The unlazy skill and its Depth Tree method
How the unlazy skill stops an agent declaring done early: the Depth Tree, gates files, the PLAN.md contract, install steps, and what the depth costs you.
What is Claude Code?
Claude Code is Anthropic's terminal coding agent. What it does, where it runs, what a plan costs, and why it is not a chat window or an IDE.
Claude Code with an Obsidian vault on a VPS
An Obsidian vault is a folder of markdown, so Claude Code can refile and audit notes. Here is the VPS setup and the permission rules that stop bulk rewrites.

Upgraded Claude but usage limits did not change
You paid for a higher Claude plan and still hit the same wall. Work through the checks in order: billing timing, account mismatch, org seats, stale CLI login.
What is an agent harness?
An agent harness is the program around the model: the loop, the tools, the permissions and the session state. How it differs from a model and a framework.

Claude Code hooks run whether the model agrees or not. Where they live, which events fire, what exit code 2 does to a tool call, and the security cost.
Run Claude Code on Bedrock or Vertex AI
Point Claude Code at Amazon Bedrock or Google Vertex AI: the environment variables, where credentials come from, who gets billed, and what you give up.
Turn a Technical Book Into an Agent Skill
Convert a PDF, EPUB or folder of internal docs into an agent skill your coding agent loads on demand: install, token budget, headless runs, licensing.
How to Write Your Own Agent Skill
Write your own agent skill by distilling one real failure: the SKILL.md anatomy, the description line that decides when it fires, and how to test it.
Why coding agents ignore your instructions
Your instruction file says stop and the agent does it anyway. The mechanics behind that, and a diagnosis you can run before you rewrite the rule again.
Claude Code plugins: what they are and cost
What a Claude Code plugin is, where it lives, how to install one, and what it really costs: nothing for the mechanism, tokens for everything it loads.
Claude Code auto mode: the new default
Auto mode becomes the Claude Code default on 14 August 2026. What each permission mode does, and which one a server you cannot watch deserves.
Claude Code sessions that message each other
One Claude Code session can send text to another on the same VPS. What ListAgents and SendMessage do, when a second session helps, and why messages get held.
Agent skills vs MCP servers vs rules files
Three ways to give a coding agent context, and one rule for picking. See what a skill, an MCP server and a rules file each cost in tokens and upkeep.
Is Claude Code worth paying for?
A Claude Code plan pays for itself in recovered hours. Here is the arithmetic at your own rate, the cases where it fails, and the VPS cost nobody counts.
Claude on Linux: Desktop App and CLI
What runs natively on Linux today: the beta desktop app from apt, the Claude Code CLI, editor plugins, and which paid plan covers each one.
Is Claude Code included with Claude Pro?
Yes, on Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise, and no on the free plan. See what shares your usage window, and when an API key quietly bills you instead.
Share agent skills across repos without drift
Copy a skill into eight repos and the copies drift. Treat skills like dependencies: one shared repo, and a version each project pins and reviews.
Claude Code spend tracking tools compared
Claude Code spend trackers answer different questions. Compare local log parsers against the built-in usage screens and your own OpenTelemetry stack.
Claude limit reached: what to do next
Hit a Claude usage limit? Work out which window you are waiting on, then pick a route: smaller model, smaller context, usage credits, or the API.
Claude Code pricing by country and currency
Anthropic lists Claude Code in US dollars. Your bill adds a card conversion markup and local VAT or GST. Here is the arithmetic, country by country.
What are agent skills, really?
An agent skill is a folder with a SKILL.md file that loads only when your request matches it. Why that beats one giant prompt, and how it differs from MCP.
Set up a Claude Code statusline on a VPS
The statusLine setting runs a script and prints its stdout under the prompt. Show hostname, directory, git branch and model, so you edit the right server.
How much does Claude Code cost?
Claude Code costs $20 a month on Pro, $100 or $200 on Max, or per token with API credits. Prices as of August 2026, with a worked monthly estimate.
Claude Max: $100 vs $200 a month
Claude Max sells at two prices: 5x Pro usage or 20x. The models and features match. Here is what the multiplier means and which tier fits your work.
MiMo-Code: Xiaomi's answer to Claude Code
What MiMo-Code actually is: Xiaomi's MIT-licensed terminal coding agent, forked from OpenCode. Read the self-reported benchmark claims before you switch.
Ponytail: the lazy senior dev agent skill
Ponytail makes a coding agent take the smallest change that works. What it ships, what its own benchmarks show, and how to copy the rule today.
Recall: give Claude Code a memory on a VPS
Recall is a fully local plugin that logs each Claude Code session and condenses it into a resumable summary. Set it up on a VPS and measure the saving.
Keep secrets out of your AI agents
An agent holding your API keys can leak them in one tool call. Give it scoped short lived tokens behind a credential gateway, never the real keys.
Use Claude Code from your phone
Claude Code runs in tmux on a VPS and your phone is only the window. SSH keys, mosh for flaky mobile data, tmux attach, and the keyboard fixes that matter.
What is loop engineering? A definition
Loop engineering means designing the trigger, boundary, verification and budget an AI agent repeats, instead of writing one clever prompt. A plain definition.
Claude Team pricing for a small business
Seat math for a 3 to 15 person team as of July 2026: standard and premium seat prices, when an API key beats a seat, and worked examples at 5 and 12 people.

AGENTS.md is the README your coding agent reads. What belongs in one, what never does, how CLAUDE.md fits, and a starter template to copy.
Give coding agents a disposable VM
AI coding agents belong on a machine you can destroy. Blast radius, clean state per task, snapshots, and the VPS pattern that keeps it cheap.

Claude Code context: stop slow, costly sessions
Every turn re-sends your whole context, so a long session slows down and costs more. Read /context, cut the fixed tax, then clear and compact with intent.
Claude usage limits: what to do when you hit one
Switching models does not restore access. How Claude subscription session and weekly limits differ from API 429 rate limits, and what to do next.
Run Claude Code safely on a server
Claude Code can run any command your user can. What the skip permissions flag changes, and how to contain the blast radius, from sandbox to disposable VPS.

What are tokens in Claude? Code session costs
A Claude token is about 3.5 characters of text. Here is why one Claude Code turn bills 80,000 of them, and why five idle minutes make the next turn cost 5x.
