    Hello HN, Recently an amazingly beautiful explainer was shared on HN: https://explainers.blog/posts/why-is-the-sky-blue/ I loved it so much that I wished more topics were explained that way. So, I decided to stress-test today's frontier models (Opus 4.6 in Claude Code) to generate similar explainer on any given topic WITH (almost) one shot and minimal nudging. I'm launching with four topics: Fourier transformation, scaling laws in bio, cellular automata and LLMs. I would let you be the judge, but I'm quite liking them. Some things I learned: - Prompting CC to test…

    Like a lot of people I got the $250 Claude Code credit and didn't use it up. I decided to try to use it up over the weekend using (mostly) my phone and vibe coded a Prolog interpreter. Now I'm seeing how far I can push it.

    Hey HN! I built Retain as the evolution of claude-reflect (github.com/BayramAnnakov/claude-reflect). The original problem: I use Claude Code/Codex daily for coding, plus claude.ai and ChatGPT occasionally. Every conversation contains decisions, corrections, and patterns I forget existed weeks later. I kept re-explaining the same preferences. claude-reflect was a CLI tool that extracted learnings from Claude Code sessions. Retain takes this further with a native macOS app that: - Aggregates conversations from Claude Code, claude.ai, ChatGPT, and Codex CLI - Instant full-text…

    When AI coding tools help you plan a project, they describe your options in text and ask you to pick. That works fine for technical choices but falls apart for anything visual. "A sticky navbar with a hamburger menu" vs "a sidebar with collapsible sections" is hard to evaluate without seeing them. I built a Claude Code skill that generates a self-contained HTML page for each decision point and opens it in the browser. Each page has four options with visual previews (rendered CSS mockups for UI decisions, flow diagrams for interactions, architecture diagrams for technical choices), a…

    The magic in AI coding assistants isn't the code -- it's the prompts. I studied the externally observable behavior of Claude Code and recreated it from scratch in Python with the exact same behaviors. It works with any model -- OpenAI, Gemini, Claude. What's surprising: 1. You can keep the core agent really simple, just 280 lines of Python. As long as it supports hooks, custom sub-agents and Model Context Protocol (MCP), then all the rest of the coding-assistant-specific behavior and tools can be factored out into a separate MCP server. 2. The magic is in the prompts (1200 lines of…
