What Semi-Automated Code Reviews with Claude Code Look Like at Grove

P.S. I took the images on my widescreen monitor while working on a real feature. If there’s interest, I’m happy to put together smaller screenshots or a walkthrough video. TL;DR Our workflow today looks roughly like this: Kick off an agent review locally via /grove_*_review The agent reviews the diff, runs best-practice checks, and spins up the system locally Full E2E flows run automatically (happy, sad, chaotic paths) Failures are diagnosed with context instead of just “test failed” A PR sweep catches regressions and tech-debt risks Humans review mission-critical logic manually A final PR description is generated automatically ...

Signal vs Noise in the Skills Ecosystem

tl;dr There are 78K+ agent skills across 8K publishers. Most of them don’t matter. The data from skills.sh tells a clear story: Discovery is the killer app Distribution follows a power law Adoption rewards quality over quantity Ref: Skills Dashboard. 78K skills and counting The skills ecosystem has exploded. As of the last day of February 2026, skills.sh tracks: 78,362 total skills 8,064 publishers 9,996 repos 8M+ total installs I decided to visualize the data. You can access the dashboard here. ...

One agent skill to replace a $5M raise

The $5M pitch Command Code AI announced that they recently raised $5M to build a proprietary AI agent that learns your coding style; taste. Meanwhile, session-commit does the same thing with a markdown file and some vibes. How I discovered Command Code AI When I posted about session-commit on X, another developer replied that he uses @CommandCodeAI for taste learning. I was intrigued. session-commit vs. Command Code AI Dimension session-commit Command Code AI What it learns Durable project knowledge: architecture decisions, conventions, debugging playbooks Personal coding style: naming, patterns, formatting preferences Where it stores AGENTS.md, a human-readable, version-controlled file in your repo Proprietary model weights / taste profile (opaque) How it learns Explicit: you run the skill, review proposals, approve changes Implicit: watches every accept/reject/edit continuously Granularity Project-level knowledge Developer-level preferences Portability Fully portable. It’s just a markdown file that any agent can read Locked to their CLI (npx taste push/pull) Tool lock-in None. Works with Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode Requires command-code CLI Transparency 100%. You see exactly what’s stored and can edit it Black box. You don’t see the taste model internals Team sharing Share via git (it’s in the repo) Share via npx taste push/pull Cost Free / open source $10 credits, then paid The philosophical difference Command Code AI says: “I’ll silently watch how you code and adapt to your style.” It’s implicit, continuous, and developer-scoped. session-commit says: “Let’s explicitly capture what we learned and write it down for future sessions.” It’s explicit, intentional, and project-scoped. In reality, they’re complementary more than competitive. Command Code optimizes how code is written (style/taste), session-commit optimizes what the agent knows about your project (architecture, conventions, gotchas). ...

How I code going into 2026

My First Lines of Code At the age of 11 in 2003, I wrote my first line of code. I was a Game Master for a DragonBall Z MMORPG on byond.com. Other than creating a cool-looking pixel art item, I don’t really remember the language or any other details. At the age of 14 in 2007, I had to take a programming course as part of my high school’s Math and Computer Science (MaCS) curriculum. We used a language called Turing, which is likely unknown to many. ...
