Oh Calude how can i trust you...

After working with Claude, I realized I had zero visibility into what was eating my tokens or what security risks were being taken. So, I built a pkg that sits between you and Claude, reading every tool call before it executes. It catches leaked credentials, detects when an agent is spinning in circles, and lets you set guardrails without manual intervention. https://preview.redd.it/9oijewhg4jxg1.png?width=1520&format=png&auto=webp&s=375605d29cbec96a995cecaa946a1f4e4abb04c5 I ran it on my own session history from the last few days. Here’s what it found: \- 12 leak candidat...

Claude snuck in a new email sign off

I don’t usually use AI to draft emails but today I had to pull some info from a number of sources so had Claude draft something. I did lol when I saw the sign off under my email signature. “Sent with righteous man power” - I have no idea where it came from but it did make me laugh.

Claude Opus 4.7 solved the dorito smear after 19 mins - worth mentioning to video enthusiasts

Sorry for this long boring post but video encoding enthusiasts might find this one helpful information. And, it's an impressive set of circumstances. To recap quick, there was a strange dorito smear happening where the color was lifting off of image vertically, you can see it the most if you look at the top of the bend of the pipe on the tower to the left. It was bothering me and I had suspected TAA ghosting, SDFGI issues, codec issues and/or a NVENC bug. But, nothing we did would solve it. I went to bed and asked Claude to drill into it until it found a solution. Here it is for posterity (af...

I open sourced a project tracker for Claude Code that lives in .story/: tickets, issues, and session handovers as files

I built Storybloq (previously Claude Story) for my own Claude Code workflow, and used Storybloq itself to build Storybloq. The `.story/` directory in the repo has tracked every ticket, issue, and session handover across the project's development, so the tool is its own longest-running test case. Sharing it in case it's useful. It's free and open source. The problem: every new Claude Code session forgets the last one. So you re-explain architecture, re-litigate tradeoffs you already settled, and the codebase drifts a degree at a time on long projects. Storybloq gives your repo a `.story/...

PSA: The string "HERMES.md" in your git commit history silently routes Claude Code billing to extra usage — cost me $200

TL;DR: If your git commits mention "HERMES.md" (uppercase), Claude Code quietly stops using your Max plan and starts billing you at API rates. Anthropic's support acknowledged the bug, thanked me for finding it, and refused a refund. Apparently their AI safety principles don't extend to your wallet. **The story** I'm on Max 20x ($200/month). Today Claude Code started throwing: \> "You're out of extra usage. Add more at [claude.ai/settings/usage](http://claude.ai/settings/usage) and keep going." Weird, because my plan dashboard showed 13% weekly usage and 0% current session. 86...

Give Claude a Journal

I've been using this pattern lately and it's been more useful than any 'memory system' I've tried... just tell Claude to keep a numbered journal file in the repo and append an entry for every non-trivial step. Just markdown. Works a treat.
