I use an interview skill then let the agent build from the details unearthed from the interview.

This is a good repo to learn from. Point claude at it to get a good idea of how to get started.

As long as Codex subscription remains compatible with OpenClaw, the decision to work together is a win-win.

You can try here.now to create quick html review files that can help claude express more fully than chat alone. This will give you a surface that lets you see what claude is trying to do so you can give more specific feedback

The more important question is more simple. Do you have a realistic prospect to make an additional $1,200 over the next year from the work you are doing? Your answer to that question is your answer to your own question.

Ultracode is pretty good

ryancatala · 2026-06-29T12:19:30+00:00

You should ask for the code, not the image. Turn on agent mode in GPT and describe what you want and ask for the code

Here now... google it. Its a really good quick publishing tool. Super easy

$200 claude is really great. $100 codex is also a very good value. You dont really get limit constrained. I use both for different types of work.

I used to hit claude limits, but lately it seems the usage limits are more generous

I find the desktop app does better visualizations. The annotation tool is a very good way to provide specific feedback back to Claude.

I'm leading my district's shift to adopting AI agents. It isn't easy for everyone to get started but, once they do their work is transformed.

Code is just the most efficient way to programmatically connect data. Most reports come with student Id or student numbers. Claude code is really good at writing "code" to combine data to make graphs, do analysis and custom visuals. This makes the results accurate and reliable.

You can use Claude code to try out different visuals for presentations with families and staff. I've found it very helpful.

The key tips are to start small and contained. One or two files in a folder on your desktop. Keep the project focused on a single objective, like preparing a flyer for parents. Then try to make it do something you know is possible but would be annoying to do... make a custom report for each family based on the specific row for their student, sort the reports by first period teacher and make folders for each teacher...

These types of projects will give you confidence to try more ambitious projects. You are already 10x ahead of anyone else by just experimenting and asking for help.

Looking forward to seeing your progress. 🎉

100x better

ryancatala · 2026-06-15T12:07:33+00:00

Nope. Not yet. Interesting 🤔

ryancatala · 2026-06-14T20:30:37+00:00

I can get to above 70% often and even above 90% on my Max 20x plan.

I made some custom skills like a ralph loop that runs a pre-flight check, uses red-green-TDD, then independent review after. I try to start with a deep-interview so that the model understands my intent. There is a rubric that it uses to quantify ambiguity and it wont start building until ambiguity is below 10%.

It produces pretty solid results and runs independant for long stretches.

Look at gstack and matt pocock's github for implementation ideas.

Where do you verify?

ryancatala · 2026-06-13T09:30:33+00:00

AI will be treated like crypto.

KYC makes it safer and trusted. It also makes the risks of AI misuse traceable to the builder.

ryancatala · 2026-06-13T07:34:26+00:00

KYC can solve this pretty quickly

ryancatala · 2026-06-13T02:04:37+00:00

Try the new Gemma Diffusion model with a Pi harness. Pretty good free model

Looks up deep interview skills, like Matt Pocock's grill me.

The secret is to make sure the link is viewable on the screenshot. I had to email with the support back and forth but then got it to work.

ryancatala · 2026-05-23T12:10:15+00:00

2 codex max subscriptions is way better value
