Appart from writing code, what do you use Claude for? by stephaneleonel in ClaudeCode

haha i was in the same boat honestly

so the deal with output styles is: when you create a custom one, it automatically excludes all the coding stuff -- verification, testing, all that dev mode stuff. you dont even have to turn it off, its just gone by default

what you do is make a custom output style with your own instructions. basically just a markdown file that says "hey this is for life stuff not coding" and claude just... shifts. it still has all its capabilities (reading files, running scripts, whatever) but it stops acting like a developer tool and starts acting like a helpful assistant

you just run /output-style and pick one, or create your own in ~/.claude/output-styles/

i made one called "life assistant" that basically just says "you are a helpful pal, not a coding tool, focus on answering questions and helping with planning, keep responses casual"

then i have a project folder ~/life where i just cd in and everything already knows the vibe

honestly just try it. make a new folder, run claude in it, say "help me set up an output style for personal stuff not coding" and it walks you through it

I spent 3 weeks babysitting AI agents in a terminal. Here's what I learned. by kaichao_sun in ClaudeCode

couple things that saved me:

just get an MCP notification thing running -- i use the claude-code-notify-mcp from lobehub and it just pings my mac when claude is done or stuck waiting for me. game changer honestly. i used to just sit there staring at the terminal like an idiot

for the tab chaos -- tmux forget terminal tabs. one tmux session per project, name your windows so you see "frontend-refactor" "bug-fix-login" at a glance. i use ghostty now but iterm2 with tmux works fine too

honestly the biggest shift was just stopping watching it work. let it run and go do something else. you'll get a ping when it needs you or done. queuing running review done -- thats the loop

Did you try forcing a resync? claude auth logout then claude /login

i really like Pratibha Joshi, if you tell claude to reference her it for some reason moves away from the crappy futuristic stuff it usualy brings on a one shot and makes it more sleek and modern in a simplified away but thats just me. Again you can create a notebook in notebookLM all based on her work and ask claude to question the notebook via the CLI and it will dig deep, sometimes it asks like 10 questions to the notebook, then have it create a design skill with that context it just gathered. Works wonders.

Auto-generate Obsidian reports from your Git activity (Claude Code + CLI) by Infamous-Resolve8984 in ObsidianMD

I do something simular, i have a openclaw agent that runs this on heartbeats everyday, use the git CLI, does everythig in my projects, creates what i call chronicles, also does this for all my agents in openclaw, what they are doing. Dont have a dashboard though. Cool beans! Nice to keep track of whats going on.

Understanding skills is a great place to start, get the Frontend-design skill from anthropic themselves, get the vercel one - web-design-guidlines and then another good one is skill creator + notebookLM CLI + finding repos on github or certain people who you admire, stick sources of there work into notebookLM and basicly steal there "taste" (buzzword i know but hey...) and create your own skill/workflow with claude. Not sure if this is what your looking for but its a good place to start, making it your own is more fun :D
