When building AI DevKit, I had to look much deeper into different coding agent harnesses. Each one has its own structure, workflow, and mental model. In this post, I’ll share what I learned from digging into Claude Code hooks. Claude Code has 27 hook events. I went through all of them. Most are not worth … Continue reading I read every Claude Code hook so you don’t have to

Claude Code Guide: How to use Claude Code like you’ve used it for a year
Most Claude Code tutorials stop at "install it and start chatting". That gets you maybe 20% of what the tool does. The other 80% comes from understanding how context, modes, subagents, and hooksfit together. It's the stuff that's technically in the docs but reads as marketing until you've burned a few thousand tokens learning it … Continue reading Claude Code Guide: How to use Claude Code like you’ve used it for a year
I use AI DevKit to develop AI DevKit features
I built AI DevKit because I wanted a workflow that makes AI coding feel less random and more efficient. But I also know from experience that AI looks great when you demo it. The problem only surfaces when you rely on them to ship something non-trivial. I made a rule for myself. I would use … Continue reading I use AI DevKit to develop AI DevKit features
Prompts are becoming Code, but we still treat them like Strings
Prompts used to be just text. You wrote a few sentences, pasted them into a chat box, tweaked the wording, and moved on. If the output was not good, you tried again. Nothing else depended on it. The cost of getting it wrong was close to zero. That phase did not last long. In The … Continue reading Prompts are becoming Code, but we still treat them like Strings
Cursor 2.0 and Composer Model
Released on October 29, 2025, Cursor 2.0 is a major update to the AI-driven code editor that promises a new multi-agent interface and the debut of Cursor’s own coding model, Composer. As someone who uses Cursor every day, I couldn’t wait to try out the new 2.0 release. I spent some time exploring what’s new. … Continue reading Cursor 2.0 and Composer Model
Why does MCP matter? A Deep Dive for Engineers
Everyone's talking about MCP (Model Context Protocol) and how it's supercharging workflows in tools like Claude Desktop, Cursor, and other desktop apps. And yeah, the integrations with desktop environments are cool. But honestly, MCP is way more than just these integrations for desktop applications. You’ve probably seen folks compare MCP to USB-C for AI. It’s … Continue reading Why does MCP matter? A Deep Dive for Engineers
