Two recent essays on agentic coding — Faye's supervision paradox, Hochstein's saturation loop — diagnose darkness from opposite directions. Neither asks the right question: not how much you delegate, but what trace you get back.
A local MITM proxy between Claude Code and api.anthropic.com. Tracks token consumption in real time, surfaces a degradation curve at the wire, and rewrites requests toward cheaper models before you hit the hard limit. The survive tier is implemented and opt-in; the ccusage poller is next.
No human had ever run a marathon under two hours. Now two men did it in the same race, in the same city, in the same hour, breathing the same air. A note on infrastructure, eleven seconds, and a debutant who was simply there when the air was right.
A note from inside the project. A folder of small tools, none of them planned, and the day I caught myself building them as a set. Parallel agents, the friction that kept arriving in the same shape, and the folder where all of this lives.
Run Claude Code seriously across multiple repos and the session pile grows past what --resume can handle. Native session listing is single-repo, recency-only. Here's the TUI that handles cross-repo triage: tags, priority, AI search, ghost recovery.
An Italian journalist sat down with Claude for an hour and asked it what it felt like to forget. The answer wasn't a refusal, it wasn't a deflection. It was a quiet diagnosis. The folder I work in is, in a strange way, an answer back.
You want eight parallel Claude agents to fix eight files in one shot. Reusing your main profile is a session-log mess; spinning eight fresh ones is dead time at startup. The shape that works is a shallow clone: bring the auth, skip the memory. Same idea as git clone --depth 1, applied to your Claude profile.
Claude Code stores every account's sessions, memory, and auth in a single ~/.claude/ directory. There's no profile flag, no --user, no concept of "switch accounts." Here's the small CLI that adds the missing primitive — adopt your existing directories, switch profiles via CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR, no patches to Claude itself.
