My tasks board for my @openclaw agents is much more useful when grouped by agent, showing each agent's queue of scheduled/recurring tasks. The status view (todo/doing/done) is there too, but not as useful here. Just build your own tools.

Setting up OpenClaw with a multi-agent "team" has been... a process. Question after question to figure out. Some technical, some strategic. I detailed it all in today's video.

Shipped an update to Design OS today. Improvements: - Much faster AI design workflow (without sacrificing steps or quality). - Optimized the hand-off so that Design OS gives your coding agent the frontend UI layer, less prescriptive on backend.

New behavior I noticed in Claude Code: If I give it a big task, it sometimes enters plan mode on its own and makes a plan. I like it.

"Today's builders understand that the value we bring has moved to the bookends: the up-front thinking and the final push across the finish line. The messy middle β the grunt work of implementation β is where AI thrives (if we let it)." β

First few days impressions of Opus 4.6: Same excellent performance as 4.5. Most noticeable improvement is it recognizes my intent faster, with fewer iterations to get there. Instead of 4-6 drafts, we get to something shippable in 1-2.

Took me a minute to see the use-case (I don't need it to read my email or make restaurant reservations). But I get it now. It'll be my first (true) AI employee that plays a real role in our operations. Mac Mini arrives today (not into the vpn idea).

Many jobs-to-be-done can (and probably should) be built as simple agent skills. It's often better than buying an off-the-shelf SaaS or even vibe-coding your own app. π

Writing, like code, is easier to ship now. Still need original ideas. A point of view. Taste. Voice. But you don't need to toil over getting the first words on the page anymore. And yes, you can still publish things that are authentically you.

For years I couldn't make a weekly newsletter stick. So many half-baked drafts trashed because I didn't have time to get what I wanted to say into a shippable state. Now I don't miss a week:

Agent OS v3 is out. Legacy codebases are a challenge in AI development. Your agents can scan your files, but not the knowledge and decisions baked in between the lines. Agent OS enhances (doesn't reinvent) what Claude Code does well. New video & docs here:

There are so many "one-off" mini-app builds we can just spin up now, on demand. Instead of a traditional slide deck, why not an interactive presentation as an app? Instead of a written proposal, why not an interactive pitch + buy button?

Agent OS v3 strips 70% of its codebase and somehow is even more useful nowβespecially for working in legacy codebases into 2026. Releasing this week.

When I started Builder Methods last year, I thought I'd be navigating the shift to AI alone. Turns out, thousands of builders wanted the same thing β training and community, no hype. Rewrote and refreshed

Clipboard history is especially useful when prompting AI all day. So many screenshots in there! Also added keyboard shortcut to CleanShot's scrolling capture feature for long page screen grabs, which I drop into prompts and specs constantly.

A muscle worth building for better prompts: Frame your feedback around the end result, goal, or emotion you want to get to, with whatever you're building or creating. Avoid micro-directing specific changes and how to make them.

Reading every response is impossible. Missing important ones is expensive. So I built InboxSummaries: It reads my incoming surveys, etc. and surfaces insights, trends and opportunities I'd otherwise miss. Using it daily now. Should I open it up?
