The toolchain I actually run.

The toolchain I run day-to-day. Nothing aspirational — only what's actively in use.

Editor

Claude Code
primary editor; agents do most of the typing
~/.claude/skills/
reusable workflows pinned per project
~/.claude/commands/
slash-commands I rebuild often (review, brainstorm, ship)
VS Code
fallback for surgical edits and diffs

MCP servers I run

lean-ctx
compresses repo reads; cuts context cost ~90%
playwright
browser automation, screenshots in agent runs
knowledge-graph
personal notes + project history

Prompts I treat as code

git-tracked prompts
version + review like any source file
skills/ scaffolding
reusable, composable, testable
evals on the way
regression suite for the highest-leverage prompts

Supporting tools

iTerm + zsh
still where the agents live
Linear + Slack
team coordination
Obsidian
writing first drafts before they hit /writing

Where I don't use AI

production secrets
never paste credentials, even into a sandbox
live incident triage
raw logs first, agent assistance second
commit message archaeology
git blame is faster than asking
