Ask Claude to document and describe the main flows in your app and output in a single page html + json data file.
Incredibly useful for humans and the JSON file is very useful for explaining the flow to the LLM when working on new features/bugfixes.

• Being found matters less, being better matters more
• Product becomes a function, and agents grade it
• Each agent grades on its own rubric: "best for a left-handed beginner" beats "fine for everyone"
Looking at hotels in SF for @OpenAI DevDay. 7 different taxes. 🤦♂️
GPT-6 Astra vs Fable 5.1 according to @theo.
Update on what the visual docs for @ToDesktop's system flows now looks like. All this is driven from a JSON schema that LLMs read when working on related features/bugs. Prompt is below in comments if you want to make it for your app.
- Built with Fable 5.1.
- I use a scheduled weekly task to keep it updated.
- Original prompt: xitter.cf/DaveJ/status/205408551…
- I've since added Sequence View, Phases, Data objects, failure paths and lots more

Here’s the prompt:
Create a single page html that documents workflows between packages and components in the app. Have all the components/packages on the page and I can click on different actions like "Invite new user" or "todesktop build" or {insert other flows here} and then it will highlight the flow between the packages and annotate how things are passed between each package to complete the action. This should be driven from a JSON document which documents all the flows. Does that make sense? Any questions?
announcing inline:
a chat app for all work, with your team and agents.
two years ago we set out to build a chat app that feels incredible to use first thing every morning, not just a skin on slack's decade old design.
it's now in beta: inline.chat
Skills clutter up context in Codex and most of them are irrelevant to your daily work (like the `$hatch-pet` skill) but still take up space and distract the model. The title and description of every skill is in your context.
You should disable "Implicit Invocation" for most of them, so they will be removed from context unless explicitly invoked.
Run this prompt in Codex (you can prob do something similar in Claude):
```
List standalone Codex skills in ~/.codex/skills and ~/.agents/skills. Exclude plugin/namespaced skills (`:`). Show title, GPT-2 BPE tokens for title+description, and implicit invocation (default yes unless openai.yaml says false). Local only; flat A–Z table.
```
Then tell Codex which ones you want to make explicit (or ask Codex to recommend for you). You can still use the skill when it's explicit but you will need to explicitly reference the skill in your prompt. I ended up making most explicit.

Let’s go! Agent powered email inbox (and @ToDesktop under the hood).
We’ve raised $3.2M and spent 18 months building Scape.
Scape is the first email inbox that works for you:
Fable + Claude Code is very good at working through component design/UX and highlighting pros/cons of different design options. Ask it to output an HTML artifact to explain its thoughts. Prompt + Artifact are in thread below.
Prompt: "Here's a screenshot of a security toggle component. Path: [Path_To_Component_Code_Here]. Critique it, mock up 3 alternative designs as an HTML artifact, and recommend one"
Artifact HTML: drop-175c4a7d-3ef.todesktop.…
I used the same prompt with Claude Fable and it took it to the next level. So glad Fable is back. 👨🍳
Forgot to transfer some PDFs to my phone for returning package. Codex remote makes it easy to leave a voice note and get them sent to me.
Two-tier society engaged.
The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.
The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.
Access to all other Claude models is not affected.
We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.
