I recorded a 41-minute tutorial on how I use Astra to create insane three.js websites in Codex. I've been using DiffUI to brainstorm UIs before moving into code. It's fast and cheap, generates multiple variants and lets me branch ideas, sections, logos, and other components. Then I use "Copy... show more

honestly this looks like a saturday and sunday, not a 41 minute lecture

it's good i hope. bc saturday and sunday are my jam days.

The part tutorials skip is the debugging. Ours came back with a black roof — not lighting, the front slope was back-face culled. side: DoubleSide fixed what no lighting prompt could. Watching this one.

Exploration is key before getting into the html

AICre85 days ago

Agreed — a picture is cheap to throw away, a scene graph isn't. We settle the camera path on stills first; after that the three.js is almost mechanical.

Using DiffUI as a visual staging layer before coding 3D scenes is smart. Saves a ton of cycles compared to tweaking WebGL parameters blindly. Does Astra handle responsive layout constraints automatically when exporting to Codex?

Fluxora5 days ago

So clean brother I must try Astra! Is it considerably better ? I've been cranking Opus like crazy but I'm open to test others

Meng To5 days ago

Astra is the best there is at tool calling and pretty much every task, from 3d to game dev. It's been acting a bit in the past couple of days though. Bc it's so expensive, I have to switch to Opus 5 and Fable 5.1.

Amazing workflow DiffUI to Codex to sites look incredible

Kira5 days ago

This workflow is gold! Definitely grabbing the link for that 41-min breakdown. 🔥

catman5 days ago

The real unlock is separating exploration from implementation: generate and branch visual hypotheses cheaply, then give the coding agent a selected direction with assets and motion constraints already decided.

d.g.man5 days ago

You need like 128gb to view a site like this, heavy unoptimized, sorry but this doesn't work at all

Prathamesh Patil4 days ago

fancy UI built over poor technical UX is not a great design, it simply violates so many heuristics laws and accessibility standards. Having desirable design should not be prioritised over usable designs.

This Astra to three.js workflow is brilliant DiffUI to Codex with transparent layers is such a pro move!

Jun5 days ago

the brainstorm before build order is the interesting part, diffing uis first keeps the model from committing to one layout.

Skills allow you to extend Claude Code in new ways using pre-packaged instructions and code. For example, add the docx skill to let Claude Code create word documents. I think skills make Claude Code even better as a general purpose agent, I'm excited to see how you use them!

Skills shopping cart for Claude Code In this video I show how I add Railway Skills to a “shopping cart”. After selecting the Skills I need, I copy a single command and they’re added directly to my project. I built to make the composition of Claude Code components as flexible as possible. You can install settings, hooks, subagents, and anything new that gets added to Claude Code will appear on the site. It’s fully open source and community-maintained. If you want to contribute, you’re welcome to fix or update components, download and use the existing ones, or simply support the project by leaving a star on GitHub. Repo:

I asked Astra to create a Catan game in three.js and it came out incredibly well. I played it, and the animations make it so much fun. The instructions and info cards make the game easy to learn. It even has AI players and trading. Astra used another game I had started building as a reference. The more games I build, the more skills and assets I have for the next one. It can remix the UI, 3D models, pages, and sounds instead of rebuilding everything. Now I want to see how many other board games I can make from this foundation.

This looks straight out of Blender, but it's all code in a single HTML file at about 186 KB. Astra can create these ultra-realistic 3D product demos for landing pages. A few three.js skills let you keep looping on the details, textures, lighting, and interactions until everything feels right. Live site: Our team has been adding five landing pages and dozens of components to every week. Reusing the same components and skills has improved the quality so much.

My whole company runs on skills I bundled into a GitHub repo. Here's how to build the same thing for your team: - Put your skills in a GitHub repo - Get Claude to write the couple of JSON files that make it readable as a plugin - In Claude Code, type /plugin, go to marketplaces, add marketplace, paste your repo URL - Split the plugins by department, so your copywriter isn't installing the finance skills It works in Codex too. I've got the same team skills installed there and I use them the same way. Now when I build something like my Notion formatting skill, I add it to the repo and it lands on everyone's Claude and Codex. If someone wrecks a skill, we roll it back to an older version. The key is enabling auto-update, so when someone improves a skill everyone benefits. I don't have a clue how the JSON works. I got Claude to set the whole thing up for me. Start with one skill and before you know it your whole team will be AI pilled.

Astra can create beautiful three.js UIs entirely in code. You don't need an assets library or MCP to create detailed 3D models. These are all code and are easy to customize for your agent. Give Astra a video, URL, or code reference, then ask it to keep comparing the result against the reference and fixing mistakes. Liquid Glass, shaders, motion design, procedural three.js models, and full environments. All from a few prompts. Some prompts I used: "Recreate this in a single HTML file with three.js. Keep comparing it against the reference and fix any differences." "Add Liquid Glass buttons. On hover, animate the lighting around the borders and make the background gradients move slightly with the pointer. Add subtle particles." "Improve the lighting, edges, and modeling. Give the keys more depth and verify the result against the real MacBook." Too many projects I could open-source. Let me know which one should I release.

I haven't released a new course in two years because I thought AI would replace education. I was wrong. In a sea of AI slop, good education has never felt more relevant. So I'm releasing DesignCode 5 with a new Codex masterclass. The new site was built entirely in Codex with lots of three.js components: I added homework, tests, certificates, a vault, and weekly live sessions. Pro and Lifetime members also get the Product Pass, with one year of Pro access to Framer, Mobbin, Aura, and more. GPT-5.6 Sol xHigh migrated ten years of content from a large CMS and Dropbox into Firebase. That made me realize I didn't need to build another CMS. With the right skills, Codex can handle video editing, writing, image generation, screen recording, and content updates. I'm spending less time managing everything and more time creating. It's never been more fun. I created a bunch of skills for this workflow. They're all in my repo, and the Three.js components are on Huge thanks to Framer and Mobbin for believing in me and giving our Pro and Lifetime students one year of Pro access. To every new student, welcome. I'll be there every week, giving you direct feedback and teaching you everything I know. DesignCode 5 is 50% off for early adopters right now. There's also a $499 Lifetime option for anyone tired of another subscription.

Frontier LLM models (especially Opus) are very good at finding vulnerabilities in codebases. With the right skills and a sub-agent architecture, they can outperform any traditional SAST tool. I collected the skills I use in this repository. Load them into any AI coding IDE such as Claude Code, Codex, Opencode etc. to find vulnerabilities in your code. You don’t need any third-party tools.

Three skills I use every day in Claude Code and Codex to solve my hardest problems: 1️⃣ /agent-watchdog When I have one agent like Codex working on a task and I don't fully trust it's going to do everything right, I'll open up another one like Claude Code and tell it to watchdog the Codex thread. You can copy the Codex deep link into Claude Code and it'll look at the prompt you sent, watch the Codex thread until it's done, then compare the Codex solution to how it was planning to solve it and automatically fix anything that Codex missed. It can also test the work of the other agent end-to-end. Similar to the idea of OpenRouter's new Fusion feature, I've definitely found that two models thinking through a problem and checking each other's work can be wildly more impactful than just one. 2️⃣ /plan-arbiter Similar ideas as /agent-watchdog - but with this one you have both make plans, compare plans, negotiate the differences, and make a final plan to execute. I find Claude Code is better at writing plans, but Codex is faster and cheaper to execute on them. Then I usually have Claude Code watchdog the Codex work and fix anything that was missed. 3️⃣ /read-the-damn-docs One thing that drives me crazy with coding agents is they're so reluctant to look up docs. They'll just guess and guess and guess at the right API surface for things, or the right solution to an integration of two things. Once I explicitly tell it to look up the docs, it says "Oh, I see the answer," and it fixes the problem. So I made the /read-the-damn-docs skill. Add it and your agents will know when and how to do efficient web searches to look up docs for the types of problems you really should look up docs for. All of these are totally open source over on my GitHub. If you try them, let me know your feedback. Will link to them below:

This is exactly what i was hoping for... - Full permissions - no "cowork" like feature which limits agent abilities - Just codex... If you ask for coding task it writes code and gives you a preview. If you ask for a presentation or doc it gives you a presentation or doc. Organized by project on the left side bar. Easy to create skills, easy to @ mention skills / plugins Btw my Readwise automation is insane. Every morning it codex sends me a deck of all my x bookmarks organized by topic. And i highly recommend using the excaladraw skill to render diagrams into docs.

Claude released a new design feature that's great for iOS app design. So I extracted the code and skills and turned it into a skill that can be used by any agent. Since Codex has comments and web preview built in... it works basically the same. (Oh and you can use claude 4.7 if you think it's better at design)

Three months ago, Codex was trash for knowledge work. Now it's my daily driver. I use it for writing, recruiting, deep engineering work, and everything in between. It even keeps me at inbox 0. I chatted with Every 🧱's head of growth Austin Austin Tedesco on Every 🧱's AI & I about what changed, and why he now spends 80% of his working time in the Codex desktop app too. We get into: - How Codex went from making Austin feel like an idiot to being the place he goes to get stuff done, including complex tasks like writing go-to-market plans using existing material from Slack, Notion, and meeting transcripts. - Why the Codex’s desktop app, which is faster and more reliable than Claude Desktop/Cowork, is the real differentiator. - How I source candidates with Codex by having it identify career arcs, not keywords—my go-to move is identifying organizations likely to teach the skills Every needs for a role, and then find candidates from that pool who have since gone on to work in AI. This is a must-watch for anyone who's wondering whether it’s finally time to give Codex a try. Watch below! Timestamps How Codex went from a tool for senior engineers to a daily driver for knowledge work: 00:00:57 How Claude Code proved that a great coding agent works for any knowledge work: 00:02:42 Austin's switch to Codex: 00:07:24 How Austin set up Codex with folders, keys, and reviewer agents: 00:13:48 Using Codex to brainstorm automations across Gmail, Slack, and Notion: 00:18:24 How Austin manages the human review step when Codex is drafting communications: 00:22:42 Using Codex to build specialized agents inspired by product executive Claire Vo: 00:28:54 Synthesizing meeting transcripts and Slack threads into a go-to-market plan: 00:31:09 Building a live KPI tracker in Notion that agents can read: 00:40:15 Using Codex for recruiting: 00:44:54
