what really got me moving was dusting off some old text about cognitive styles and team work. Learning to treat agents like a new team-member with extreme tendencies. Learning to observe both my practices and the agents' in order to understand one another's strengths and weaknesses, indicating how we might work better together.
I think this perspective also goes a long way to understanding the very different results different devs get from these tools.
my main approach to quality is to focus agent power on all that code which I do not care about the beauty of: problems with verifiable solutions, experiments, disposable computation. eg my current projects are build/deploy tools, and I need sample projects to build/deploy. I never even reviewed the sample projects' code: so long as they hit the points we are testing.
svelte does not really resonate with me, so I don't know it well, but I suspect there should be good opportunities for TDD in this rewrite. not the project unit tests, just disposable test scripts that guide and constrain new dev work.
you are right to notice that it is not working for you, and at this stage sometimes the correct way to get in sync with the agents is to start again, without previous missteps to poison the workspace. There's good advice in this thread, you might like to experiment with good advice on a clean slate.

It would be great if you could provide a summary of these points.

Soft plug: take a look at https://github.com/tilework-tech/nori-profiles
I've spent the last ~4 months figuring out how to make coding agents better, and it's really paid off. The configs at the link above make claude code significantly better, passively. It's a one-shot install, and it may just be able to one-shot your problem, because it does the hard work of 'knowing how to use the agents' for you. Would love to know if you try it out and have any feedback.
(In case anyone is curious, I wrote about these configs and how they work here: https://12gramsofcarbon.com/p/averaging-10-prs-a-day-with-cl...
and I used those configs to get to the top of HN with SpaceJam here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46193412)
How does it compare to Claude Code's skills [1] ?

Why not use wget to mirror the website? Unless you're being sarcastic.

The article sums up my current frustrations with federated platforms. Maybe it just needs some time for reliable communities to be known. But until then, I'll be happy to use centralized platforms. Alternatively, people can adapt the culture of self-hosting their own instances. Then you don't have to worry about reliability and content moderation.
