Field Notes
View all (6)Todd Saunders posted about a /cost-estimate command in Claude Code that prices out what your codebase would've cost a real team to build. I liked the idea, turned it into a reusable skill, and pointed it at tonyseets.com.
Kept the site static but made one component server-rendered using Astro Server Islands. The homepage activity chart now pulls live GitHub data on each request, cached at the edge for 24 hours.
Built a domain-checking skill for Claude Code using RDAP. String matching with whois kept failing. Structured protocols solve it.
Custom ccstatusline config with Unicode icons for tracking model, tokens, and costs in real-time. Seeing dollar figures changes how you plan.
