🏴☠️ Read Me - If You Want To Throw Your $aa$ Subscriptions Overboard
I'm tired of paying for SaaS tools where I only use 20% of the product but pay 100% of the subscription. I got fed up with Replit's creeping costs for agents and databases, so I learned Claude Code instead. Now I build my own tools.

The example subagent in the 20k-star repo gets 2 tools and 5 turns. That's the point.
Most people write a subagent with a name, a description, and every tool turned on. The weather-agent in Shayan Rais's best-practice repo does the opposite, and the frontmatter is the whole lesson. - allowedTools is just Read and Skill. The agent cannot edit, cannot run bash, cannot wander. It fetches one temperature and returns it. - maxTurns: 5 and model: sonnet. A hard ceiling on cost and runtime. If the job is not done in five turns, the design is wrong, not the budget. - skills: weather-fetcher and memory: project. The know-how is preloaded, never invoked, and each reading gets logged to agent memory for next time.

There are two ways to wire a skill, and most people only know the one you type
The best practice repo ships two working skills in its weather demo, and they are wired in completely different ways. One you call. The other you never call at all. - Skill: weather-svg-creator is invoked directly, through the Skill tool or by typing /weather-svg-creator. It takes the temperature from the conversation and writes the SVG card. - Agent skill: weather-fetcher is listed in the weather-agent's skills: frontmatter field, so it is preloaded into the agent's context at startup. Nothing invokes it. It is domain knowledge the agent already has. - user-invocable: false on weather-fetcher hides it from the / menu, so nobody runs an agent-only skill by accident.

Claude Code now has 94 built-in slash commands, and custom ones get 20 frontmatter fields
The upstream Commands guide was refreshed this morning for v2.1.273. Two counts stood out: 94 official slash commands, and 20 frontmatter fields for the ones you write yourself. Most of us use about eight. - Session commands you probably skip: /btw asks a side question without adding to context, /recap summarizes the session, /cd moves the working directory without breaking the prompt cache, and /goal keeps Claude working across turns until a condition is met. - Custom command frontmatter: paths gates auto-activation by file glob, user-invocable: false hides a command from the / menu and turns it into background knowledge, and arguments gives you named $name substitution. - /skill-doctor shows which loaded skills go unused and what each one costs you in context.
