remobi.app: Don't change your terminal workflow for mobile

Jul 12, 2026 · 9:21

Connor Adams presents remobi.app, a progressive web app that lets developers check on their terminal-based coding agents from a mobile phone without changing their existing workflow. Built for TMUX users, it mirrors a user's remote terminal session with gesture controls for zoom, scroll, and pane switching. Adams argues that unlike Claude Code's built-in handoff or dedicated mobile terminals, remobi is agent-agnostic and preserves custom TMUX setups with tools like lazygit and critique. The app uses Tailscale by default for secure remote access, though users can substitute Ngrok or Cloudflare tunnels. Open source and installable via npm, remobi aims to satisfy the compulsive need to monitor agents while away from the desk.

What Does Done Even Mean? Agents and Paperclip's Liveness Model - Dotta, Paperclip

Jul 12, 2026 · 7:14

Dotta, creator of Paperclip, argues that "done" for agents must be a structured claim bundle rather than a boolean checkbox, as agents produce more work than humans can verify. He introduces Paperclip's Liveness Model which balances liveness (keeping work moving) with verification (human review) through three invariants: productive work continues, only real blockers stop work, and infinite loops are bounded. The model uses explicit task transitions, first-class blockers, interactive human approvals, watchdogs (goal-enforcing agents), and separation of verifier from author. Dotta advises defining "done" with artifact, evidence, rubric, owner, and next action, and providing agents tools to verify their own work. The episode presents a protocol for agentic work that avoids approval theater and enables safe delegation.

Self-Training Agents: Hermes Agent, HF Traces, Skills, MCP & Finetuning — Merve Noyan, Hugging Face

Merve Noyan from Hugging Face argues that open-weight and open-source models have caught up with closed models, citing GLM 5.1 topping the Artificial Analysis Intelligence index. She walks through Hugging Face’s ecosystem for agentic AI: benchmark datasets on the Hub to filter models by SWE-bench or AIME scores; inference providers that route to the cheapest or fastest option per model; a traces repository type for storing and exploring agent sessions; and skills that plug into coding agents (e.g., Claude Code) to fine-tune vision-language models on a dataset by name—calculating VRAM, selecting an instance, and launching the job. She demos an agent-driven fine-tuning of Qwen2-VL on a vision-language dataset, and a case study where an LLM agent orchestrated OCR of 30,000 AI papers using open OCR models and Hugging Face Jobs, eliminating napkin math. The MCP server also enables querying Hub models, datasets, and spaces from agents.

Full Walkthrough: Writing & Using Skills — Nick Nisi and Zack Proser

May 6, 2026 · 1:21:03

Zack Proser and Nick Nisi, Developer Experience Engineers at WorkOS, teach how to write portable, composable skills — single markdown files with optional scripts — that train AI tools like Claude, Codex, and Cursor to perform specific tasks consistently. They demonstrate building a repo roast skill that uses deterministic Git commands via script interpolation and progressive disclosure to load targeted references only when needed. The workshop covers structuring skills with front matter (name, description for LLM routing), adding confidence scoring and constraints to improve output, and sharing skills as .skill files or through marketplaces. Advanced topics include using skills in non-coding workflows (e.g., Slack–Linear automation) and composing skills in the WorkOS CLI, which uses the Claude Agent SDK to install auth. Attendees learn to iterate skills by reflecting on past conversations and leveraging Claude's built-in skill builder for evaluation.
