Skill issue. These are all skill issues. Claude CLI is extremely customizable. You can even just ask claude to make that change global to your system.
if I'm reading that right: this thing has bash access AND inbound LLM input from untrusted sources, all in an unsupervised cron-fired task? That's not great.

It looks like something a villainous billionaire would drive in a sci-fi dystopia. And not in a good way.
Love the idea (and ideas). Nice clean look, simple navigation, no clutter.

These are going to sound nitpicky, but I'm a dev myself and I know they're easy fixes for high UX gain.

Navigation is a bit annoying, back button drops you at the top of the previous page so you have to scroll down again. Probably the (unnecessary?) loading state, you could just maintain a ref to the clicked-item and scroll it into view on first render.

It says it thinks I'm in Philadelphia, which is about 500 miles off target.

slow is relative and frequently irrelevant. If you're just always waiting for network, or for results from postgres or redis or something, then a 100x speedup in your code won't change the user experience. And if you're doing computationally hard work in ruby or especially python, you're doing it wrong because either someone already wrote a native library to do it or you should.

I see a lot of the "4.7 is a downgrade" sentiment. 4.7 does (mostly) what you ask it to do. 4.6 does what it thinks it should do. As someone with 20 years writing my own code I want the former, but the loud contingent online wants the latter.

When you're on a mature codebase with 500k+ lines of code, I haven't seen anything else be as effective as 4.7.
