why @openclaw is nuts: 1. your context and skills live on YOUR computer. not a walled garden and you can switch models with one command 2. it's open source so you're not paying anyone for insane value 3. it has a growing community building skills for it - this is compounding rn 4. world class developers like @steipete, @theguti 5. only 19 days old and is constantly improving, shipping speed is insane 6. ⁠"personal AI assistant" undersells it. it's a company assistant, family assistant, team tool. 7. it's accessible via any of your favorite platforms (whatsapp, telegram, signal, discord, slack...) 8. it's proactive AF: cron jobs, reminders, background tasks, it reaches out to you 9. its memory is amazing, context persists 24/7 what else?

Had such a good time hosting last month’s State of #MCP with @dsp_, @digitarald, @JamesMontemagno, and @dkundel. Now @adslaton from @thisdotlabs has pulled together five key takeaways from that conversation in a quick recap video. Get the highlights fast 👇

Remember to use plan mode to clarify feature specifications and expected behavior. Ask it to bring up any clarifying questions that need to be addressed. Then it will draft a plan, and the magic begins.

New in Claude Code: Plan mode. Review implementation plans before making changes. Perfect for complex changes where you want to nail the approach before diving in.

Want Claude to code multiple features for the same project? Git Worktrees: 1. Create branch: `git checkout -b feature-a` 2. Clone branch: `git worktree add ../${clone_folder_name} ${git branch}` 3. Navigate to clone: `cd ../project-feature-a` 4. Run Claude: `claude`
