This advice for code pirates is from the attached article that goes into more depth, on how coding agents like Claude code work - and how to work with them. A good read if you want to know why they do dumb things sometimes. - Think before you click: Tell the AI what you’re trying to build and why before asking it to do anything. Clear intent = better results. - One task at a time: Small requests work better than “build everything.” Treat it like giving step-by-step instructions. - Ask for a plan first: Have the AI explain what it’s going to do before it does it. This keeps things tidy and predictable. - Stay in the loop: AI is fast, not magical. Skim what it creates so you understand the shape of it, even if you don’t know the details. - Save often: Keep versions or checkpoints so you can roll back if something feels off. - Use it as a helper, not a boss: AI is great at drafts, setup, and heavy lifting—but you decide what stays. - Give it house rules: Simple guidelines like tone, style, or “don’t change working stuff” help it behave consistently. - When it gets messy, reset: If things drift, start a fresh request with clearer instructions instead of fighting the old one. Vibe coding works best when you treat AI like an eager assistant: clear direction, small steps, and human at the wheel.

Perhaps I’ll run a short skills workshop in the near future if anyone is interested. This is from linkedIn. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/karthikeyan-rajendran07_ai-claudeai-anthropic-ugcPost-7409742673118466048-MlIH?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_ios&rcm=ACoAAAs0AOsBh6rqE9o4G0RRqBj4fZg4_IKp0ZM

Did you just get this from Claude/Anthropic? If you want to learn how to build a skill, this is the time to do it. 2x use on Claide from m midnight PST 25 Dec to midnight PST on the 31st. Anyone else going to party like it’s 1999?

Found this Claude Skills GitHub Repo full of, um, you guessed it… skills. I’ll investigate more, but thought I’d pass it on! Merry Christmas Landlubbers! https://github.com/ComposioHQ/awesome-claude-skills

I have been hearing about this for a couple of days but I haven't had a chance to download it. So I've added it, I haven't used it but I'm gonna provide a link on how you can upload it to Chrome. Why I'm doing this is because I've been using ChatGPT's Atlas for a little while and you can bring ChatGPT up on the sidebar like you can now with Claude in Chrome. It's useful for asking about what you're looking at, and asking where to go next on the page. So I'm going to try it but look at the warnings - these are the same for ChatGPT on Atlas. Obviously there are problems and I don't think those problems are going to go away because it's a cat and mouse game between hackers and programers. That said, I'm going to give it a shot - remember no personal details, so don't let it see your online banking! Interested? Why don't you give it a shot? https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/claude/fcoeoabgfenejglbffodgkkbkcdhcgfn?pli=1
