Avoid the Loop Trap: Designing Effective Claude Code Loops

The article explains how Claude Code defines a loop as an agent repeatedly executing work until a termination condition is met, categorizes loops by trigger, termination, primitives, and task type, and provides concrete guidance for turn‑based, goal‑driven, timed, and proactive loops while showing how to control token usage and maintain code quality.

How to Quickly Learn and Master AI‑Generated Projects with the /teach Skill

The article explains why traditional code‑review methods are inefficient for AI‑generated projects and presents a three‑skill workflow—/teach, /insight-diagram, and /architecture-diagram—demonstrated on the open‑source Zero coding agent to turn codebases into lasting, self‑contained learning courses and professional diagrams.

Detecting Code Smells with an AI ‘Smell’ Skill: My Scan of a Fresh Open‑Source Project

The article explains the origin of the term “code smell,” expands the classic catalog to over 50 modern smells, and demonstrates how the AI‑powered /smell skill automatically scans a sizable Go project (Gitlawb/zero), identifies issues such as God objects, long files, and hidden performance hotspots, then generates a prioritized refactoring roadmap.

How Autoreview Turns AI Code Review into an Unskippable Quality Gate

Autoreview is an AI‑driven skill that automatically reviews code before a PR, addressing volume, blind‑spot, and boredom problems by repeatedly running until the code is clean, using a Scope Governor, multi‑engine panels, and strict isolation to enforce quality without manual bottlenecks.

Packing 775 Saved Articles into a 4 MB Vector Store: A RAG Skill That Beats Karpathy’s Wiki

The author built an open‑source RAG skill called chao‑rag‑wiki that compresses 775 collected articles into a 4.8 MB vector index using TurboVec, hybrid dense‑plus‑BM25 retrieval and optional LLM reranking, then compares its zero‑compile latency and full‑recall strengths against Karpathy’s llm‑wiki approach.

Refactoring in the AI Era: Evolving Code for Cleanliness

The article explains how AI‑generated code often arrives as tangled, untested code, and shows how to apply classic refactoring principles—technical debt awareness, the Rule of Three, and a three‑step checklist—through the Goal Workflow /refactor and /smell skills, turning Fowler's book into an executable AI agent that diagnoses and cleans code automatically.
