The Token Burning Bubble: Inside the Collapse of Silicon Valley's Most Expensive Metric
For a year, burning AI tokens became a proxy for ambition. Then the bills came due. A look at tokenmaxxing, Goodhart's Law, and the shift to token efficiency.

AI agents write code fast but design badly across many repos. The fix isn't a smarter model, it's letting the agent query the codebase instead of walking it.
The /goal command sets a completion condition and Claude works until a separate evaluator says it's done. How to write goals that actually finish.
Launchpad is a Claude Code plugin that turns feature work into four guided slash commands - brain, architect, implement, test - with state that survives /clear.
Stop paying API rates to call your own assistant. claude -p turns a Claude Code subscription into a scriptable agent that already knows your skills.
A short, honest playbook for cutting Claude Code costs without switching to a worse tool.
BMad Builder generates the agents, skills, and workflows your team would otherwise hand-write. Here is the short version.
47,000+ agent skills across 6,300+ repos. Almost none tested beyond a vibe check. Here's a 4-layer testing architecture that fixes that.
How we built Automan - a static, YAML-driven internal portal entirely with Claude Code, no servers, no frameworks.
An internal framework for packaging team domain knowledge, workflows, and automation into reusable Claude modules - shareable, versioned, and improvable.
