Self-Improving Claude Code: A bootstrap seed prompt that evolves into a sophisticated configuration system
Self-Improving Claude Code: A Bootstrap Seed
The Hypothesis
A single prompt (~1400 tokens), placed in a project's .claude/CLAUDE.md, can bootstrap a Claude Code instance into a self-improving system — one that captures learnings, extracts patterns, evolves its own configuration, and gets meaningfully better at helping its user with each session.
No pre-built infrastructure required. No user-level config. No hooks, skills, templates, or elaborate folder hierarchies. Just a seed and the affordances Claude Code already provides.

Scripts that simulate typing the clipboard contents. Useful when pasting is not allowed.
It "types" the contents of the clipboard.
Why can't you just paste the contents you ask? Sometimes pasting just doesn't work.
One example is in system password fields on OSX.
Sometimes you're working in a VM and the clipboard isn't shared.
Other times you're working via Remote Desktop and again, the clipboard doesn't work in password boxes such as the system login prompts.
Connected via RDP and clipboard sharing is disabled and so is mounting of local drives. If the system doesn't have internet access there's no easy way to get things like payloads or Powershell scripts onto it... until now.
Windows
The Windows version is written in AutoHotKey and easily compiles to an executable. It's a single line script that maps Ctrl-Shift-V to type the clipboard.

"Scar Tissues Make Relationships Wear Out"
04/26/2103. From a lecture by Professor John Ousterhout at Stanford, class CS142.
This is my most touchy-feely thought for the weekend. Here’s the basic idea: It’s really hard to build relationships that last for a long time. If you haven’t discovered this, you will discover this sooner or later. And it's hard both for personal relationships and for business relationships. And to me, it's pretty amazing that two people can stay married for 25 years without killing each other.
[Laughter]
> But honestly, most professional relationships don't last anywhere near that long. The best bands always seem to break up after 2 or 3 years. And business partnerships fall apart, and there's all these problems in these relationships that just don't last. So, why is that? Well, in my view, it’s relationships don't fail because there some single catastrophic event to destroy them, although often there is a single catastrophic event around the the end of the relation

Clearly ES6 is a huge improvement over ES5, and tools like [6to5][] allow us to use these cool features now. I was reading [Replace CoffeeScript with ES6][replace coffeescript] by [Blake Williams][] and thought it was a great summary of how ES6 solves many of the same problems that CoffeeScript solves; however I'd like to comment on a few of Blake's points and talk about why I'll be sticking with CoffeeScript.
Classes
Classes in ES6 (like many of the syntax changes in ES6) are very similar to the CoffeeScript equivalent. To support browsers that are not fully ES5 compliant (e.g. IE8-), however, we still can't really use getters/setters, so ignoring these the comparison is:
