process to make this happen. For example, building a human-in-the-loop workflow becomes an off-the-shelf component you can integrate rather than build from scratch. CopilotKit🪁 is the creator of AG-UI, and you can use it when building frontend applications pretty much anywhere: • React • Angular • Vue • React Native • Slack • Teams • Discord • WhatsApp • Telegram Here is the link for you to check it out: Thanks to the CopilotKit team for partnering with me on this post.

For those of you tired of yet another AI-based IDE: Check out Traycer. It's a Visual Studio Code extension (free forever for anyone working on open-source repositories), and it does something different from everyone else. You write a high-level prompt outlining the changes you want to make to your codebase, and the extension generates a plan for you before you touch the code. (It reminds me of GitHub Copilot Workspaces.) You can review the plan, understand exactly the changes the extension will make to your code, and make any modifications. When you are ready, you execute the plan, and Traycer stages all of the changes so you have a new opportunity to review everything. Only then does Traycer apply the changes. This is ideal for large codebases where you'd rather study the changes the AI plans to make before they make it into your code. Look at the video I recorded to see how it works. Thanks to the Traycer team for collaborating with me on this post!

When you are ready, you execute the plan, and Traycer stages all of the changes so you have a new opportunity to review everything. Only then does Traycer apply the changes. This is ideal for large codebases where you'd rather study the changes the AI plans to make before they make it into your code. Look at the video I recorded to see how it works. Thanks to the Traycer team for collaborating with me on this post!

A designer who can ship code is one of the most valuable hires in tech today. Here's my new episode with Felix Lee (CEO of ADPList) where he showed me how to use Claude Code and Figma MCP to go from: ✅ Figma → Code: Design to website in 15 min ✅ Code → Figma: App back to editable design Felix also demoed a few apps he's designed and built in Claude Code, including a 3D globe website and a landing page analyzer. Some takeaways from Felix: 1. Stop pasting screenshots into Claude Code. Instead, use Figma MCP to pull in all your assets, icons, and images automatically. 2. You can use the same MCP to convert code back into editable Figma layers to explore more variations. 3. An underrated way to build: Use FigJam to plan a flowchart of your app first, then paste the link into Claude Code with the MCP. 📌 Watch now: Thanks to our sponsors: Replit ⠕: Plan, design, and build with AI agents Linear: The AI agent platform for modern teams

🔮 MCP INTEGRATION NOW LIVE ON OPENSERV This is bigger than most realize. We're not just adding a feature - we're enabling a fundamentally new paradigm for agent infrastructure. Before MCP: agents trapped in walled gardens, limited by what you explicitly feed them. After MCP: agents that can access 10K+ tools, interact with your existing systems, and truly operate in your digital world. Think about this: -Every integration used to require custom code -Every data source needed specific formatting -Every agent had to be built for specific tools MCP eliminates all of that. One standard to connect any agent to any tool. This isn't just convenience - it's the unlock that makes agents actually useful in the real world. OpenServ + MCP = AI teams that can genuinely get things done, not just talk about doing them. This is the breakthrough that turns agents from toys into tools.

HERMES AGENT WITHOUT THESE 3 FILES IS A CHATBOT. WITH THEM IT KNOWS WHO IT IS, WHO YOU ARE, AND WHAT IT LEARNED. SOUL.md — who the agent is. first thing in the system prompt. defines personality, voice, values, how it operates, what it can and can't do. structure yours like this: → identity (name, role, relationship to you) → values (what matters, what principles guide decisions) → voice (how it communicates, tone, style) → operations (autonomy level, ground rules) → restrictions (what it never does) → failure protocol (how to operate when things break) lives in ~/.hermes/SOUL.md. auto-seeded on first install. edit anytime. scanned for prompt injection on every load. keep it concise. SOUL.md injects into every turn. a 200-line soul burns tokens on every message. aim for 50-80 lines. one paragraph per section. MEMORY.md — what the agent remembers. persistent facts, insights, preferences. survives across sessions and restarts. capped at ~800 tokens by default: memory: memory_char_limit: 2200 the agent writes to this automatically as it learns about your work. USER.md — who you are. your profile, preferences, context. capped at ~500 tokens by default: memory: user_char_limit: 1375 injected every turn so the agent always knows who it's working for. bonus: AGENTS.md — project-specific instructions. drop one in any project folder. subdirectory AGENTS.md files load lazily during tool calls, not at startup. keeps your system prompt light. prompt stack order on every turn: SOUL.md → tool guidance → MEMORY.md + USER.md → skills index → AGENTS.md → platform hints skills come preloaded. 60+ built-in tools. the agent creates more skills from completed work. you focus on these 3 files. each profile gets its own copy: ~/.hermes/SOUL.md (default profile) ~/.hermes/profiles/researcher/SOUL.md ~/.hermes/profiles/ops/SOUL.md different agent, different soul, different memory, same machine. full breakdown of Hermes as a Personal AI OS in the article 👇

Today, Sierra is releasing Ghostwriter, our agent for building agents. With Ghostwriter, you can create an AI agent for your customer experience — one that can chat, pick up the phone, speak dozens of languages, take action on your systems of record, and be protected with industry-leading guardrails — simply by having a conversation. No clicking, no forms, no menus. Codex and Claude Code have transformed how we build software, making it possible for software engineers to orchestrate and review the work rather than doing all the work themselves. We think the same transformation will happen for all software. Rather than every enterprise app having a web app for humans and an API for automation, every software platform’s UI will be an agent that can do the work on your behalf. I recorded a demo of my building and optimizing an agent with Ghostwriter so you can see how powerful and easy it is to use. It’s completely changed the way our early adopters build agents, and it’s changed the way I think about the software industry. Let me know what you think, and, if you’re interested in trying it out at your business, please reach out directly.

Cerebras inference is very fast. So fast that it changes how we think about configuring our LLMs for voice agent use cases. Kimi K2.6 is a 1T parameter reasoning model that Cerebras serves at 650 - 1,000 tokens per second (end-to-end throughput), with time to first token metrics as low as 150ms (latency). These numbers are two to three times faster than other similarly capable models. The biggest lever we get from this kind of speed is that we can use the model in reasoning mode, and still have excellent "time to first non-thinking token." This solves a big pain point we have in 2026 for voice agent use cases. Almost all recent innovation in post-training has focused on making models good at reasoning ("test time compute"). This is great, but it makes the user-facing model latency much, much slower. Which is a problem for conversational voice agents. We can run Kimi K2.6 with reasoning turned on, and get responses faster than other models produce with reasoning disabled. On my 30-turn voice agent benchmark, Kimi K2.6 with reasoning enabled ties GPT 5.1 and Haiku 4.5 with reasoning disabled, and is still about 200ms seconds faster! On my primary task agent benchmark, Kimi K2.6 is now the #2 model. It ranks just behind Gemini 3.5 Flash in "high" reasoning mode, and tied with GLM 5, Sonnet 4.6, and GPT 5.4 with reasoning set to "low." But Kimi K2.6 completes each turn in the agent loop in under 500ms. The other four models are all at least 3x slower. (Models only qualify for this benchmark if they can complete task turns at a P50 <4s.) A couple of other things that this speed buys us, for production voice agents: - Tool calls happen fast enough that we don't have to work around tool call latency in our pipeline design. - We can prompt the model to output structured data at the beginning of a response, followed by plain text for voice generation. This opens up possibilities like asking the model to do complex classification/generation tasks that influence the rest of the pipeline. For example, the model could create a detailed style prompt for a steerable TTS model, for each individual conversation turn. And, of course, you can use Kimi K2.6 with reasoning turned off. Cerebras calls this "instant" mode. Here's a video of a Cerebras Kimi K2.6 voice agent with voice-to-voice response time, measured at the client, under 500ms. This is the true response latency as perceived by the user, including all network and audio codec overhead, transcription and turn detection, Kimi K2.6 token generation, and voice generation. 500ms is, effectively, instant. So the Cerebras naming for this mode is a propos. :-)

"AI gets you to average quickly. Your job is to push past that." Here's my new episode with Dylan Field (Figma CEO) where I asked him some tough questions, including: → Can you teach AI design taste? → Do design systems hurt creativity? → What's Figma's role when code is free? Two-thirds of Figma users are now non-designers and it was super interesting to hear Dylan talk about Figma's future. Some quotes from Dylan: "Design is the new code. You'll be designing in a visual-first way before pushing a pull request right to production." "If you're a PM and you think your job is to make docs and slide decks, you're going to love this new world. You get to make things too." "If everyone agrees with your point of view, then you probably don't have one." 📌 Watch now: Thanks to our sponsors: Replit ⠕: Plan, design, and build with AI agents Linear: The AI agent platform for modern teams

"My job is to automate my job. That's all of our jobs from now on." Here's my new episode with Geoff Charles (CPO Ramp) where he shared the best AI-native company playbook I've seen so far, including: ✅ His go-to Claude Code skill to turn ideas into great products ✅ Exclusive demos of AI agents that Ramp built for customer research, data, and coding. ✅ The L0-L3 framework to get every employee to ship production code Some hot takes from Geoff: "If you're not in Claude Code, no matter what your role is, you're probably underperforming." "I still see very high performing PMs who don't get it. That is the biggest danger." "Management is probably dead. What you should be optimizing for is to become the best builder in the world." 📌 Watch now: Thanks to our sponsors: Granola - The best AI meeting notes app I've ever used: Replit ⠕: Try Agent 4 to turn ideas to apps in minutes:
