My 5 biggest takeaways from @trq212 on how to plan, build, and run loops with Claude: 1. Ask Claude to find the blind spots in your plan As models work longer, they'll encounter more decisions you never specified. Before building, ask Claude to inspect the codebase and surface the unknown unknowns that could change your approach.
“We’ve got /loop, /goal, and workflows. They all get the agent to run for long periods of time.” Here’s my new episode with @trq212 from the Claude Code team, where he shared how he plans, builds, and runs loops with Claude Code: → How /loop, /goal, and workflows work differently → Live demo: Editing launch videos with Claude → Using HTML artifacts to plan and learn Some quotes from Thariq: “We cut Claude Code’s system prompt by 80%. As models have gotten smarter, they need less direction, fewer constraints, and fewer examples.” “Planning is an iterative process of exploring, investigating, and finding out what you don’t know.” “One failure mode I see is that people glaze over AI’s plans. You want to make sure it’s something you read.” I've been wanting to interview Thariq for a long time and I learned so much from this epsiode. 📌 Watch now: https://youtu.be/aVO6E181cNU Thanks to our sponsors: @RiversidedotFM: All-in-one AI studio for podcasts and video https://creators.riverside.com/PeterYang @WisprFlow: 4x faster than typing with your voice https://ref.wisprflow.ai/peteryang
Use one agent to do the work and another to review it against a rubric. @trq212 explains how this works for video shorts: “For something like, ‘Is this a good video short or not?’ you don’t have a deterministic answer. You should have a separate verification agent read a rubric, review the short, and give feedback. We call it self-preferential bias. When a model prefers its own output, it’s going to be more lenient at verifying it.” 📌 Watch the full episode here: https://youtu.be/aVO6E181cNU
