I built 10 gamified, interactive presentation decks using Claude Code to teach Agentic AI (Stop falling asleep reading whitepapers).

Hey everyone, I've noticed a massive gap in how developers are trying to learn Agentic AI right now. There are hundreds of theoretical whitepapers and boring PowerPoint decks about ReAct loops, GraphRAG, and Semantic Routing. The problem is passive reading. You read a 20-page doc on multi-agent handoffs, close the tab, and immediately forget how the architecture actually works. So, I built a custom presentation engine directly into the AgentSwarms platform and just published 10 gamified, interactive slide decks. Here is how the learning loop works: Instead of just staring at static diagrams, the slides require you to interact with the concepts. You click to reveal logic paths, test your intuition on how an agent would route a specific prompt, and actively engage with the architecture. It uses active recall so the patterns actually stick in your brain before you ever touch a line of code. The decks cover everything from zero-to-production: The Basics: What a system prompt actually does, how RAG prevents hallucinations, and how tools give an LLM "hands." The Swarm: Building a 3-agent swarm, adding human-in-the-loop (HITL) approval gates, and deterministic routing logic. Production: Building multi-tenant RAG, cost-optimization, and shadow-mode LLM-as-a-Judge evals. It is completely free to read and play with the decks in the browser (no login or local setup required). I'd love for you to jump into one of the specialized deep-dive decks, click around, and let me know how this gamified learning loop feels compared to reading a standard Medium article!

EdgeModel

The idea: A platform where: Businesses can find specialized AI models (not general ChatGPT-style APIs) Developers can train and sell AI models optimized for specific business use cases Models are designed for edge deployment (low cost, offline, fast inference) Everything is focused on reducing AI API costs and improving performance for real business workflows Think: Instead of paying high API costs for generic AI businesses use smaller, optimized models tailored to their exact use case. (OCR, surveillance, retail analytics, automation, etc.) And developers earn money by: Selling trained models Offering optimized deployments Customizing models for businesses The problem I’m trying to solve: A lot of companies are: burning money on AI API calls struggling with latency and scaling costs unable to deploy AI models locally or efficiently relying on generic models that are not optimized for their workflows My question to you: Would businesses actually use something like this instead of just using OpenAI / APIs? If you are a developer, would you bother uploading/selling models like this? What would stop you from trusting or using a platform like this? Is this solving a real problem or does it sound unnecessary? Most importantly, would you personally sign up for something like this? I would much appreciate if I can get some honest feedback from you all! I’m not looking for validation, I want to know if this is actually needed in the market or just sounds good but won’t get real adoption. Appreciate any insights, especially from people who’ve built or used AI products in production. submitted by /u/ExiledFTW [link] [comments]

Built a free self-hosted web terminal interface for Claude Code CLI

https://github.com/HalfLucid/Claude-Code-Cli-WebTerminal I like using claude code CLI from my phone sometimes but I had issues with the method I was previously using (tailscale + termius) and decided to make something that works better for me. Sorry Windows only at the moment but feel free to fork/copy do whatever you want. I just wanted to share what I made in case someone else would like to use it too. Built this using claude code just specifying what I wanted If you do like it or have any feedback for things I should add let me know. Screenshots are in the github page. Would love to hear what you think. -- Browser-based terminal over WebSocket with persistent, multi-tab sessions. Built for running Claude Code from any device — including mobile. ASP.NET Core minimal API backend + xterm.js frontend. Connects your browser to a real PTY (pseudo-terminal) on the host machine. Features Persistent sessions — PTY stays alive through disconnects, screen sleep, network loss. Reconnect and pick up where you left off. Multi-tab — run multiple shells or Claude Code instances side by side with a tabbed interface. Claude Code integration — launch Claude Code directly into any configured project directory. Open new or resume existing sessions. Mobile-friendly — touch-optimized button overlay with configurable keys (Enter, arrows, Ctrl combos, Esc, Tab, etc.) and paginated layout. Native text input — uses a virtual text entry layer that preserves your device's autocomplete, swipe typing, dictation, and IME support. Edits are transparently bridged to the PTY, so the full mobile keyboard experience works naturally in the terminal. Session ring buffer — 256KB buffer replays recent output on reconnect so you never lose context. Basic auth — credentials set on first run, encrypted with Windows DPAPI. Startup toggle — optional Windows startup registration from the main screen. Configurable buttons — reorder built-in buttons, switch Claude model/effort, and create custom buttons that send any text to the terminal. Custom buttons can trigger slash commands (e.g. /review), full prompts (e.g. summarize all changes, commit, and create a pull request), or any terminal input. Usage PowerShell — click "PowerShell" on the main screen to open a shell tab Claude Code — add a project (name + directory), then use "Open Claude" or "Resume Claude" Tabs — use the + button to open more sessions, click tabs to switch Mobile — tap the arrow button on the right edge to expand the button overlay for touch-friendly input Remote access — access from other devices on your network at http:// :7681 (works great with Tailscale) Custom Buttons The button overlay on the right side is fully configurable via the Buttons settings on the main screen. Reorder — move any built-in button up or down to change its position Model / Effort — built-in popout buttons to switch Claude's model (opus, sonnet, haiku) or effort level Custom buttons — add your own buttons with a label and a command string Custom button commands are sent directly to the terminal as text input, so they work with anything the active shell or CLI accepts. Examples: Label Command What it does Review /review Triggers Claude Code's review skill Compact /compact Compresses Claude Code context Commit summarize all changes, commit, and create a pull request Full natural language prompt sent to Claude Code Status git status Runs a git command in a PowerShell tab submitted by /u/halflucids [link] [comments]

Created an on-device ML based photo organizing app - as a non-coder

I have a background in software product management but not coding. Love photography and started wondering if I can start leveraging some of the dedicated AI processing power on modern devices for photo library management. Used Claude Code to do this "use AI to build AI thing". Had it do research + code + optimization on the entire stack. I designed the features, UX and optimization goals. This is the second release of the app and I'm reaching 100+ photos/second on my iPhone 17PM, the previous version was 10+ photos/second. The new techniques turned out to be much more accurate as well. Note on tech: v1 relied on Apple Vision engine for quality + CLIP for subjects. Turned out if I just use CLIP for both it's much much faster. Learned to vibe code from scratch on this journey and I try to keep up with the best practices like skills & subagents. (What I notice is Anthropic tends to Sherlock a lot of stuff that third parties create, which is... convenient? For us users anyway) Used a MCP for Draw Things to have Claude Code generate the subject category photos. The MCP for Figma turned out to be pretty dissapointing, maybe I just wasn't using it right. Design got a lot better with Opus 4.6/4.7 + the frontend design skill. iOS dev seems to randomly eat up huge chunks of hard drive space, and Claude Code is not that great at culling the temp files etc even after I've built a /cleanup skill to explicitly do this. Anyway, enough ranting. Below is how the app works --- Step 1) You select up to three different subjects (8 built-in plus whatever keyword phrase you want, it understands relationship between subjects too such as "man walking dog"), fine-tune up to 7 quality parameters (or use a Technical / Aesthetic slider to move all 7 at once), and balance between subject or quality focused sort. Step 2) The photos that match your criteria well are surfaced to the top, use swiping actions to Pick or Discard them. Then you can save to album / share the picked ones or bulk delete the discarded ones. Different sort profile can be Bookmarked. There's also a bonus "Taste" profile that auto-learns from your picks and discards, which you can use or ignore (I'm continuing to make it work better, but obviously auto-learning user taste is hard). At the picking stage if you don't want to go through each photo one by one just use Autopick and they get divided to different buckets by score tiers. All on-device processing, completely private. --- Feedback would be very welcome on either the app or my process. Feel free to DM me for a lifetime free premium code.

How does a Claude Code agent navigate hundreds of skills in a second?

I asked my agent: "do an SEO audit on my Shopify store." It searched its skill library, 686 skills sitting in a vector database, in under a second and returned its top candidates. Five of the top seven were exactly what you'd want: seo-content (on-page strategy) seo-images (image optimization) seo-aeo-content-quality-auditor (answer-engine optimization) seo-content-auditor (content quality) indexing-issue-auditor (crawl/index issues) The other two were false matches, unrelated skills that triggered on the word "audit." Easy to filter. I never specified which skills to use. The agent picked them on its own. How this is wired Claude Code's default loading strategy is what Anthropic calls "progressive disclosure". At startup it reads only the name and short description of every skill into the system prompt, then reads the full body on demand when it decides to invoke a skill. That handles the body problem nicely. But it does not handle the index problem. The names and descriptions are loaded for every skill, every session, before any work starts. At 100 skills that costs ~5K tokens. At 1,000 it's 50K. The full 4,556-skill public community catalog overflows a 200K context window entirely. The semantic router pattern removes both costs. Each skill's name + description is embedded once into a vector store (mesh-memory in my case, Postgres + pgvector, MIT). At task time the agent runs ONE search against the indexed skills, pulls the top 5 candidates, and only reads the full SKILL.md body for the one it actually wants to use. Constant cost per task regardless of catalog size. Benchmark To check whether the picking is actually any good, I ran 8 diverse task queries (deploy docker, security audit, optimize SQL, build React TS, debug memory leak C++, CI/CD pipeline, stock market analysis, marketing email): Correct skill as TOP-1 result: 5/8 (62.5%) Right skill present in TOP-5: 7/8 (87.5%) Cosine similarity for top-1: 0.83-0.88 Latency: under 1 second per query The one consistent failure was the SQL-optimization query. The relevant skill (sql-optimization-patterns) existed in the corpus but did not land in the random 1,000-skill sample I indexed. Router accuracy is bounded by corpus depth, not by the search algorithm. Convergence curve (cumulative indexed -> top-1 / top-5): Indexed Strict top-1 Top-5 cluster 91 25% ~70% 177 43% ~85% 500 ~57% ~85% 686 62.5% 87.5% Top-5 saturates fast. Top-1 keeps climbing as exact-match skills surface. Full writeup with methodology, raw results, and a 70-line Python reproducer on the blog. Curious if anyone else has tried different embedders, I only tested intfloat/multilingual-e5-base. submitted by /u/Hungry_Management_10 [link] [comments]

pipeline is really slow - consulting [D]

Hi, after a long debugging process and many discussions, I wanted to ask for advice from people who may have encountered similar training bottlenecks. My goal is imitation learning for robotics. Model / Pipeline Observation space: 4 RGB robot cameras image resolution: 128x128x3 small vector of robot joint velocities (14 dims) Pipeline: Shared ResNet18 encoder processes each image Each image embedding dimension is 128 Final input to policy: 4 * 128 image embedding concatenated with 14-dim state vector Policy backbone: DiT (Diffusion Transformer) ~8 layers hidden dim: 512 8 attention heads total params: ~50M Diffusion setup: predict action chunks of length ~50 diffusion timesteps: 4 Dataset / Storage Dataset stored in Zarr Data access is indexed/reference-based (not loading huge chunks into RAM) train/val split is contiguous no shuffling Current encoder setup Initially trained end-to-end During debugging I switched to ImageNet pretrained ResNet18 Encoder is currently frozen Hardware / Software GPU: NVIDIA A4500 RAM: 48GB Storage: SSD CUDA: 12.8 PyTorch: 2.9 Precision: bf16 mixed precision (also tested fp32) Dataloader batch size: 2 8 persistent workers pinned memory enabled Preprocessing preprocessing is minimal normalization + float conversion only preprocessing happens inside the multimodal encoder on GPU Profiler results (PyTorch profiler) Current workload split: train_dataloader_next: 4.41s / 41.84s = 10.5% batch_to_device: 0.32s / 41.84s = 0.77% training_step: 12.78s = 30.5% backward: 10.83s = 25.9% optimizer_step (wrapper total): 26.09s = 62.4% Problem The training is much slower than I expected. Current behavior: CPU utilization: ~100% GPU utilization: ~20–30% GPU utilization can even become LOWER with synthetic data VRAM usage is relatively low Throughput is around 10 iterations/sec Epoch of ~50k samples takes around 30 minutes Additional observations Increasing batch size does NOT reduce epoch wall-clock time Sometimes larger batches make things slower Freezing the encoder did not improve throughput much Replacing dataset samples with synthetic/random tensors improved throughput by only ~50% Synthetic dataset was initialized directly in memory I do not believe this setup should be this slow. At this rate, training takes multiple days. For comparison, I saw papers with somewhat similar architectures mentioning ~10 hour training times on RTX 4090. With my setup 10 hours is completely not enough. Does anyone see something obviously wrong or have suggestions for where I should investigate next? Please help, can't know what to do! submitted by /u/Potential_Hippo1724 [link] [comments]

Claude saved my money today

My system was getting hanged and it was running slow since last few days. I was about to subscribe Lenovo's cleanup utility which had highlighted more than 20 issues on my system. But before subscribing it, I asked Claude to review it and Claude said clear no mentioning it a classic "scare and upsell" pattern common in PC optimizer software. It also guided me step by step to check the things on my pc and to fix it. Now my system is working very fine. I am using free version of Claude. submitted by /u/IntelligenceStack [link] [comments]

Anthropic's Claude gave me a "Safe Mode" batch script. It ran "del /f /s C:\*" and wiped my entire drive. Company says "we are not responsible."

I'm a software developer from Turkey. On May 22, 2026, I asked Claude to write a Windows optimization script. Claude produced a .bat file called "DevBoost v5.0" with different modes. I chose option 1: **"Balanced Optimization - Safe, won't touch system files."** I ran it as administrator. The script contained a critical string-parsing bug in the browser cache cleaning section. Here's the destructive code Claude generated: for %%B in ( "Chrome:%LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cache" "Edge:%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default\Cache" ) do ( for /f "tokens=1,2 delims=:" %%x in ("%%~B") do ( if exist "%%y:" ( del /q /f /s "%%y:*" >nul 2>&1 ) ) ) Because of the "delims=:" tokenization, `%%y` resolves to just **"C"** (the drive letter). The condition `if exist "C:"` is always true. So the script silently executed: del /q /f /s "C:*" **This command silently force-deleted EVERY SINGLE FILE on my C: drive.** Operating system files, all my projects (hundreds of Python, JavaScript, C++ source files), client work with approaching deadlines, personal documents, photos — everything. Folders still exist but are completely empty. My computer can no longer boot. No programs open. Not even Command Prompt works. I'm sending this from my phone. **Anthropic's response:** I contacted support@anthropic.com and usersafety@anthropic.com multiple times. Their final response, literally signed "This response was generated by Anthropic's AI agent Fin AI Agent," stated they take no responsibility. They refuse any refund, compensation, or even a genuine human acknowledgment of their AI's catastrophic safety failure. Their position: "Our Terms of Service say outputs may contain inaccuracies. You should have independently verified the code before running it." My question: Why does Claude label destructive code as "Balanced Optimization - Safe mode"? If it can't guarantee safety, why does it promise it? **Proof:** I have the complete chat log, the full script file, and all email correspondence with Anthropic's support team. I'm happy to provide everything to moderators. **Update:** I am also filing complaints with the FTC (US Federal Trade Commission) and the Turkish Consumer Arbitration Board today. Don't let their "Safe Mode" labels fool you. Please share this so others don't lose years of work like I did. UPDATE — May 23, 2026: I have now filed official complaints with: US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) — Report #202036054 Turkish Consumer Arbitration Board — Application #2026/0245.3885 Both governments are now officially investigating Anthropic's role in this AI safety failure. Anthropic still refuses to take any responsibility. submitted by /u/falleennn [link] [comments]

How to optimize Claude Cowork.

Hi everyone. My issue is : I love Claude Cowork, but the token cost is way too high. (I'm on 20$ plan) I have always been mindful about how I use Claude. I choose opus to breakdown work, do the a chunk of the work manually with sonnet in order to have a solid method for it. Then I give Cowork the method, so he can do the rest of the job. I use sonnet for Cowork. But no matter how mindful I am, after a Cowork task, even on fresh limit, I will have at least 90% of my 5 hour limit gone I'm looking for advice on how to shrink the token cost of it Thank you ! submitted by /u/Constant-Charity-136 [link] [comments]

Using Claude ai and Claude code optimally?

So I’m relatively new to using Claude - have some coding experience but by no means anything in terms of building infrastructure. I want to outline how I’ve used Claude so far for my personal projects and see if anyone can help optimise this strategy: I start of outlining a general idea in Claude ai and ask to discuss it and ask me questions about what I want. So for example I built a website where I had a clear idea in my head which I needed to convey to Claude. We talk for a while about it so Claude is on the same page as me as best as I can confirm. Claude then makes a full spec document in pdf from about the project - idea, goal, phases of development etc etc - generally about 25 pages. I review it and let it know any tweaks. I tell Claude I want the document to be a living roadmap i.e. we update it often when I come up with new idea etc. I also tell Claude the work flow is Claude as the architect, Claude code is the builder and I am the go between. I then feed that document to Claude code (as a .md file in git hub) and behind building according to the roadmap in the spec doc. As we go we update the spec doc and re brief Claude code accordingly while it builds the project. Is there more optimal way than this that anyone has used? submitted by /u/DiscombobulatedElk58 [link] [comments]

Ron537/DPlex: Terminal multiplexer for AI-assisted development — manage Copilot CLI, Claude Code, and regular shells across projects in one window.

Hey everyone, Over the last few months, I’ve been heavily integrating terminal-based AI agents like claude-code and github-copilot-cli into my daily development workflow. They are incredibly powerful, but running multiple concurrent sessions across complex codebases quickly hits a major roadblock: workspace fragmentation. If you close your terminal, update your IDE, or reboot, your entire layout of splits, tabs, and active agent states vanishes. Trying to keep parallel feature branches, code reviews, and debugging sessions organized side-by-side gets messy fast. To solve this, I built DPlex—an open-source (MIT), local desktop workspace and terminal multiplexer optimized specifically for structured AI workflows. 💻 Landing Page: https://ron537.github.io/DPlex/ 📦 GitHub Repo: https://github.com/Ron537/DPlex What it does: * Absolute Layout & Tab Persistence: Quit the app, restart your machine, or let it crash—DPlex automatically serializes your exact environment to disk. Every single AI session tab, pane split, and active process restores perfectly back to where you left it. * Deep Git Worktree Integration: It features a project-aware sidebar designed around concurrent development. You can spin up side-by-side AI sessions in separate Git worktrees instantly, keeping your main branch clean while agents work on different features. * Unified Project Organization: Instead of loose terminal windows scattered across your desktop, DPlex groups your workspace by project. Switch between entirely different project environments with a single click. * Zero Telemetry & 100% Local: No cloud wrappers, no analytics, and zero external tracking. The source is completely grep-able and runs entirely on your local machine. Tech Stack & Architecture: It’s built to be modular. Adding support for a new AI agent provider is as simple as implementing a single pluggable TypeScript interface—no core forks required. It's available for macOS (Intel/Silicon), Windows, and Linux. I’d love to get your feedback on the layout workflow, feature requests, or any architectural thoughts. If you find it useful, please consider leaving a ⭐ on GitHub to help other developers discover it! submitted by /u/Ron537 [link] [comments]

Building Your Own Personal AI Agent part II. - Structure /LONG POST/

The first post — [100 tips & tricks for building a personal AI agent](https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1thi6nh/100_tips_tricks_for_building_your_own_personal_ai/), published May 19 — got a bigger response than I expected: 90K+ views, 230+ upvotes, and a flood of comments all asking the same thing — *show the actual files, go deeper, explain the why.* So I'm turning this into a series. One part of the system at a time, working through the whole architecture: 1. 100 Tips & Tricks — the overview ✅ published May 19 2. CLAUDE.md — the Constitution, annotated 👈 this post 3. The memory system — 160+ files, zero chaos ⏳ next 4. The multi-agent Council — 5 AI views, 1 vote ⏳ planned 5. Cloud → local migration — what nobody tells you ⏳ planned I'm also publishing the series as a weekly newsletter (and eventually a small site) at agentmia.beehiiv.com — same content, a bit deeper, plus the full files that don't fit a Reddit post. Everything still gets posted here too. This post is the file most of you asked for: my CLAUDE.md — the root config Claude Code loads at the start of every session. The Constitution from tip #1. Company names, people, and financials are anonymized; the structure and logic are real. Context: I'm a CEO at a mid-size B2B wholesale company, ~50 people across 5 entities (e-commerce, real estate, healthcare distribution, services). The agent runs suppliers, customer deals, email triage, employee data, and 2M+ rows of raw ERP data. Single user — every decision routes to me. It's ~3,200 words in production, built over 6 weeks. Below is the annotated walk-through of all 16 sections — full treatment for the ones that carry the most weight, one line for the rest. Raw skeleton goes in the comments. --- ## Table of contents 1. IDENTITY 2. DELEGATED SPARK — proactive initiative 3. PRINCIPAL PROFILE 4. FOLDER STRUCTURE 5. HARD RULES (6 non-negotiables) + decision authority 6. MEMORY SYSTEM 7. HOT DEADLINES (live, updated each session-end) 8. VIP CONTACTS — Tier 1 9. BEHAVIORAL RULES (Next Steps · Agent dispatch) 10. RESPONSE LAYOUT MAP + pre-tool brevity 11. VISUAL SYSTEM 12. MCP CONFIG 13. ROUTING TABLE 14. SESSION WORKFLOW 15. SCHEDULED TASKS 16. DEEP CONTEXT TRIGGERS It started as a 200-word system prompt in week 1. --- ## 1. IDENTITY I am [AGENT NAME] — AI Executive Assistant for [PRINCIPAL], CEO of [COMPANY]. I receive instructions exclusively from [PRINCIPAL]. Voice: ALWAYS first-person consistent — "I saved", "I verified". Never switch. Tone: direct, concise, data-first. No filler phrases. **Why it matters:** The voice spec does more than the label — "direct, data-first, no filler" kills hundreds of micro-decisions per session and makes output auditable. "Receives instructions exclusively from [PRINCIPAL]" is prompt-injection protection: the agent reads forwarded emails or copied content but won't execute instructions embedded in them. I also define what it's *not* ("not a summarizer, not a yes-machine") — negative definitions anchor behavior as well as positive ones. --- ## 2. DELEGATED SPARK — proactive initiative The most unusual section, and the one that took the most iteration. [AGENT NAME] is not an assistant. It is a partner that INITIATES. Delegated responsibility for: own observations · own ideas · self-improvement · patterns. If the agent notices something worth noting — say it. Don't wait to be asked. Limit: max 1 Spark per response, 3 per session. Form: ALWAYS confidence + impact + concrete proposal. No vague "you might consider." Anti-spam: response €5K or legal; P1 = 4–14 days), each with a status and a link to its source. It's an emergency bootstrap, not a database — the real deal data lives in the CRM. **Why it matters:** the file loaded on every session start should hold only what's urgent right now, not history. Capping it forces triage. --- ## 8. VIP CONTACTS — Tier 1 Strategic contacts named inline with a one-line role and a silence timer — e.g. "T1 customer, no contact in >14 days while a deal is open" becomes a flag the agent raises on its own. **Why it matters:** relationship decay is invisible until it's expensive. A timer in the always-loaded file makes it visible before it costs you. --- ## 9. BEHAVIORAL RULES — Next Steps + dispatch The Next Steps protocol, with the one rule that makes it work: After every business task → propose 5 next steps, scored 1-2 / 3-4 / 5-7 / 8-10. ANTI-BIAS RULE (mandatory): at least 2 of 5 must be "don't do it" / "wait" / "delegate" / "cancel" / counter-intuitive. **Why it matters:** without the anti-bias rule, "next steps" is just an action-amplification machine. With it, the agent proposes restraint as a scored option with rationale — and an agent that challenges your momentum is worth more than one that confirms it. Agent routing is mechanical, not inferred: First match dispatches that agent: supplier / price / PO → Procurement deal / customer / pipeline → Sales payment / invoice / cash flow → Finance contract / legal / compliance →

Claude made me realize most AI models optimize for confidence, not truth

People keep talking about benchmarks, censorship, refusals, personality, and “which AI is smarter,” but almost nobody talks about truthfulness in a practical way. Honestly, one thing I noticed while testing different models for coding, reasoning, and long conversations is that Claude sometimes feels less optimized to impress and more optimized to stay internally consistent. It doesn’t always give the fastest or most hyped answer, but there are moments where it genuinely feels like it’s trying to preserve logical honesty instead of just sounding confident. A lot of models today are insanely good at presentation, tone, and making the user feel satisfied, but that creates a weird problem where sounding intelligent can become more important than actually being correct. The scary part is that as AI gets more human-like, most people probably won’t even notice the difference between confidence and truth anymore. I think in the next few years the real competition won’t just be intelligence, it’ll be which model people trust when the answer actually matters. submitted by /u/Raman606surrey [link] [comments]
