aicmd — you're going to love this (my new CLI tool)
I made this so I can run commands in the terminal with less copy and pasting https://github.com/zazencodes/aicmd I'm looking for early users to test it out. Please help me out guys! 1. give the repo a star on GitHub ⭐ (thank youuuuuu) 2. install it and try it out curl -fsSL https://github.com/zazencodes/aicmd/raw/refs/heads/main/install.sh | sh I built this for myself and it works great on my system but I need your feedback It works with ollama, llama.cpp, APIs (openai, claude, gemini) and CLIs (codex, claude code, antigravity)

@Sunil Unnithan yeah for two reasons 1. Its a specialized subset. llm is generalized (it can do anything) 2. More importantly, my cli puts the command right into your terminal. So you just press enter to run it

I’ve used llm a lot. It’s cool. But I dont think it works with codex. So I’m not using it anymore. I don’t like spending api tokens
Why I’m building my own specialized agents
I feel like there’s so much waste right now when I’m using something like openclaw to do a very simple specific task. For example I’ll get it to “add a quote “ to my quote collection in Obsidian Or to “add an expense” to my bookkeeping system These should be specialized workflow-oriented agents. I think I could easily spin up an app with a pi backend system to do this. Might make it into a course. What do you think? Would you be interested? Also let me know if you have (a) advice or (b) questions

Skill md isn’t really necessary even. You can do progressive disclosure with CLAUDE.md and ordinary markdown files. In my case the specialized agent would allow me to use it as a web app outside of claude code or other agentic tools

What are you working on?
1) share what you’re building right now AND 2) post a photo of your workspace setup PS. If you’re working on multiple things then please share the one that’s most fun ;)

Ah I see now. You need to get 5 “likes” on your posts. You can track it on your profile page

@Ganesh Krishnan it’s hard to balance being productive with coding agents and learning the code itself. Good for you to work with claude to actually understand what you’re building. A lot of people won’t do that. As for n8n, I much prefer to use agent skill style workflows. Basically just markdown files that agents can “execute “. Far easier to build, maintain and far more flexible than n8n

@Ganesh Krishnan hey Ganesh, feel free to share more about the project you’re working on now. Especially if you have questions around some decision you are making for it, you can start a new discussion for that
Self-improvement vs Efficiency
There is this idea of self-learning in AI. Am I smarter today than I was yesterday by learning from yesterday's mistakes? Does anyone have any practical suggestions on this self-learning? I am seeing this tension. If the instruction is non-deterministic, then there are issues like prompt hacking. Besides the vulnerability aspect, there have also been numerous cases of AI agents not doing specifically what was asked. This "may or may not happen" aspect to any plain English instruction given to an AI agent. It's a request not a command. The way to solve this is to convert the instruction from plain English to some coding language and run that piece of code. Usually python works. But moving to python kills the self-improvement loop. All self-improvement options I have seen (SkillOpt for example) work on improving instructions in plain English. A request can improve over time but a command is frozen in the time it was created. Wonder how people see this tension of being more efficient today (python code) vs being smarter tomorrow (Prose in a skill)?

I see the tension you’re describing Practically speaking, I think it comes down to two things 1. Carefully manage context, starting with AGENTS.md . And when the agent makes a mistake, catch it and tell it to update that file so it doesn’t make the same mistake again. I don’t believe in memory right now. I only “write my own memories” in this way. 2. Get a sense of what models/agent harnesses work for your use case, eg maybe gemini 3.7 flash low thinking with antigravity works great for simple projects, whereas for others I trust codex sol with high thinking. This is more of an art.
