Roundup: Agent coding setup tips
Some details of my current agent coding environment:
WebFetch: Allow all domains—permission fatigue costs more than the risk.
Project switcher: Helper script to launch Claude or Codex in the right folder.
Question mode: Prefix messages with
?to prevent Claude from editing files when you just want to ask a question.Google Docs: Gdoc CLI is the best way to edit Google Docs.
“Try” for experiments: Use Tobi Lutke’s Try tool for managing quick experiments.
My CLAUDE.md: A recent version of my global CLAUDE.md.
Keep conversation history: Tell Claude Code to store past conversations indefinitely. By default it deletes after 30 days.
Date errors: LLMs sometimes offset calendar dates by one day. Fix it with a Python script.
Share skills between agents: Store skills in
~/.agents/skills/and symlink to make them work in Claude Code, Codex and Gemini.Browser use: Enable Claude to test its work in Chrome.
Quick Look markdown files: Use QLMarkdown to preview files with rendered markdown in Mac OS Finder.
