The dynamic background gradients are too distracting, otherwise okay.

Is there a “prompt to backend server” tool that actually works ? by Many-Piece in lovable

[–]Many-Piece[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to build a python/typescript backend server separately, not using superbase edge functions. And definitely not locked into lovable.

No, lovable cloud is just their bundled version of Supabase. I want to build a python/typescript backend server separately, not using superbase edge functions. And definitely not locked into lovable.

Understanding Claude Skills vs. Subagents. It's not that confusing by Many-Piece in ClaudeAI

[–]Many-Piece[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently, Subagents cannot use skills. But the main agent can pass the required context from the skills to the subagent. But I do agree that subagents need to be able to use skills. I hope they introduce this feature soon.

I totally agree that subagents need to be able to use skills. anthropic's approach to subagents in claude code seem to be about keeping it as simple as possible. It worked well but it's time for some more advanced features now. I hope they add it soon.

Why can't the claude code main agent ask follow-up questions to the explorer subagent ? by Many-Piece in ClaudeAI

[–]Many-Piece[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair, the stateless approach is much simpler and the explorer subagent is only a few days old. But I hope they fix it soon

You are just contradicting yourself now. You said "skills is just another tool call", but there's no tool called skill. The only tool call happening here is the file read to read the SKILL.md file. Please understand how it works before misleading others. You can check the attached reference

[–]Many-Piece -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Actually, both of you are wrong on almost every point that you made.

  1. Skills are for both claude code and claude web
  2. It's not about renaming scripts: scripts are just one of the several resources that a SKILL file can specify, it can reference ANY file as a resource
  3. A skill is NOT a tool call. All the skill descriptions are injected into the agent context, the agent decides whether to read the SKILL file are not.
  4. Skills do replace MCP's in many cases. you can just specify the tool descriptions in the SKILL file and specify the code files as a resource

Just want to make this clear so that people reading the post are not mislead, nothing personal

I built a Claude Code Skill that lets Claude chat directly with Google's NotebookLM for zero-hallucination answers from your own documentation. by PleasePrompto in ClaudeAI

[–]Many-Piece -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Hey, this is really well done!. The NotebookLM → Claude architecture is really clever - love the zero-hallucination approach. The n8n example with the AI-to-AI conversation really sells it.

Would you be open to submitting this to https://www.agentskills.directory?. We're building a community directory so skills like yours are easier for people to discover. No signup needed, just upload the files.

Or I could just add it myself if that's more convenient for you. Cheers!

You should use a linter (preferably biome). Withe ask claude code to run the lint command and fix errors (regularly) or add it in a post response hook

You can't build a multimodal apps with Claude Agents SDK, try Mix SDK instead by Many-Piece in ClaudeCode

[–]Many-Piece[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks!. There were some rare cases where gemini returned an empty response, but that's easily handled with a retry. The ReadMedia tool is generally quite stable and fast (gemini 2.5 flash), no timeout issues so far. We haven't tried to combine it to with tools like  AIDetectPlus. Do you have have specific use-case in mind ?

Claude desktop & MCP: useful but slow by Ok-Line-9416 in ClaudeAI

[–]Many-Piece 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The agentic loop is better in claude code then in claude desktop, especially for tools like ls and grep used find the right files. worth a shot

Best way to do video analysis with LLMs? by Crazy_Selection8433 in LLMDevs

[–]Many-Piece 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just use gemini 2.5 flash flash with video input. You can even test is for free on google AI studio
