14-minute video for Premium members. I ran a prompt with 7 phases, which took 1.5 hours, in the session with Opus as orchestrator and Deepseek as implementer. Was it worth it?
Codex CLI has plenty of useful features that are easy to miss. I've put together 14 practical tips and tricks to help you get more out of it.
9-minute video for Premium members. I performed the same review with 4 LLM combinations: Opus + Opus (review AGAIN), Opus + Sol, Sol + Sol, and just Astra. Which performed the best?
11-minute video for Premium members. New v1.3 from very popular Matt's skills adds /retro to improve how your agent will work in the FUTURE sessions after the current one. I've tested before/after on a real project.
10-minute video for Premium members. I saw a tweet about all LLMs writing too much code, and decided to test Astra / Sol / Opus / Sonnet / Grok on that criteria. And also, is all "bloatware" really bad?
15-minute video for Premium members. I asked Opus/Astra to prepare AUDIT.md file of the existing codebase, and the approach/process/cost of the audit was SURPRISINGLY different.
21-minute video for Premium members. I tested 5 different scenarios of the same project plan+build: can we save tokens on using a cheaper model for implementation, after Astra builds the plan? Or maybe LLMs got good enough for PLANNING, too?
12-minute video for Premium members. I gave the same prompt with Luna Max model executed in 4 different harnesses. Was there any difference in code quality or things how AI agents did along the way? Speed? Cost?
