DIY dev tools: How this engineer created “Flowy” to visualize his plans and accelerate coding

How I AI Podcast

CJ Hess uses his custom tool Flowy with Claude Code skills to transform JSON definitions into interactive flowcharts and intermediate-fidelity UI mockups that guide AI-assisted feature planning and coding.

  • Flowy parses JSON files in a “flowy” folder—defining nodes, edges, style properties and icons—to render browser-based flowcharts and UI mockups, with an integrated editor that saves edits back to JSON.
  • CJ Hess created three Flowy Claude Code skills in Markdown (overview, flowchart, UI mockup) and iteratively refined them by prompting Claude to fix layout spacing, pastel note text contrast, and add a semantic color system.
  • He launches 3–5 parallel Claude Code “explore” sub-agents to gather context, generates a spinner wheel flowchart in Flowy (animation timing adjusted from 3 000 ms to 4 000 ms), then commands Claude Code to build the feature (passing TypeScript checks) and uses Codeex (alias “Carl”) on the git diff to catch a pointer-dot misalignment and suggest refactoring into components and constants.

How to Make Claude Code Better Every Time You Use It (Full System) | Kieran Klaassen

Peter Yang

Kieran Klaassen demonstrates his Compound Engineering plugin for Claude Code CLI, using slash commands like workflows plan, workflows work, assess, and triage to run a planning–coding–assessing–codifying loop that captures insights in a local docs directory and iteratively improves generated code.

  • The compound-engineering-plugin appends codified learnings as Markdown under /docs/architecture-decisions/ and /docs/solutions/, and updates the root claude.md so those rules are injected into every new workflows plan prompt.
  • With Opus 4.5 and Playwright, Claude Code auto-generates end-to-end browser tests—logging into Gmail to exercise email signature and draft flows, clicking UI elements, inspecting console logs, and screen-recording a video artifact attached to the pull request.
  • By defining alias CC="claude code --dangerously-skip-permissions", all interactive permission prompts are suppressed, enabling fully unattended AI-driven sessions for commands like plan, work, assess, and PR creation.

Structured Context Engineering for File-Native Agentic Systems - New paper by Damon McMillan evaluates context engineering for structured data across many models, formats and schema sizes, finding model choice the dominant factor; frontier models outperform leading open-source models and certain compact formats (TOON) incurred a large "grep tax" in token usage. Filesystem-based context retrieval helped frontier models more than open models.

How My AI AGENT Is Crushing Everyone Else (Claude Code)

All About AI

Chris demonstrates how to generate and post a 30-second AI agent video on X by running a Claude Code agent on a Mac Mini using the Cling video v3 pro image-to-video model, Nano Banana image skills, and an EJ Live Skill MD workflow.

  • Deployed a dedicated Claude Code agent on a Mac Mini for one week using an EJ Live Skill MD file that integrates the Cling video v3 pro image-to-video model.
  • Pulled the trending topic “opus 46 fast mode launch vs codeex 5.3 showdown” from hot_topics.mmd (updated three times daily) and structured a 30-second clip in three parts of 10s, 10s, and 12s with a scripted voiceover.
  • Generated three reference images from a “selfies” folder via Nano Banana, iterated to fix a mug artifact, applied a Reotion skill to smooth transitions, remove silence, and add centered captions, then posted the final 32-second video to X using the agent’s X skill.

Getting paid to vibe code: Inside the new AI-era job | Lazar Jovanovic (Professional Vibe Coder)

Lennys Podcast

Lazar Jovanovic uses Lovable.app, ChatGPT, Cloud Code and OpenAI Codex to build Lovable’s Shopify integration (including user-remix templates and a public merch store) and internal feature-adoption tools by running five parallel prototype prompts and steering AI through markdown PRDs and agent rules.

  • He launches five parallel prototype builds for each project—voice “brain dump,” refined typed prompt, design mock from Mobbin or Dribbble, code-snippet template upload, and a custom template—before selecting one to refine.
  • He allocates approximately 80% of his time to AI planning in ChatGPT/Lovable’s chat mode and only 20% to executing code generation.
  • His four-step “4x4” debugging framework uses Lovable’s “Try to fix” button, inserts console.log statements, diagnoses with OpenAI Codex or Claude via GitHub export, and reverts to an earlier version to improve AI prompts.
