This is just ai slop. If you follow what the actual designers of Claude/GPT tell you it flys in the face of building out over engineered harnesses for agents.

- canadiantim 7mo agoWorks better than standard claude / gpt, which doesn't do red-green-refactor. Doesn't seem like slop when it meaningfully changes the results for the better, consistently. Really is a game-changer. You should consider trying it.
- nojito 7mo agoI do do TDD but using skills in this way is an anti-pattern for a multitude of reasons.
- canadiantim 7mo agoI don't think just saying it's an anti-pattern for a multitude of reasons and then not naming any is sufficiently going to convince anyone it's an anti-pattern. This is in fact precisely what skills is meant for and is the opposite of an anti-pattern, but more like best practice now. It's explicitly using the skills framework precisely how it was meant to be used.
- throwaway7783 7mo agoI agree with this. There is not a lot of harnesses/wrapping needed for Claude Code.
- canadiantim 7mo agoYou don't need a harness beyond Claude Code, but honestly it's foolish to think you shouldn't be building out extra skills to help your workflow. A TDD skill that does red-green-refactoring is using Claude Code exactly as how it's meant to be used. They pioneered skills.
- throwaway7783 7mo agoYep, not saying we don't need skills. Just harnesses.
