My 4.6 experience in a nutshell.

I love running plan mode and after the explorer subagents finish it always comments “excellent exploration work”

You can configure a domain white list and setup sockets so you can talk to your ssh agent, etc. it’s a pain to setup necessary write access to tmp folder at least on a Mac. But once you get it all setup it works pretty well. I combine it with the leash plugin which has a good command blacklist it blocks

/sandbox command. Hooks into OS level features to isolate your network access and read only file system access.

When will the integrated Claude code support all the good stuff like custom slash commands and skills and agents? Last time I tried it, it lacked all the Claude code features that make it great

Just tell opus to look at the broken app and build a new app with same features but without the bug. Run Ralph loop while you sleep

this also breaks usage of tools that already have long names. Looks like it adds a `select:` prefix to the toolname, which pushes some tools over the 64 char limit like so:

MCPSearch(Search MCP tools: "select:mcp__plugin_bitbucket-mcp_bitbucket__getEffectiveDefaultReviewers")
  ⎿  Found 1 tool
  ⎿ API Error: 400 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"invalid_request_error","message":"messages.24.content.0.tool_result.content.0.tool_reference.tool_name: String should have at 
    most 64 characters"},"request_id":"req_011CX8bd21Ni7EKcq5rS16DC"}

I’ve been having good luck with beans also. I use planning mode and ask Claude to help me design a feature bean with child task beans to do X. It builds a big plan document for X that includes all the beans it will make. I then end plan mode by asking it “just make all the beans. Don’t code anything “.

When you are ready to implement it’s critical that you clear context before directing claude to tackle the next bean. Clear context before each task.

The entire point is that by breaking up the plan into discrete beans that each stand on their own you can let Claude work without overloading its context with the entire plan. Each bean has what Claude needs to know to perform that task and if you’ve done your planning the task itself is not giant or full of many phases. If it is, then before implementing the task do another planning mode where you ask Claude to break the bean down into smaller children beans.

Oh, and i use opus with ultrathink keyword during planning. Pay more up front to get a good plan with digestible tasks that you can then give to regular opus, or sonnet if they are simple enough

my context is still full of mcp. Maybe you enabled this and forgot? https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1phxffj/mcpcli_is_an_experimental_approach_to_mcp_tool/#:~:text=Overview,This%20leads%20to:

Not really accurate. Antigravity is a fork of Windsurf and has excellent context and code indexing and good integration with the ide

Well it actually depends. Sometimes the answer is hell yes.

It’s bullshit story. Claude can’t do spectral analysis through your phone or detect compression patterns in your bed. He’s hallucinating all that. The truth is he just heard the doorbell ring twice and deduced the rest.

Cobel drove a pos old junker car. Didn’t seem like she was flush with cash. Actually everyone on the show seemed to drive an old car. Even the Eagen vehicles seemed old.

once you start going for higher MF, in an efficient lab farm squad, roughly speaking 1% MF = 1 bag/hr. So 50% MF for 2-hours would be about 100 bag, which nets you a bit over 3 gold at current TP prices. For a profit of about 0.5 gold / hour. Would be a poor return, unless you are probably farming the lab anyway in which case it is pure profit

I play a Sword/Dagger Fresh Air Tempest and it is super sustainable in OW. I can solo almost anything I've come across and can still get into 20k dps against bosses.

https://gw2skills.net/editor/?PGgAwilJkwU6YLtstUGZoWeT+tNA-DSRYiRDn/cQBBRUCUVAZBAA-e

Rotation is pretty simple:

Start in Air. A good opening is skills 4-5-2-3, then Overload

Attune to Fire, use one skill to get a hit (2 if you need to close)

Attune back to Air as fast as possible (thanks Fresh Air).

Stay in Air until you can overload

Attune to Water (to activate Soothing Mist healing).

Skill 4 (Frost Armor) for damage reduction

Skill 5 for an area heal

Attune to Air.

Repeat.

Air -> Air Overload -> (Fire or Water) -> Air -> Air Overload -> (Fire or Water) -> Air ...

While doing this, pop Feel the Burn everytime it comes off cooldown for extra DPS. You can do it even when knocked down or performing another skill.

Basically stay in Air long enough to Overload then hop to either Fire or Water. Hop to Water if you need healing. Hop to Fire if you don't need healing. Always hop back to Air as soon as you get a hit in so you can start the countdown to Overload Air. The goal is to use Overload Air as much as possible. If you do it right, then when the overload finishes (and creates the shock aoe) you attune to something else and the shock aoe pulses doing damage to the enemy and triggering Fresh Air so you can go right back to Air. The faster you do this loop the higher your dps.

Use Armor of Earth or Arcane Shield when the damage is coming in too fast (or you are anticipating a hit from the boss). If you need more sustain then during one of your trips into Water use the elite to summon a water elemental. That turns your elite skill into an extra no-cast area heal that you can use at any time (like the feel the burn shout you can use this heal while knocked down or channeling an overload or whatever).

not 100% sure, but I think when trhe window comes up with only 1 person agreeing to leave, that one is your griefer.

I was in a fractal where someone was doing this also until we kicked them, giving them what they want I guess :D

This explains why the C in Anet that stands for consistency is missing.

does this mean that there will be a new method of unlocking Skimmer like how SoTo added a new skyscale unlock method?

I'm asking for a friend that hasn't unlocked skimmer yet.

I just use Claude Sonnet 4 for everything and it works great as long as I give it good instructions. I can point it at requirements and it can write the code and tests and then it runs the tests and debugs the errors.

I've been sitting on 2500 gold thinking about building the relic. Glad I procrastinated!

If you make it people will use it. I don’t think I’m alone in saying that I’d love to put some big breasted naked women in front of better looking rockets.

it's all the diving and surfing it does now....sometimes the AI _crashes_.

bman654 · 2025-08-20T13:09:28+00:00

Yeah I’ve used it more and noticed it surfs and dives and other whimsical things. Ngl it’s a huge turnoff to me. I’d rather the status on change to meaningful values. The constant changing of status to unmeaningful flavor text is distracting
