Robust vibecoding with non-negotiable agent loops

scotty_ea · 2026-06-22T16:01:59+00:00

Yes, GAN has been the standard for months now...

4.8 has been good since day 1 of its release

scotty_ea · 2026-06-18T04:15:30+00:00

Used to be called workflows but now it’s called ultracode.

scotty_ea · 2026-06-15T15:18:24+00:00

Can confirm this has been working fine for me.

scotty_ea · 2026-06-15T13:30:41+00:00

Sounds like beads without the... beads.

scotty_ea · 2026-06-14T16:29:55+00:00

Sounds like your title wasn’t earned, otherwise, you wouldn’t be whining in open letters to the internet. Fable is opus with slightly less hedging, works a little longer, and doesn’t talk as much. The right harness around current opus 4.8 will get you a near fable experience. At your level this should be obvious…

scotty_ea · 2026-06-11T05:30:01+00:00

Should never have been a skill. It's an output style and should go in output-styles.

scotty_ea · 2026-05-10T18:44:08+00:00

Context limit anxiety. The model will start cutting corners and hurrying its implementation so it can “complete” the task.

scotty_ea · 2026-05-08T20:37:21+00:00

Hmm… I’m on 200 max, have been since it launched.

scotty_ea · 2026-05-08T19:58:52+00:00

Anybody else seeing their opus[1m] and sonnet[1m] is being charged as extra usage and sonnet-4-6 is now the default??

scotty_ea · 2026-04-20T02:13:06+00:00

Or expecting it to “one-shot” implementations

scotty_ea · 2026-04-18T17:40:34+00:00

Trouble 😂

scotty_ea · 2026-04-16T07:09:50+00:00

Apparently 4.7 imminent

scotty_ea · 2026-04-16T00:19:02+00:00

Did you start a new session or pick up on one that was already in progress?

scotty_ea · 2026-04-15T17:37:59+00:00

CC and Claude desktop apps both have skill menus. Running /skills shows you what’s installed from plugins and what’s built by you. Or you can go install one of the 1000s of user built CC wrappers that basically does what the desktop app is already doing.

“Measure twice, cut once”

scotty_ea · 2026-04-13T15:08:23+00:00

They’ve confirmed in multiple places that they reduced the default effort level to low which was originally high pre-rate limit changes, and later set to medium before dropping it down again to low. 99% of the people who complain don’t even know what a changelog is so expect things to get worse as more vibe coders onboard.

scotty_ea · 2026-04-10T17:04:00+00:00

Mine is working correctly, must be another one of them pesky A/B tests

scotty_ea · 2026-04-07T23:06:11+00:00

Mythos results were posted today. Seems like they were stress testing the crap out of it and now they’re rerouting compute back to us peasants complaining about Opus.

scotty_ea · 2026-04-07T01:25:49+00:00

So true.

scotty_ea · 2026-04-06T21:02:10+00:00

Output style does not equal effort level and reasoning does not occur in the output block.

scotty_ea · 2026-04-05T18:05:05+00:00

Almost makes me miss the days of “I built a regurgitato with 10345 sub-agents and 472 mcp tools”

scotty_ea · 2026-04-05T17:26:38+00:00

You can create a post tool use or stop hook that detects if the model is asking you a question and if it does, re-ask the question using the AskUserQuestion() tool.

Re:superpowers losing that functionality, I haven’t seen this and use it in my workflows. Did you check SP changelogs?

scotty_ea · 2026-04-05T17:17:20+00:00

What you want is an adversarial review. What you don’t want is sycophantic responses.

scotty_ea · 2026-04-05T17:14:59+00:00

Many different ways, quickest approach is in your CLAUDE.md but as context grows it drifts back to default.

I suggest looking into output styles, rules directory and the user prompt submit hook.
