Ooo, yeah!

I’m excited to play with their memory stuff. I’m curious if they will add any hooks for allowing skills to store things intentionally.

The system skill idea is a little different in that you can store and query structured data out of your own SQLite db.

Author here-- hah, I'm surprised someone posted this already-- I just came to share it as a Show HN post and get the conversation started:

I’ve been playing with Claude Skills and stumbled on a simple pattern for tiny, durable personal data systems:

* CLI: a small, self-contained executable

* SKILL.md: the operator's manual (what to run, how to parse output, how to think about the system)

* SQLite: a local DB for persistent state

It’s nothing mind-blowing, but the ergonomics of this combo feel great.

If you define a process/flow, Claude can "turn the crank" by running the CLI, accumulating context, and animating the system to life over time.

They’re also easy to share: you can distribute System Skills via Claude Code’s `/plugin marketplace add <repo>`.

More details in the blog post and the toy Pomodoro System Skill reference implementation here:

Curious whether any of this resonates. Also excited to hear any interesting System Skill ideas worth exploring!

I think Steve Yegge's BD might be another "stateful" skill like this - have you compared the bead approach with yours

what API are you using for recipes?

hi friends!

I'm the author of t2x and shrugginface.com, I'm surprised to see this landed on HN a month after I first shared it.

I originally planned to make it real during the holiday break but got distracted by other projects. This is the inspiration bump I needed, so I'll get back to shipping over the coming weeks

Hope it’s okay I shared it here. Saw it in my RSS reader and figured HN would enjoy it.

Glad to hear it served as inspiration. The video looks promising!

Simon's LLM tool is probably the best of any of these sorts of things! So thank you for making it, I still use it regularly to kick the tires on new models, and it served as a significant inspiration for the design of t2x.

The idea behind t2x was to make a stripped-down cli with a "functionality first" mindset and remove the actual selection of specific models from the user's flow.

If you run `ls -la | t2x "sort these files alphabetically"`, it will do the right thing.

However, subcommand like `t2x ask` are used to route you to a different model with different behavior. The ask subcommand currently makes requests to perplexity, where you can ask questions and get near realtime grounding from the world.

I'm curious, what specifically you're interested in from openrouter? Do they offer specific LLMs, or is it just a great way to kick the tires on new models as they emerge?

The original intention behind t2x was to be "functionality first", and make an opinionated call on which LLMs get used for specific functionality. However I think the way to go will be sane defaults and then allow user-specified models from something like openrouter.

oooo neat! I hadn't heard of aichat before, I'll definitely take a look.

I made this as a silly learning project to dive into some of the real-time interestingness of Elixir.

It's using Phoenix LiveView, and the whole game state lives inside a GenServer

Realtime state is written to ETS and periodically (every 5s) flushed to disk.

It's running on fly.io

ooo, that could be fun! Like an in-browser tldraw mspaint UI , good idea!
