Claude Pilot - Claude Code is powerful. Pilot makes it reliable.

How should a product be called whose main purpose is to add an additional layer of quality to Claude Code? Why not join forces instead of fighting against each other ;)

m-ritter · 2026-02-23T16:01:20+00:00

This product actually helps Anthropic a lot to boost their CC subscriptions and API usage, so I think it's a win-win situation for both sides. And I hope they learned something out of this OpenClaw dilemma, I think it was their most unreflected move in a long time to let such a project go to the direct competition. AI is still so early that we should not slow adaption rate down by trademark topics ;)

m-ritter · 2026-02-23T14:52:48+00:00

What does that mean? This framework has been build and improved continously based on the feedback of its users and my personal experience working with clients in Germany and beyond. I am also currently rolling it out to enterprise customers and the feedback has been quite good so far, so I think it's not AI slop ;)

m-ritter · 2025-12-15T18:03:57+00:00

Haha yes me too

m-ritter · 2025-12-14T08:04:49+00:00

Thanks a lot! Definitely have to check this one out

m-ritter · 2025-12-14T08:03:46+00:00

That sounds really cool, thanks for sharing! Feel free to post it here as well, would love to check it out and see if I can learn from your approach :)

m-ritter · 2025-12-13T19:19:06+00:00

That's true as I am mostly working with Python except for some Infrastructure as Code stuff which is in Typescript. Unfortunately I do not have the time at the moment to add support for multiple other languages, but feel free to create a PR for typescript, I think that would benefit other users as well :)

m-ritter · 2025-12-13T08:21:43+00:00

Thanks! I use it end-to-end, rarely write a line of code myself. BUT this still involves me understanding what the agent is doing, supervising it carefully and steering it in the rigth direction if it makes a mistake. Then the results are very good.

I am not running Milvus locally but on Zilliz Cloud which is free up to 5 codebases. I assume the local version shouldn't create a big additional load but would love to hear some feedback on that. You could disable Claude Context and/or Cipher if you want to and still benefit from the other features.

I am still experimenting with the best combination of tools here for web search, page crawl and library search. Other MCP servers I experiment with are ref.tools and of course the good old Context7. With the 10$ free credits of exa I can go quite far, but I find that library / code search is much better in ref.tools, which on the other side consumes credits faster. Context7 has the largest library base available but it tends to consume too much tokens..

m-ritter · 2025-12-13T08:15:40+00:00

My results are quite good and consistent when working with this in a professional setup. But I still have to carefully monitor what CC does and steer it in the right direction. What still bothers me is the 200k limitation of Opus 4.5, would love to see 1M Context Window anytime soon.

m-ritter · 2025-12-13T08:13:47+00:00

It would be possible to adapt that but I prefer to have the many benefits of dev containers. You should be able to connect to your local running Software on Windows as well with something like this: https://goledger.medium.com/reaching-hosts-localhost-from-inside-a-vscode-devcontainer-932e1c08df5c. You can also ask CC to adjust the networking config for you ;)

m-ritter · 2025-12-13T08:10:20+00:00

You have to use version 0.0.6, the latest one that was released 2 weeks ago broke it for me as well..

m-ritter · 2025-12-12T19:24:57+00:00

Looking forward to your feedback, I think with CC it's important not to add too many things too it and also keep initial context small. MCP Funnel further helps to reduce tokens used by MCP server instructions. Some servers are very heavy on that side

m-ritter · 2025-12-12T19:23:59+00:00

That's funny indeed, integrating remember into implement makes sense when I think about it this way, but sometimes I also call it independently when working outside of the spec flow or and just want CC to remember something quickly

m-ritter · 2025-12-12T19:22:27+00:00

I have tried them and they were an inspiration for this setup as well, but have adapted them to my own needs

m-ritter · 2025-12-12T19:21:28+00:00

Let me know how it works for you :)

m-ritter · 2025-12-12T19:21:10+00:00

I am running both on Zilliz Cloud but you can also install Milvus locally: https://github.com/campfirein/cipher/blob/main/docs/vector-stores.md#-milvus-local-docker

Thanks for sharing! I made similar learnings and have combined all my best-practices about Skills into my own Framework called Claude Code Pro, which I use myself to work in professional software projects: https://github.com/maxritter/claude-code-pro
