Here's the table of contents for my lengthy new piece on how I use LLMs to help me write code simonwillison.net/2025/Mar/11/...

It includes detailed examples, including the full Claude Code process I used to build this new Colophon page, which presents the Git commit histories for each of my collection of LLM-assisted web tools in one place tools.simonwillison.net/colophon

Colophon update: I added automated documentation for all 78 of my tools, written by piping the HTML through Claude 3.7 Sonnet I was hesitant to do this at first but the utility of the resulting explanations convinced me it was worthwhile More details here: simonwillison.net/2025/Mar/13/...

I decided the descriptions it wrote were too long, so I added "Keep it to 2-3 sentences" to the prompt and rebuilt them all to be more concise: github.com/simonw/tools...

> It cost about $1.08 in Claude credits to document all 78 tools Does this imply you used Claude Code? Or your llm CLI
