Re:Skill to Create Product Videos on Monday November 02, 2026 @01:10PM (#50340993)
Every time I created new products my focus always went first (wrongly) to building instead to distributing and helping others to use what I created.

After building my thing and having all the excitement of seeing the new toy working, the promotional and communication part always felt more like an obligation, and most of the times was neglected. I always struggled to create manuals, videos, support content, etc.

So I open sourced a skill for Claude Code that helps in that last part. With some instructions and this skill, you can create product demo videos. With professional voice overs, and subtitles in different languages. Combining the browser and the terminal. Everything controlled from your AI. For example, the clip in this post was made with it.

It's not going to do distribution for you, but it's a start ;)

Re:Skill to Manage GitHub Boards on Thursday October 29, 2026 @12:23PM (#50291594)
Manage what AI agents are doing is boring, this skill was useful to keep them under control. It allows you to manage what they are doing through a Github Projects Board. I hope it's useful for someone.

Re:OpenAI "rogue" agent activities found on Wikimedia projects on Wednesday October 07, 2026 @06:33AM (#49990830)
I was expecting some tough stuff, like edits sugarcoating https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skynet_(Terminator)

The sandbox edits didn't match my apocalyptic expectations.

Re:Vibecoding isn't as fun as writing code by hand on Wednesday October 07, 2026 @06:14AM (#49990677)
I like the 2 curve diagrams, but I think the vibecoding curve was accurate in a very specific time period (~between Q4 2025 and 2026 Q3). I think now the builders expectations about vibecoding are more accurate which leads to better pattern and more "scalable" building. Personally, for me after some of the pain described, the building process is somehow different but still fun
Re:Ask HN: Is anybody producing good code with coding agents? on Tuesday October 06, 2026 @09:35AM (#49978251)
What worked for me was to stop treating the agents like juniors who writes the whole thing and started treating them like a very fast typist who needs full spec and a gate. It requires more structure, effort and monitoring but so far payed back. Hope that helps
that's useful, is there an endpoint that can be used to validate an x402 endpoint?
