Wooo that's so cool... it seems to be private?

Fantastic! You should open source it

Have you tried analysing all your prompts, and then telling it to "figure out" what custom skills might improve your prompts? I do actually have another project I'm working on that does this... it's been super useful for seeing how I prompt, what Skills I use and getting them to evolve and improve (I know Hermes does some of this, but it's been interesting rolling my own - will release soon!!)

Nice! I love Cal Newport. I've definitely found spinning up multiple Claude Code instances eats into your focus, and you can "lose yourself" quite quickly. I find I use pomodoros more as nudges, and use the "beeps" to bring me back if I'm in the browser or something. but yeah... it's a trap for sure!

Me too. Also it’s good to get decent reports that can be used for other things. For example the logs help me fill in my time sheets. Also it forces me to take breaks

Thanks for sharing. I was stuck in a Greek hospital for 8 days with 2 fractured vertebrae, before I could get home. It’s easy to get into a spiral, but putting your mind to build something really helps. I do hope your ribs and collar bone is getting better? I’ve been lucky, as it will heal but could have been really bad. Phew!

It has sensible defaults just do /pomo start

It’s only if you want to customise it. Also CC will do it for you. It’s very agent friendly

Mmm apols. You’d think I’d have learned my lesson by now, but it’s just so seductive to have it write for you. I got burned with this very HN post for doing just that, but they kindly let me rewrite it. Will tweak it. Thanks for the feedback!

Oh that’s an idea? Could use hooks or something?

Fantastic. I think these small productivity tools embedded in harnesses is pretty powerful. I especially like that you can get the AI to use it and also just pop into the CLI. Also nice to generate useful web dashboards etc

These are my "LLM Wiki" notes, I've been using to build a central resource of "how to build an AI First Startup" If you've got any other tips *I'd love to hear them* - thank you!
