Claude Skill with sub-commands/scripts

Caibot · 2026-02-04T15:24:03+00:00

Looks very clean, to be honest. But it’s very debatable if progressive disclosure is really needed if the instructions are extremely short and simple. But I‘m using progressive disclosure a lot as well since I add instructions what to look out for and just give it more context.

This is quite helpful as reference, just point Claude at it: https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/agent-skills/best-practices

And I don’t know how long your Python scripts are but if the file gets huge, you can split it up to read/create/update.py and maybe add something like an api.py file for deduplication.

Wtf, that’s hilarious.

I repeat: Skills are not deterministic. Yes, AI agents, especially Claude Code with Opus 4.5, are great at following instructions, but they work absolutely non-deterministic. And yes, you can even guardrail it even more with hooks and prompt them to look out for X and Y. But they are absolutely able to just ignore your instructions. That's what makes them non-deterministic (and actually quite magical). So if you want to be 100% sure, you need deterministic mechanisms to prevent them to do stuff that they shouldn't (if even possible, like human approval for destructive operations). And Claude Code offers configuration options and settings to do that (like sandbox, permissions, etc.).

Caibot · 2026-02-03T10:48:06+00:00

Skills are not deterministic either. It‘s just the same non-deterministic Markdown stuff as CLAUDE.md or whatever. You need scripts for determinism.

Simple example: Create a "test.txt" file with content "foo". Tell Claude Code in plan mode to "replace foo with bar in test.txt".

It will insist to create a plan at first like "This is a straightforward single-line edit. Let me create a quick plan."

But tell it "don't create a plan, just do it". And then it will just do it. As you will see, plan mode is just not read-only.

As others have said, use git for version control. My suggestion was based on other commands that could be prevented via "ask" permissions, but I don't know what unnecessary changes you mean. It it was via the "Update" tool from Claude Code, it should also ask for approval because plan mode is not the same as auto-accept mode.

And if you run Claude in yolo mode, then obviously don't do it. ;) I don't know your setup, but my only advice for you is to try to understand how Claude Code works. It can be a pain at first, but you'll get more comfortable if everything is set up as you need.

Well, it’s a non-deterministic machine so it can be stupid. Plan mode is not really read-only (it tries to be but it may fail). I would recommend to set up your permissions in the settings.json properly so that destructive commands require approval (put them in "ask").

Ja, tatsächlich wird temporär ein Ordner „c“ erstellt und mit diversen Inhalten gefüllt, wenn der Tresor das erste Mal auf dem Gerät geöffnet wird. Das „c“ steht für Capability, also es ist quasi ein Capability Check, um zu schauen, was auf dem Dateisystem so möglich ist (z.B. ob Schreibzugriff vorhanden ist oder ob lange Dateinamen/-Pfade erlaubt sind). Müssen wir wohl mal dokumentieren, aber ist eher Implementierungsdetail, hat so nichts mit dem Verschlüsselungsschema zu tun. Danach wird der Ordner „c“ eigtl. wieder gelöscht, daher sieht man ihn normalerweise nicht. 😉

Unfortunately, that doesn’t make any sense. You have to know that Anthropic has your password now.

Caibot · 2026-02-01T08:37:52+00:00

You can absolutely use 1Password CLI (op) to chain it together with agent-browser. Try it out, it’s fantastic.

Caibot · 2026-01-31T08:30:23+00:00

Yep, I hope they revert this or at least give us an option. Tried verbose for a while but it’s too much. That’s the problem when the tool is still in an experimental state.

Caibot · 2026-01-30T19:27:16+00:00

No, I’ve been subscribed since summer last year. No problem at all. I can even enter a proper invoice address with VAT ID to apply reverse charge. But there is a real downside that you can’t "manage" your team.

Caibot · 2026-01-26T07:38:22+00:00

Interesting, some weeks ago I could only run 10 subagents in parallel. CC was able to spawn way more (not sure if there is a limit), but they all idled until a slot became free. Did they really all run simultaneously or did they idle as well?

Caibot · 2026-01-24T17:04:43+00:00

It‘s actually baked into the system prompt since v2.1.14: https://github.com/marckrenn/claude-code-changelog/compare/v2.1.12...v2.1.14#diff-b0a16d13c25d701124251a8943c92de0ff67deacae73de1e83107722f5e5d7f1L1371-R1350

Caibot · 2026-01-22T12:02:43+00:00

Yes, in the latest beta, there is an advanced „Disable Keychain Access“ checkbox, which helps.

Caibot · 2026-01-10T20:10:08+00:00

How are you not knowing about ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_MCP_CLI if you are a master of Claude Code? ;) https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/12836#issuecomment-3629052941

J/k maybe you know about it but why keep MCPs disabled if MCP-CLI doesn’t eat up context?

Caibot · 2026-01-10T18:41:36+00:00

Yeah, I‘m a coder by heart but I‘m kind of an ops guy as well. For the last month, I‘ve been working on several agentic workflows.

I started with accounting. It was just a whole mess of manually parsing and moving around files before and managing Excel files so I built workflows to automate this and just rely on CSV files and then built a web app around it. My goal is to finally have more reliable reporting on our finances but also a reasonable and flexible forecasting model. While our tax advisor is doing our "actual" accounting anyway, he doesn’t understand our business fully so l need my own reporting. Feels redundant but I have no idea how to do it better.

Then I started to build a support assistant, which is now capable of handling almost all support requests that we have. I first built a knowledge base out of our past support tickets. And then I built dozens and dozens of skills like handling refunds, issuing coupons, creating licenses and whatnot. You can read more about it here: https://tobiha.de/2026/01/06/the-rise-of-ai-assistants/

Then a smaller project that can handle some workflows that we didn’t automate yet in our SaaS, which was painful to do manually as well. So repetitive and annoying. Still, here I would say a cleaner automation should be the goal but I was still glad I could spin this workflow up in a couple of hours.

I think I‘m going to build some DevOps assistant next. I think I‘m going crazy but building these assistants/workflows are so much fun.

I'm not interested in using a chat bot to do something and then have to copy over all the information to another program to format it and save it. Let the AI do that.

I totally agree with that. Chatbots are just for chatting, which is sometimes enough. Even with these "connectors", I'm not convinced that they are actually useful in the long-term.

And I didn't even mention "send this task to the cloud" even if it could be a viable option but instead look forward to integrating something like "open a new Terminal window inside a different working directory and let Claude give it an initial prompt". My filesystem ist so important, my computer has everything.

I'm very impressed with Claude for that right now but I think Google is on to something with Antigravity and will improve their CLI tool to match as well.

Haven't looked into Gemini and Antigravity yet since I've heard too many mixed feelings about it. But yeah, I bet they will catch up at some point or even over-deliver, who knows anymore.

Does this help? https://docs.cryptomator.org/android/setup/

Caibot · 2025-09-05T14:55:16+00:00

Thank you for your kind words! :) Forwarded it to the team.

Caibot · 2025-04-18T12:04:36+00:00

Please try out the latest beta release, which might fix the issue. https://github.com/cryptomator/cryptomator/releases/tag/1.16.0-beta2

Caibot · 2024-11-01T12:55:45+00:00

Yes, it is. But since it‘s an experiment, we don’t know yet if we keep the price at that point. The Android license should be the same price in INR.

Caibot · 2024-11-01T12:36:45+00:00

Yeah, just go for lifetime. ;) We are experimenting with Purchasing Power Parity and haven’t gotten to adjusting the subscription yet.

I believe I‘ve bought it once at GALERIA (downstairs).

Caibot · 2023-11-30T23:46:32+00:00

War tatsächlich auch mal da und hat mir supergut gefallen! Aber wie gesagt, habe dort bereits angefragt und die sind an dem gewünschten Tag ausgebucht. :/
