llm-echo 0.5

Release: llm-echo 0.5 I'm working towards a new LLM release, and testing PRs caused me to revisit the llm-echo debug plugin. This plugin provides a "model" which doesn't involve an LLM at all - it just repeats back the prompts that have been fed to it. The new release now updates the simulated token usage counts to take tool calls, system prompts, and reasoning tokens into account. Example usage: uvx --with llm-echo llm -m echo 'hi there' -o thinking 1 --usage Outputs: First I consider the prompt, then I decide what to say. { "prompt": "hi there", "system": "", "attachments": [], "stream": true, "previous": [] } Token usage: 2 input, 24 output Tags: llm

Inline rendering with document​.currentScript

Inline rendering with document​.currentScript Lean Rada describes a neat trick that takes advantage of the document.currentScript property. You can use that to drop in a tiny inline <script> element that replaces itself when the page loads: The year is <script> document.currentScript.replaceWith( new Date().getFullYear())</script> If you define a shortcut function like this: $=(...n)=>document.currentScript.replaceWith(...n) You get a tiny template language: The year is <script>$(new Date().getFullYear())</script> Tags: javascript

web-edit 0.1a2

Release: web-edit 0.1a2 web-edit (previously) is my tiny web app for browsing and editing files in a folder. I mainly built it for editing files on different machines via Tailscale. I added a "copy to clipboard" option for both text and image data. I needed this because I was running pelican prompts on a laptop from my phone (here's DeepSeek 4.1 Flash 1017) and I wanted an easy way to copy the resulting logs into a Gist.

Quoting Addy Osmani, Morgan Westlee Lunt, and Qing Wang

We think "did a human read the code?" is an imprecise proxy for "what could go wrong with this change, and which check—automated or human—is the right one to catch it?" Asking that question also changed when review happens. Before, review was a gate at the end of the road: write the code, open a PR, wait for your colleague. Now, review runs continuously, more like spellcheck while you write. Most changes have been reviewed and fixed by Claude at least once before a human is asked to look. This catches most routine mistakes, and saves team attention for higher-level questions and scrutiny. — Addy Osmani, Morgan Westlee Lunt, and Qing Wang, How the Claude Code team does code review Tags: anthropic, claude, ai, claude-code, llms, addy-osmani, coding-agents, generative-ai, agentic-engineering,

sparqlite: SPARQL 1.1 inside SQLite, written in Rust

Research: sparqlite: SPARQL 1.1 inside SQLite, written in Rust This research task is really an experiment in running Claude Code for web in "Ultracode" mode, as described in Orchestrate subagents at scale with dynamic workflows in the Claude Code documentation. With Ultracode turned on, Claude Code makes aggressive use of dynamic workflows - it generates JavaScript that defines and coordinates a network of subagents to take on complex problems. My initial prompt was this - I meant "hit the rows directly", the word "delete" was an accidental typo on my phone: Write a SQLite extension in Rust that implants SPARQL and runs really fast because it can hit the delete rows directly This caused Claude Code for web to churn for over 12 hours. I checked in on its progress the next day and sent a sin
