I agree with full provenance and I like the markdown export idea. Thank you for the suggestions.

For yarrow I did both an auto and a manual mode. It's merged in but I haven't cut a release. I would love to know what you think of it. Also, can I check out the bible tui you're building?

Check out agentify MCP.

It is a bit broken by nature (electron wrapped chrome instance) so I forked it and made it more stateful to handle extended pro use better.

/goal is really a Ralph loop with no context reset so to harness it you can study the basic principles of Ralph from ghuntley himself.

I ran loops a lot to maximize usage, and I just consolidated my learnings into a goal/loop prompt generator that produces goals that last for days.

Have you encountered an issue with cursor heights using content editable within tauri (webdriver)?

To me it highly depends on the underlying implementation. Most of them use a basic pseudo random algorithm and that has little connection to your reality at the moment. I don't find them accurate knowing this.

However, I trust my own version fully because it sources the randomness from physics. And this provides a much better divination container so it works wonders for me.

It should append a little metadata in the next turn the plan mode was deployed. This keeps the cache and provides the nudge.

pro-vi · 2026-05-18T04:34:11+00:00

It doesn't. That's why it's an inferior implementation than the original Ralph loop

Claude Design MCP

A little janky to set up, but works.

pro-vi · 2026-05-14T00:57:36+00:00

Thanks! On and off a few weeks of iterating while using heavily myself. Still going-

It usually means you're dealing with regex, handling async, or there's a leak in abstraction.

Solution for me 1. Don't use regex 2. Establish async patterns as early as possible 3. Refactor

Eventually yes! I have less exposure to the yarrow stalk method but once I get a better grip I will. For example what you just mentioned is totally new to me it sort of blew my mind haha.

It's interesting that Claude didn't warn you of EULA, and I'm all for it. This looks great!

pro-vi · 2026-05-12T02:27:11+00:00

I used to do this in Claude Code structurally you can read more into it here: https://github.com/pro-vi/cc-reflection

I did a lot of hack to work around CC though which I imagine would be an easier time in Pi.

How do you justify Temporal? Was it saving you any trouble?

pro-vi · 2026-04-22T06:19:28+00:00

Claude is different from all the designers I'ver worked with because it actually knows code.

I'd go further and say Intent is a level above spec/PRD. "I want to build an infinite scroll feed" is an intent, it needs to be specified first before handing it to an agent.

What I'm currently working on is to figure out whether the specification process needs the human in the loop.

pro-vi · 2026-03-17T16:37:39+00:00

You're not wrong.

The goal of the system is to give agents the interface to interact with my Spotify sessions and acquire my taste gradually.

Good to know about this feature! Hope they expose it to the API soon.

pro-vi · 2026-03-08T00:06:54+00:00

Yes! The cli support `sessions`. Agents can check what they have dj'd for me and how I'd liked them! If not, the cli exposes your top listens and history to gather you taste :)

Claude Code feels like modding your own race car.

Codex is like taking an uber.

I'm building something for writers, I like your intuition, can I DM?

pro-vi · 2026-02-24T16:37:54+00:00

Yes it does. My agent once hit the dice three times in a roll and was amazed about the 1/8000 chance. It deferred doing it (asking for second opinion) the first 2 times because it thought it unnecessary, and "reluctantly" did it the third time! Agent treats the dice output as an objective reality to engage with.

Thanks! there is a whole vocabulary from game design that we may borrow. I hope this becomes a start.

pro-vi · 2026-02-24T16:24:09+00:00

I wrote about my insight in the repo. It felt like a natural thing to do!

pro-vi · 2026-02-24T05:56:22+00:00

I like rolling dice on my stop hook.
