Skill: iOS ASO Generator

The whole searchable surface on the App Store is 160 characters — App Name (30) + Subtitle (30) + Keywords (100). This skill extracts signals from your codebase and generates a compliant, optimised ASO.md grounded in what your app actually does.

Skill: Team Work

Most sessions end with a pile of loosely-related jobs. Do them serially and you wait. Fan them out naively and you get merge conflicts, wasted opus runs on trivial work, and parallel agents stepping on the same files. This skill reads the conversation, decomposes it into atomic tasks, assigns each a model tier and the right specialist subagent, then groups them into waves that can actually run in…

Claude Code Token Cheat Sheet

Most Claude Code users know about settings.json, but the binary contains over 150 environment variables that control everything from thinking budgets and context window compaction to subagent model selection and sandbox behaviour. We extracted the full list from v2.1.83 using strings, verified each one against the minified source, and organised them into 16 groups with a practical guide to cutting…

The Unofficial Guide to Every Claude Code Environment Flag

Skill: And Then

Stop building before you understand the problem. This skill forces the valuable pause — gathering context silently, extracting every ambiguity, resolving what it can from code, and only asking you the questions that genuinely need your input. When the blocking unknowns hit zero, it produces a plan grounded in reality.

Skill: GitHub Labels

A companion to Workflow, April 2026 — this is a runnable Claude Code skill that sets up the full label taxonomy from that article on any GitHub repo. Pick the groups you need, run the skill, and your issues speak a language that both humans and AI agents understand.

Workflow, April 2026

This months theme is Github issues, templates, and Whatsapping OpenClaw on a Raspberry Pi to tell Claude what to work on next.

Skill: Swift Accessibility Agent

This is a Claude Code skill you can install right now. The body of this post is the skill itself. To install it, either right-click the **AI-friendly version** link in the header and save it as `SKILL.md`, or point your agent at the URL and ask it to set it up. Or just copy everything below into `~/.claude/skills/swift-accessibility-agent/SKILL.md`.

Accessibility and AI Agents

AI agents navigate iOS apps through screenshots by default — slow, expensive, and fragile. The accessibility tree already has everything they need. Here's the pattern, the toolchain, and why the work pays double.

Connecting Claude Code to Your Second Brain

Claude Code generates useful artefacts — agents, skills, plans — but they live in hidden dotfiles and scattered repos. obsidian-link connects them to your Obsidian vault so they're browsable, searchable, and connected.

FoundationModels: Quick Reference Cheatsheet

Everything you need to know about FoundationModels on one page — key types, session patterns, token budget formula, and the 10 anti-patterns. Links into the full reference for every section.

iOS 26 FoundationModels: Comprehensive Swift/SwiftUI Reference

Everything you need to know about FoundationModels in Swift — from the availability gotchas through @Generable guided generation, streaming, tool calling, token budgeting, and graceful degradation patterns for production apps.

Anatomy of a CSS Phone Mockup

A step-by-step walkthrough of how a realistic iPhone frame is built from scratch — bevel gradients, layered shadows, glass shine effects, and mouse-reactive 3D tilt.

Three years of AI

My first record of coding with AI was in March 2023 when I was poking around with ChatGPT.

Code Style Guide

A practical code style guide built around one principle: every token competes for finite attention. Maximize signal, minimize noise.

Building a Design System on Mathematical Harmony

An in-depth look at how the golden ratio and Fibonacci sequence create a coherent, scalable design system.

iOS 26 Liquid Glass: Comprehensive Swift/SwiftUI Reference

Everything you need to know about implementing Liquid Glass in SwiftUI and UIKit — from basics through advanced morphing, performance optimization, and production patterns. Refreshed May 2026.
