How Intercom 2X'd engineering velocity with Claude Code | Brian Scanlan
How I AI Podcast
Intercom achieved a 2Ă increase in merged pull request throughput within nine months by building and instrumenting Claude Code workflowsâsuch as enforcing PR description quality and an autonomous flaky-specs fixerâand logging every skill invocation to Honeycomb and session data to S3.
- Within nine months of going all-in on Claude Code, Intercomâs engineering team doubled merged PRs per R&D head after CTO Darra set a 2Ă throughput goal.
- All Claude Code skill invocations (e.g. âcreate PRâ, âadmin-toolsâ, âBuild Kaiâ, âsnowflake logsâ) are emitted to Honeycomb via an org-wide key, while anonymized session JSONs are archived to S3 and sourced into Snowflake for analysis.
- The custom âflaky specsâ Claude Code skill processes a backlog of hundreds of Rails test failures by fetching historical failure data, running CI builds, applying an LLM-generated checklist to fix each flake, updating its own skill definition on-the-fly, and merging fixes via GitHub CLI hooks.

Hermes Agent: The New OpenClaw?
Greg Isenberg
Shows how to install and configure Hermes Agent with built-in SQLite memory and 40+ tools via a one-line command, connect to Open Router for transparent token pricing, and deploy it on Android devices using Termox and Termox API.
- Install Hermes Agent on Mac, Linux or Windows Subsystem for Linux via a one-line shell command, with optional âxcode-select --installâ on Mac OS.
- Hermes Agent stores each successfully completed task and API key in a SQLite database as built-in memory and performs real-time searches over its logs.
- Using Open Router models (e.g., Nvidia Neotron free) and converting recurring tasks to deterministic cron job code reduced token spending from $130 per five days to $10 per five days (over 90% reduction).
