Opus 5.5 is crushing the game right now. Here's a prompt that you can copy and paste into Claude to audit your tool calls and improve efficiency even more. ---- Look through my Claude Code chat history for this repo in ~/.claude/projects/. 1. Find the files and folders agents visit most often. 2. For each one, count how many tool calls it usually took to get there, and roughly how many tokens that used. 3. Flag the paths where the agent searched, opened the wrong files, or backtracked before finding the right spot. 4. Rank the 5 most wasteful paths by total tokens burned. 5. Suggest the smallest CLAUDE.md edits that would send an agent straight there. Pointers, not paragraphs. Don't change any files yet. Show me the report first. --- Thank me later 😉

Introducing Claude Opus 5.5, the first model in our new Claude 5.5 family. It performs at the level of Claude Fable 5.1 for most tasks, and costs 40% less to run than Opus 5.
JJ is the GOAT when it comes to breaking down the fundamentals of using Claude Code, and how to build sustainably. Tap in with this one! 🤝
POV: your boss asks you to build something by next week. You've never built software before. At least not something other people have to use. This video walks you through it, start to finish. Here's the path: - The stack: Claude Code builds it, GitHub backs it up, Vercel puts it live - Build vs. buy: only build the thing that makes you better than everyone else - Write the plan first. It's the GPS for your agent. - Map every person who will use it, and what each one needs - Design it in Claude Design before a single line of code - Build the thing By the end, you've shipped a real, working app. Know someone who wants to build their own software? Send this to them. Timestamps: 0:00 The ask 0:35 The stack 3:03 Build vs. buy 4:10 Why you plan first 6:00 Set up your project and GitHub 7:22 Build the plan with Claude 9:20 Feeling overwhelmed? That's normal 10:03 Map your users 11:19 Design it in Claude Design 13:21 Review and tweak the design 15:18 The finished app This might be the nuttiest video I've made to date. Yay or nay? Let me know.

Low key just as amazing as the upgraded model. You can now switch reasoning levels mid conversation without it spending more tokens to updates the context window.
Switching effort mid-session on Opus 5.5 doesn't break your prompt cache btw! Just make sure you're on Claude Code v2.1.280+
Opus 5.5 and Sol 6 both just dropped. Here's a really simple thing to do after you switch. Check how the new model gets around your codebase. Each model finds its way around code differently. Some search first. Some read whole files. Some lean on your instructions file more than others. A repo that worked great with your last model can be wasting tokens on the next one. And that waste adds up. Every extra tool call fills up the agent's context and burns tokens you pay for. Say one common path takes 12 calls when it should take 3. If your team hits it 200 times a day, that's millions of tokens a day spent on searching. You don't have to guess where it's happening. Most coding agents save your past sessions right on your computer. Here's a prompt that's helped me keep my codebase efficient. It works in any coding agent. Copy and paste it inside your repo: --- Find where our past chat sessions for this repo are saved and read through them. If you can't find them, tell me where to look. 1. Find the files and folders agents visit most often. 2. For each one, count how many tool calls it usually took to get there, and roughly how many tokens that used. 3. Flag the paths where the agent searched, opened the wrong files, or backtracked before finding the right spot. 4. Rank the 5 most wasteful paths by total tokens burned. 5. Suggest the smallest edits to our agent instructions file (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, or whatever this repo uses) that would send an agent straight there. Pointers, not paragraphs. Don't change any files yet. Show me the report first. Make the edits, and run it again. -- Thank me later 😉

Love the sauce that this man is sharing with us all
In one day, I went from complete fucking noob to... a Jev power user? (Read this, and you can too!) I've been playing with Jev, a new AI model from @typesafeai. I'm not a developer, so I wanted to find out what I could actually build with it. I made four increasingly crafty/interesting demos: An email sorter 2,000 test emails sorted into buckets in 4.4 seconds, for about 4 cents. It flags uncertain cases for a human to review. A customer-review playground Would this person buy again? What should we improve? How did they feel about the product? Ask all three and get answers your app can use. “Should I send this Message?” Got anger issues? Give it your draft Slack or email... whether you're about to rage quit, or saying something nice. It picks send now, soften first, sleep on it, or say it in person. “Am I bombing?” A pitch-coach experiment. The browser uses Face API to turn camera and voice cues into numbers; Jev uses those to suggest feedback. I simulated nervous and confident pitches to show the feedback changing. Each one uses the same basic idea: give Jev the situation and the possible answers. It picks an answer, tells the app how sure it is, and the app uses that result. You can start with one judgment you're tired of making over and over! Here's my Jev Test™ for new and existing projects: (1) Do I keep asking the same question? (2) Can I name the possible answers? (3) Would deciding faster or more often actually help? If something in your work passes all three, that's a place to start. Full 10-minute walkthrough attached, including when I'd still use Claude or ChatGPT. Watch on YouTube: What decision at work would you build one of these for? (Shoutout to @tenex_labs' finest -- @seejayhess and @_raghavdixit_ -- for the knowledge you imparted for this one!!)

Very excited about this new offering from @tenex_labs . We have a unique place at the table for many Fortune 500 Cos and we’ve been able to see what problems they’re facing and have built a handful of prebuilt agent solutions to help solve some of those problems for a cheaper price / and quicker pace. While they’re prebuilt out of the box, they’re customizable to each business and can scale in a secure way. Hit us up if you want to learn more!

Im so excited to announce Tenex Agents! Off-the-shelf, enterprise-grade AI agents focused on tackling recurring work across functions like Finance, Sales, Marketing, HR, and IT. Everyone & their mother is building/launching agents. So how are ours different? • < 2 weeks to deployment • Built for responsible oversight (permissioning, approvals, audit trails) • Optimized performance layer (model routing, evals, context management) • Custom configured for your processes & systems of record • Tied to agreed upon outcomes Our agents JUST WORK because they’re a labor of love, 18 months in the making. We started Tenex to help companies turn frontier AI research into real business results. Since then, we’ve built hundreds of custom solutions for some of the biggest companies in the world. Along the way, clients keep asking: “What are you seeing on the ground, and what should we be doing next?” We’ve studied the market and spoken with hundreds of executives. Three priorities kept coming up: 1) Faster time to value. See meaningful results quickly and cheaply. 2) A clearer starting point. Know which workflows to tackle and how to measure success. 3) A fit with the business. Work within existing systems, with the right access controls and human oversight. That’s when Tenex Agents said “hold my beer.” We’ve been quietly turned hair on fire customer processes problems into a suite of composable and battle-tested agents. They give you a ready starting point, with Tenex handling the implementation: • Up and running quickly. Most deployments targeted for under two weeks. • Configured for your business. Adapted to your processes and connected to your systems of record. • Built for oversight. Defined permissions, human approvals, and an audit trail. • Measured against an agreed outcome. A clear definition of success for the first workflow. We’re slowly rolling out Tenex Agents, so please fill out this interest form if you’d like to learn more:

What’s up, Boston! Lets crush
Hopped on a Virtual Claude workshop this morning with @AnthropicAI and @cinkotweets to teach the latest ways to use Claude (with all of the latest updates) Some things that really stand out to me: - Claude Docs is really cool. Offers a great way to colab with claude & your team - Claude desktop app is starting to take form as the center app for all of your ops / building / work. - Their updated projects feature slaps. let me say that again. Slaps. Not everyone has access to it yet, but it shows a glimpse into how we will all begin working with agents soon. - Love having Claude design integrated natively into the app. Whether you need to do knowledge work / design / build, etc., it's all there! Now off to Boston tomorrow for a Claude Code session! 🌍

No joke, I spent 20 minutes this morning teaching how to manage your agents and context windows the right way. All of it was manual. All of it took a lot of explaining.

Big @mattshumer_ fan! Thanks for taking the time to break down the process for us!
This guy build a copy of Call of Duty with one prompt & went stupid viral (20 million views). Now while building video games is cool, what's even cooler is that his process, called The Gauntlet Loop, can be applied to any type of professional work. Here's how @mattshumer_'s process works: Problem this solves: Agents stop at “good enough.” They do the ask once and declare done, especially in visual/creative work. Even if you force more iterations, models judge their own work. Like a student grading their own exam, they give themselves 100. That self-grading is the ceiling. Step 1: Set a real, inspectable bar - “most recent Call of Duty” level, not “a great FPS”). If yours isn’t better, you’re not done. Step 2: Split the job across specialist sub-agents instead of one overloaded agent. Step 3: Loop each piece until it looks like a real game/ real work, not “pretty good for AI.” - Version 1 will be garbage. Step 4: Blind critics compare your output to a reference and keep going until they pick yours (or you stop). Why the critic must be blind - In Claude Code / Codex-style harnesses, sub-agents often fork the main agent’s context, so a “critic” still remembers the builder’s rationale and rubber-stamps it. - Fix: spawn critics with totally fresh context. They only see the artifacts (e.g. two images), pick which looks better, and don’t know which is yours. - Until the critic picks yours, keep looping. That’s the whole loop. How Claude of Duty actually ran - Lead agent decomposes → each piece gets builder + critic → before/after per subsystem → fold back into the game → repeat waves. - He did not hand-feed a big pile of Call of Duty reference images. He set the prompt and the agent went out and found comparison material itself. References when the thing doesn’t exist yet For something novel (e.g. a futuristic weapon), you can: - Use a different game/object as a quality-level comp (critic judges “which looks better overall,” not identity match), or - Generate target stills with an image model until you like them, then feed those as the bar. Same loop outside games - Writing (he called this the harder example): after each iteration, A/B paragraphs (or page/chapter) against strong recent comps. Avoid famous dead authors the model already “knows” as themselves (IP + identity). Use contemporary comparable writing. - Websites: feed sites you think are world-class; don’t stop until blind critics consistently prefer yours. - How prescriptive on “what good means”: optional. Experimental runs he lets loose. Real work he gets more prescriptive and steers mid-loop (“like this direction, but pare back”). - Growth: Something Big newsletter is already using the loop for growth strategies and conversion copy; he said subscriber CAC results are far above industry standard. Cost and when to stop The loop can run forever. - Demos / toys: don’t max it. Too expensive for the value. - Real work that matters: willing to spend a couple hundred dollars / hit subscription limits. If the artifact is valuable, $200 is cheap relative to what that demo would have cost a few years ago. - He stopped Claude of Duty while it was still improving, because of cost and “already wow,” not because the bar was fully beaten. He bets a couple more days would get much closer to real CoD level. Full episode:

The build is only as good as the plan. @JJEnglert shows how creating a detailed implementation plan first helps AI agents identify dependencies, parallelize work, and build more efficiently.

There's a lot of confusion about what Jev actually is, and when it's worth using over what you already have. Here is my attempt at reverse engineering its philosophy, its architecture, and where it falls down.

How I AI: @JJEnglert on his meta-skill for setting up projects and repos at @tenex_labs
Anthony dropping the sauce on how we build content at @tenex_labs with a mix of AI and humans. tl;dr Build systems to allow AI to do most of the busy work. Reserve all of the ideating, decision making, and review for the humans. No one likes slop; your reputation is on the line. But this doesn't mean that AI doesn't have a place in your content process.

I’m happy to announce that AI is finally coming for my job. This intro you see was made with GPT-6 Astra. I gave Codex my raw footage, my script, and access to Final Cut. I described the visual direction with screenshots of references and natural language, and viola - beautiful results. I still want to bring my own perspectives, come up with fun ideas to explore, and decide what deserves to be on screen. But the exporting, dragging, dropping, and repetitive cleanup? Please take it!! Creators: what part of the process would you happily hand off? Watch the full video here:

Tesla’s FSD driving is having a “ChatGPT” moment right now. It’s reached a point where it’s actually a better driver than a human. And once you experience it, you can’t have otherwise. Every other auto make is about to see FSD success, and will begin to triple down on advancing their own system. The problem is? They’re ~5 years behind Tesla.

Introducing our newest creator at @tenex_labs @cinkotweets ❤️
My brother-in-law landed a job interview for two reasons: 1. He used AI to optimize his resume keywords for the ATS scanner 2. He dropped a bullet under Skills that read: "bicycle repair, eccentric ideating, frolicking amongst foliage and critters, and patriotism" Guess which one they asked him about. AI has a personality, but it’s just the average of everything it knows, and everybody's has the same one. Your quirks, your references, the weird asides you put in in parentheses — your ✨authenticity✨ — that’s the last remaining “moat” to stand out in anything you produce. That's one of 5 things I learned making this video essay. I spent a day yapping with my team at Tenex (people who are hired FOR their AI skills how they avoid making slop with it) to try and figure out: Why do people drift from using AI for grunt work to completely outsourcing their thinking to it? The point here isn't as simple as "AI Bad" -- it's about how to put your thinking cap back on! Tap in and tell me if there's a pointer I missed.

So much is happening under the hood to make this feature happen. Before with Projects, you had to manually add everything into it: files, conversation, memories. Now, projects does this automatically for you. Think of it as Claude giving you your own context engineer now. Not only is the UX better, but I'm seeing better results from my claude now that context is being shared better between them all.
