Here’s your monthly reminder that you shouldn’t be prompting coding agents anymore. You should be designing loops that prompt your agents.↗

Been teaching codex to be my QA assistant. For every commit it creates a user-test scenario and uses webVNC (crabbox), computer/browser use (peekaboo/mcporter) to test OpenClaw like a user/QA person would. This runs in the background and opens PRs with fixes.↗

Peekaboo 3.0 is live. Biggest release since 2.0. ⚡ Action-first macOS computer use 👁️ Unified screenshot + UI detection 🧩 Cleaner JSON across CLI + MCP 🛠️ Better snapshots I started this last year, but the models just weren’t good enough. Now they are. peekaboo.sh↗

Whenever I investigate a bug, I let codex recreate the exact state in an emphemeral crabbox, verify the bug, fix it, verify the fix. No messy state because local system might be polluted, and no slowdown because I run 10 sessions in parallel. crabbox.sh↗

The next version of OpenClaw is also an MCP, you can use it instead of Anthropic's message channel MCP to connect to a much wider range of message providers. (I know, this is awkward)↗

PSA, codex has a new websocket mode for spark, you can enable that for other models too via responses_websockets_v2 = true↗

Agentic coding did change my brain in terms how I think about code - especially the terms. It *weaves* features in, it's all *shapes* of code. It *traces* through it. What other terms did you learn?↗

others: better run in a sandbox llms are not safe me: literally hooks up claude to whatsapp xD you can limit actions to specific phone numbers tho. Supports both twilio and reverse engineered whatsapp sync (using a second phone is way easier than Meta WA Business verification) …↗

That's the biggest difference IMO. GPT-5 reads far more code, which often is slower, but leads to far better results. Cursor by default often sees far too little and then does a local fix w/o understanding the bigger picture.↗
