If you found this useful, a like or RT goes a long way 🦾 Follow me → @datachaz for insights on LLMs, AI agents, and data science! Charly Wargnier (@DataChaz) 🚨 You need to see this. @addyosmani from Google just dropped his new Agent Skills and it's incredible. It brings 19 engineering skills + 7 commands to AI coding agents, all inspired by Google best practices 🤯 AI coding agents are powerful, but left alone, they take shortcuts. They skip specs, tests, and security reviews, optimizing for "done" over "correct." Addy built this to fix that. Each skill encodes the workflows and quality gates that senior engineers actually use: spec before code, test before merge, measure before optimize. The full lifecycle is covered: → Define – refine ideas, write specs before a single line of code → Plan – decompose into small, verifiable tasks → Build – incremental implementation, context engineering, clean API design → Verify – TDD, browser testing with DevTools, systematic debugging → Review – code quality, security hardening, performance optimization → Ship – git workflow, CI/CD, ADRs, pre-launch checklists Features 7 slash commands: (/spec, /plan, /build, /test, /review, /code-simplify, /ship) that map to this lifecycle. It works with: ✦ Claude Code ✦ Cursor ✦ Antigravity ✦ … and any agent accepting Markdown. Baking in Google-tier engineering culture (Shift Left, Chesterton's Fence, Hyrum's Law) directly into your agent's step-by-step workflow! `npx skills add addyosmani/agent-skills` Free and open-source.

EdgeClaw Reduces Token Usage 85% with New Skill System
By
–
85% token reduction, that is what EdgeClaw's new skill system delivers compared to the standard Claude Code loading phase. Open source teams are shipping faster than the labs right now. See what they built: github.com/OpenBMB/EdgeClaw Yukun Yan (@AIYKun) 🚀 [OpenClaw x Claude Code DAY 3 – Almost Done!] 🚀 Three more CC features—including the highly requested Buddy—are now live in EdgeClaw 2.2! 🦞 Try it now: github.com/OpenBMB/EdgeClaw Here is what we shipped today: 👇 ⚡️ ClawXskills: Progressive, high-efficiency skill calling. The loading phase now consumes just 15% of the original tokens! 🧠 ClawXcontext: Hierarchical context compression with on-demand expansion. Say goodbye to context bloat and lost information! 🐾 ClawXBuddy: Draw a random "blind box" to get your own unique companion pet! (Warning: No abandoning allowed! 🙅♂️❤️) The reconstruction of CC features is complete, but EdgeClaw’s evolution has just begun. We will keep pushing boundaries! 🌊🚀 #ClaudeCode #OpenClaw #EdgeClaw #LLMs #OpenSource — https://nitter.net/AIYKun/status/2040061511809520006#m

Codex App Server enables custom interfaces with ChatGPT integration
By

I want to double down on that. Just ask Codex to build anything you want connecting to the Codex App Server. It’s very self-aware about it, and you can connect Codex to anything and talk to it from any UI you want to build! This is how the whole Codex Monitor thing started! Vaibhav (VB) Srivastav (@reach_vb) ICYMI: you can use your ChatGPT sub with OpenClaw, OpenCode, Pi, Cline and a lot more! Infact you can double down and build your own interfaces on top of the ChatGPT Sub via the Codex App Server too – it’s fully open source Enjoy your Claw & build things you want, when you want — https://nitter.net/reach_vb/status/2040314906180735259#m

Scaling High Throughput AI Inference Infrastructure Challenges

Sometimes I take for granted how quickly we can ship great product, vs how hard it is to tune a super high throughput inference + api stack. The scale makes the latter really hard. we’re working around the clock to make it better.
