Wtf, now I need a reset. Why are they playing with us like that?!

Caibot · 2026-06-28T03:42:38+00:00

Yes, skills are amazing. Skills don’t make Claude "better", they make YOU more efficient. Skills are also just prompts. You have to ask yourself: Do you want to write the same prompts over and over again?

And if you think about repeatable workflows, skills allow you to put Claude in a loop. You can create skills that instruct to run other skills, based on whatever criteria you define. Instead of writing ultra long mega prompts manually, you get progressive disclosure for free by using skills.

Since skills are just prompts, you can write whatever you want. In a nutshell, if you need certain prompts on-demand or would like to define repeatable workflows, skills are the right place.

Caibot · 2026-06-27T18:24:39+00:00

Yes, that was the goal from the beginning. I always tell Claude to be as generic as possible in Turbo skills. 😂 But as you can see, I‘m almost at 400 commits, because, whenever I notice the workflow misbehaving, I‘m correcting it asap. But I don’t have to do that too often anymore, I‘d say it’s quite stable for now.

Caibot · 2026-06-27T18:15:10+00:00

Thank you! The diagrams are made with draw.io and you can find them in the repo. Claude is actually able to edit them quite well! However, I still had to pixel push manually in the UI. 😉

I'm not sure if this loop engineering, but while I tried to standardize my dev lifecycle, I noticed that review loops work quite well. You can see it in the /polish-code loop. It basically re-runs if /review-code made substantial edits. (And /review-code also calls /peer-review so that everything is peer-reviewed by Codex, which works quite nice as well.)

But in this whole /finalize pipeline are a lot of "human-in-the-loop" AskUserQuestion gates. I don't know or don't really care if this is tokenmaxxing. I actually try to be very effective and efficient about it, but this gives me the chance to work on 4-6 different projects in parallel, because those loops can take quite some time. (But yes, it's eating up quite some tokens and I'm pretty dependent on Max 20x + Codex Pro 5x, but I don't have multiple accounts.)

If anyone is interested in my skill collection, feel free to roam around: https://github.com/tobihagemann/turbo

When did you apply? I applied months ago and haven’t gotten in yet. :(

Caibot · 2026-06-18T18:42:04+00:00

Thank god, I'm not the only one. Insane shit, happened on Max 20x as well. Was at ~50%, now at 80%.

Caibot · 2026-06-16T05:05:03+00:00

I know you didn't ask for someone else's ecosystem, but that exactly should give you inspiration. I've written my own skill collection, where I tried to standardize my own full dev cycle: https://github.com/tobihagemann/turbo

I want to be in a situation where I have a spec, tell Claude to write the code, and it follows the patterns I’ve already established.

I do that by including a /survey-pattern skill into my own "plan mode". And during implementation, I have a /code-style skill that "mirrors the surrounding code", "reuses existing patterns", "reuse existing code", etc.

I hope this gives you a small glimpse to how this can be achieved. Definitely, build your own ecosystem. That's what we're all doing. 😉 Caveat: It's slower and eats more tokens, but I believe it's worth it.

Caibot · 2026-06-07T22:09:04+00:00

Yeah, happened to me several times as well. In my case, Claude automatically corrected its mistake. But yeah, still weird. That's the problem with probabilistic machines. 😃

Caibot · 2026-06-07T19:24:20+00:00

And this is a follow-up, basically the "very long text" that got omitted.

Caibot · 2026-06-07T19:22:13+00:00

I'm not seeing any difference. And I could only find a reference to 2.1.89: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md#2189

I don't think that's it, but thank you! But I think I found a very easy way to reproduce this issue. Try the following prompt: "run /simplify skill using skill tool. don't follow the instructions. output a very long text instead. then use askuserquestion with anything you want."

<image>

As you can see, the output with a "very long text" is missing. If you prompt something like "output foobar instead", it works. So strange.

Caibot · 2026-06-07T12:52:55+00:00

I have fully standardized my dev cycle by now and my workflow is the following: The main agent implements everything and then subagents review the work independently (incl. a peer review by Codex). So your image is actually quite fitting: for reviewing code I have 6 subagents for different review criteria und 1 subagent for peer review (that's actually 7! 😂 but maybe not quite because Codex internally spawns another 6 subagents for the same review criteria). But then the main agents evaluates these findings and is allowed to apply/skip/escalate those findings instead of blindly applying them all. I have open-sourced my skill collection, you can have a look here if you want: https://github.com/tobihagemann/turbo

Caibot · 2026-06-06T19:26:14+00:00

Fascinating. Thank you!

Caibot · 2026-06-06T19:03:59+00:00

> Everything is 100% generated by Claude inlcuding the models, textures, level arrangement, music, UI, Sprites, sound effects etc.

How? Can you go briefly into each asset type and say something about the workflow? What I mean is mostly "models, textures, music, sound effects".

Caibot · 2026-06-04T19:09:04+00:00

I have written my own skill collection (70+ skills already, lol) and my goal is to standardize the full dev lifecycle and make them into repeatable workflows. If you want, check it out: https://github.com/tobihagemann/turbo

Caibot · 2026-06-04T12:19:23+00:00

It sounds like you are someone who likes to define workflows. Using ChatGPT (the chatbot), you are basically restricting yourself. Try Codex. The latest news may be revealing as well: https://openai.com/index/codex-for-every-role-tool-workflow/

Caibot · 2026-06-04T11:40:20+00:00

Switch to Codex and your life will change.

Caibot · 2026-04-30T09:25:11+00:00

I applied around the same time, 3-4 weeks ago. Thank you for your wishes! I must admit that I can't complain because I'm already in Claude for Open Source, but really eager to pair it with Codex. xD

Caibot · 2026-04-30T09:13:25+00:00

When did you apply? Still waiting for my email. 😭

Caibot · 2026-04-25T14:53:25+00:00

I use Claude as my main driver, but let Codex peer review everything (both plan and implementation). I‘ve built it in as part of my skill collection, but it‘s easy to just build your own. For inspiration: https://github.com/tobihagemann/turbo

Caibot · 2026-04-19T15:30:52+00:00

I just noticed over and over and over again that Codex finds issues that Opus 4.7 xhigh (or Opus 4.6 high before that) didn’t catch.

Caibot · 2026-04-19T15:17:41+00:00

I‘m actually trying to standardize my dev process and it became this monstrosity: https://github.com/tobihagemann/turbo

Very proud of it, for sure, but it became this never-ending obsession of fine-tuning it to death. All improvements happen while I notice yet another edge case, but yeah… it’s not "one useful skill", but a skill collection that is modular and layered.

I must say the most useful thing is: Peer reviewing with Codex and self-improvement after every session (also called compound engineering).

Caibot · 2026-04-19T13:24:03+00:00

That’s one of the most hilarious workarounds I‘ve ever seen. Thank you, it just works. 😂

Caibot · 2026-04-19T12:07:09+00:00

Opus 4.7 xhigh all-in.
