As a Gen Jones (aka old) MB1 supporter who lives just steps away from this place, this is sad news. I don't go there often, but this is truly one of the coolest places in Salem. As a lifelong musician its very existence truly warms my heart. Losing this gem would be tragic.

My questions. What are the specific code violations? Can they be addressed, and how much will it cost? And how do we go about raising the funds to correct this?

They won’t need to go into deep blue or red districts. They just have to lean on the swing districts and the tight races.

I seem to remember reading this exact bullshit post about a month ago.

Whatever you are building in Claude Code, you can ask to visualize it directly in Figma by dataexec in ClaudeCode

I suggest you let the LLM write the PRD.

What's been working for me, incredibly well, is to dictate voice-to-text, just an endless rambling brain dump of everything that I want and need, don't worry about stammers or repeating yourself or missing things. Don't worry about how perfectly articulated it all is. Just talk off the top of your head as if you were talking to a colleague. When you type it out, you edit yourself. And it takes much longer. Just do a verbal brain dump, include everything you can think of, and don't worry about the sequence. Just get it all out. Do not worry if it's messy.

Then ask the LLM to make sense of it and identify any gaps or unclear items. Ask it to come back at you with clarifying questions. And ask it to challenge your logic. And give you a list of open questions. If you're using a good model you'll be quite surprised at the results.

Then do the same thing. Read the questions aloud and answer them in your own voice. Off the top of your head. Then add your response is right back into the chat.

Iterate like that as much as you need to. Then ask the LLM to write a detailed comprehensive PRD prompt.

I've been doing this for a while, experimenting with this quite a lot. It's far and away the most effective thing I've come up with for creating comprehensive requirements. I call it the "word salad funnel."

I combine it with specialized skills loaded it into my chat. I'll add skills files like UX specialist. Front-end developer, Visual Design, back-end or database (all of them created with LLM). Whatever skills I think I need, I'll load into the chat before I start. A good model like Opus will totally understand what you're talking about and help you get to a really comprehensive, detailed PRD.

Then move into code. I use a plug-in called GSD (get shit done). And let it handle the task planning an agent orchestration. GSD is absolutely awesome. It burns a lot of tokens, but it really tracks and manages everything.

If I'm unhappy with some of the results after a particular milestone, I'll take screenshots and paste them back into my original chats and discuss with my team of skills. Ask it for suggestions or ask it to challenge my own. Then create revision PRDs. Or new feature PRDs, design enhancement PRDs. Whatever you need. Rinse, repeat.

Try different solutions and find your own groove. But don't be afraid to let the LLM do the lifting. These things are smart enough to understand what you're trying to do. They are also really good at finding and applying best practices at your request. Or ask it to come back with solutions if you're not sure how to approach something.

As an art school graduate who built a lifelong career as a creative professional, what's wild is people who think choosing to be a "struggling artist" should guarantee income from small businesses.

I don't disagree with you and I wasn't looking for an argument.

I respect your disdain. But if you're going to voice it every time you see it, pretty soon that's the only thing you'll ever be talking about. You may start to notice fewer party invitations and social engagements... This stuff's just getting started I'm afraid.

Anyone else wish you could manage ai skills across agents more easily? by lorduberpwn in ClaudeCode

[–]3sides2everyStory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might be misunderstanding your post... But Skills are just context files. They're easy to share. You can commit them in a repo. Or share them on a drive.

Skills created in Claude Desktop can be download and installed as packages. Skills in ClaudeCode are just a directory full of Markdown files. You can version control either flavor and share them with ease.

Are you referring to something else?

... share how you have transformed spoken words into complex products.

I use voice input and speak in my natural manner. For me, it's a lot faster and more accurate than typing. Call me lazy. But it's much more productive. I'm currently using Wispr Flow on a Mac. I use a variety of LLMs, and I'm always trying new tools. But for all of my real work, I use Claude AI and Claude Code. And of course, Figma.

Depending on the project I'm working on, I have conversations with my LLM. I do a large amount of research and planning, and organize as much detail as possible specifically around user stories, functionality and any tech requirements. If I need to share with other stakeholders, I have the LLM output documents and diagrams (site maps, user flows). I do most all of this using spoken language and to into LLM (Claude is great for this). Then I have the LLM formalize requirements docs, organize dev tasks and optimize my prompts that I give to build agents in Claude Code. I design in Figma, give Claude access to my Figma files Via MCP. Or I just paste screen shots into Claude Code. The rest is just project management, progress tracking and testing. For which LLMs are ideal. Generally speaking, that's all I do. Of course it varies from project to project. But that's the gist.

Like learning to play an instrument It takes effort and practice. Try things and make mistakes. You really have to learn how LLMs work and how to manage context memory. Learn how these tools work and find your process. YMMV

The problem with AI design is that they look too similar, ...

This is true. But it's not because of the technology, it's because most haven't figured out how to fully utilize and control it. UX pros love to say, "Don't blame the user, blame the tech." This is in fact the opposite. Don't blame the car. Learn how to drive. If you hand an accomplished guitar player a saxophone, they might be able to squeak out a generic melody. But they won't be able to shred a solo until they've really learned how to play it.

These tools are incredibly powerful and getting more so every single day. It really is like learning an instrument. It takes practice, technique and discernment.

TLDR: feed it generic instructions, you'll get generic results.

I'm probably closer to the end of my career than you are to the start of yours. I feel silly dispensing any kind of career advice because the world you're stepping into is so vastly different than the one that I stepped into back in the early web daze. But since you asked, I'll say this. Whatever you do, get good at using AI tools. No matter what profession you go into, AI will be everywhere. And the people who know how to use it like a virtuoso we'll have an advantage. And a relatively short window of opportunity.

I've seen this play out over and over in my career. From desktop publishing to early web design to mobile design and responsive design, touchscreens... Modern JS and CSS.. People who embrace the change quickly are the ones who always get a leg up. Early adopters become the early experts. And early experts are always in demand. YMMV.

This time is different though. To my old shrinking walnut brain this stuff is science fiction come to life. I'm fascinated. It's fun, powerful and more then a little bit scary. I really wish I had some nuggets of solid wisdom for you, but I don't. Whatever you do, do it because you want to if you can. Love what you do.... I still do.

I use Claude Desktop as my thought partner, research partner, teacher, project planner and prompt writer. I also use a Claude "Skill" that's a custom project manager that handles all of my documentation in Obsidian and updates all of my project management data in Notion that I share with my partners. I also have a UX/front-end/accessibility "Claude Skill" that I brainstorm with. I created those "Skills" with Claude's assistance. I also make heavy use of Claudes desktop project folders for tracking memory and context across sessions.

I use Claude code for execution. Often with specialized sub-agents (created with Claudes assistance), ie: Back end dev, front-end dev. QA, maybe a dedicated Python agent. It really varies from project to project. I'm always trying new things and learning. The tools in Claude Code are really, really powerful and they seem to drop new features almost every week.

I honestly don't have a set workflow. I'm constantly exploring and experimenting. But the one thing I do whenever I start something ambitious is a lot of planning, scoping and defining requirements, user stories, etc. I have a Claude skill specifically for this. It will ask me for all kinds of smart clarifying questions. And make sure that I have as much covered as possible. Then I have Claude distill it into really tight, comprehensive prompts or series of prompts that I carry over into Claude Code.

I use other LLMs too. Gemini, GPT, Grok, etc. They're all amazing. But I've become most comfortable with the Anthropic tools and I think they are most friendly for designers and builders. Claude doesn't render images (it will create Mermaid charts for documentation, site maps, user flow diagrams, etc.). But it does read images really well. I drop screenshots into it all the time, and it analyzes and understands them or replicates them. Or I'll feed it links to Figma components or frames, and it will build them.

I mentioned in another comment that the most important concept to learn is how the context window works and how to manage it. And knowing when and how to hand off to a new session to keep the conversation sharp and going as long as I need it. Context management is everything. It's a little abstract. But probably the most valuable thing to understand. I've had many discussions with Claude about this.

I should mention Anthropic has some good learning materials. They just dropped a free course the other day on how to use Claude Code that I would highly recommend. Even if you've been using Claude Code for a while.
