So, what the hell am I doing making a So, what the hell am I doing making a video about good parts of Claude code? video about good parts of Claude code? video about good parts of Claude code? Well, as I hinted at the start, I've Well, as I hinted at the start, I've Well, as I hinted at the start, I've been using it a ton and I've noticed a been using it a ton and I've noticed a been using it a ton and I've noticed a handful of things I actually really handful of things I actually really handful of things I actually really like. I'll be transparent with my goal like. I'll be transparent with my goal like. I'll be transparent with my goal here. I want every other harness to here. I want every other harness to here. I want every other harness to steal all of these things. I'm making steal all of these things. I'm making steal all of these things. I'm making this video not because Claude code is this video not because Claude code is this video not because Claude code is better and I want everyone to appreciate better and I want everyone to appreciate better and I want everyone to appreciate how great it is, but because I want how great it is, but because I want how great it is, but because I want everything else to take the good parts everything else to take the good parts everything else to take the good parts so that I don't miss Claude code when I so that I don't miss Claude code when I so that I don't miss Claude code when I use other things. So, knowing that, what use other things. So, knowing that, what use other things. So, knowing that, what are those things? One of the things are those things? One of the things are those things? One of the things Claude code does really differently with Claude code does really differently with Claude code does really differently with their skills is the ability to execute their skills is the ability to execute their skills is the ability to execute scripts in them. There's a lot of use scripts in them. There's a lot of use scripts in them. There's a lot of use cases where it's nice for the model to cases where it's nice for the model to cases where it's nice for the model to know things when it loads the skill know things when it loads the skill know things when it loads the skill instead of having to load the skill and instead of having to load the skill and instead of having to load the skill and then do things and then do the next then do things and then do the next then do things and then do the next step. But, this is a feature that Claude step. But, this is a feature that Claude step. But, this is a feature that Claude code does really well that I think code does really well that I think code does really well that I think people are too hesitant to introduce. people are too hesitant to introduce. people are too hesitant to introduce. Next, I want to talk about the Claude MD Next, I want to talk about the Claude MD Next, I want to talk about the Claude MD for a bit. I have issues here in for a bit. I have issues here in for a bit. I have issues here in particular that the Claude MD and Agent particular that the Claude MD and Agent particular that the Claude MD and Agent MD are competing standards, but I have MD are competing standards, but I have MD are competing standards, but I have come around to some of the cool things come around to some of the cool things come around to some of the cool things you could do in the Claude MD. Claude MD you could do in the Claude MD. Claude MD you could do in the Claude MD. Claude MD files can import additional files using files can import additional files using files can import additional files using at path/to/import at path/to/import at path/to/import syntax. Imported files are expanded and syntax. Imported files are expanded and syntax. Imported files are expanded and loaded into context at launch alongside loaded into context at launch alongside loaded into context at launch alongside the Claude MD that references them. This the Claude MD that references them. This the Claude MD that references them. This also means you can do a very convenient also means you can do a very convenient also means you can do a very convenient thing for those of us who are annoyed thing for those of us who are annoyed thing for those of us who are annoyed that the Agent MD and Claude MD are that the Agent MD and Claude MD are that the Agent MD and Claude MD are different at agents.md.

different at agents.md. different at agents.md. Now, my Claude MD is my agents.md. This Now, my Claude MD is my agents.md. This Now, my Claude MD is my agents.md. This is a really nice pattern, especially is a really nice pattern, especially is a really nice pattern, especially because it works with things other than because it works with things other than because it works with things other than markdown, and I wish more things would markdown, and I wish more things would markdown, and I wish more things would copy it. While I was reading these docs copy it. While I was reading these docs copy it. While I was reading these docs to get this information, I found another to get this information, I found another to get this information, I found another really cool feature I didn't know about, really cool feature I didn't know about, really cool feature I didn't know about, which is launching sessions from links. which is launching sessions from links. which is launching sessions from links. They actually have their own HTTP code They actually have their own HTTP code They actually have their own HTTP code here, claude-cli://, here, claude-cli://, here, claude-cli://, that allows you to open things in Claude that allows you to open things in Claude that allows you to open things in Claude CLI. So, you can have a page that CLI. So, you can have a page that CLI. So, you can have a page that someone makes that has a bunch of links someone makes that has a bunch of links someone makes that has a bunch of links in it to trigger Claude CLI. But, one of in it to trigger Claude CLI. But, one of in it to trigger Claude CLI. But, one of the really nice things Claude code has the really nice things Claude code has the really nice things Claude code has that I haven't seen anyone else do is a that I haven't seen anyone else do is a that I haven't seen anyone else do is a special command /by the way, which lets special command /by the way, which lets special command /by the way, which lets you ask a quick side question without you ask a quick side question without you ask a quick side question without interrupting the main conversation. But, interrupting the main conversation. But, interrupting the main conversation. But, what I want to show off is workflows. what I want to show off is workflows. what I want to show off is workflows. Because workflows aren't just a bunch of Because workflows aren't just a bunch of Because workflows aren't just a bunch of tool calls the agent can do, you let the tool calls the agent can do, you let the tool calls the agent can do, you let the agent write code to do a thing instead. agent write code to do a thing instead. agent write code to do a thing instead. By default, workflows use up to eight By default, workflows use up to eight By default, workflows use up to eight agents in parallel, and it will agents in parallel, and it will agents in parallel, and it will constantly be spinning up new ones as constantly be spinning up new ones as constantly be spinning up new ones as previous work is finished. One more that previous work is finished. One more that previous work is finished. One more that a lot of you told me to talk about, a lot of you told me to talk about, a lot of you told me to talk about, which I haven't used yet, but I've heard which I haven't used yet, but I've heard which I haven't used yet, but I've heard really good things, so I'm going to try really good things, so I'm going to try really good things, so I'm going to try it here, is remote control. So, now I've it here, is remote control. So, now I've it here, is remote control. So, now I've given the ability for this Claude Code given the ability for this Claude Code given the ability for this Claude Code instance on my real computer to be instance on my real computer to be instance on my real computer to be controlled through claude.ai the website controlled through claude.ai the website controlled through claude.ai the website or from my phone using the Claude app. I or from my phone using the Claude app. I or from my phone using the Claude app. I can click audit, open PRs, and workflow can click audit, open PRs, and workflow can click audit, open PRs, and workflow planning. And this is the exact run that planning. And this is the exact run that planning. And this is the exact run that is going on on my computer right now.

is going on on my computer right now. is going on on my computer right now. There's a lot of things in Claude Code There's a lot of things in Claude Code There's a lot of things in Claude Code that are good. I went out of my way to that are good. I went out of my way to that are good. I went out of my way to not talk about the bad here, not talk about the bad here, not talk about the bad here, but I might have to in the future. So, but I might have to in the future. So, but I might have to in the future. So, if you want me to do a video where I if you want me to do a video where I if you want me to do a video where I tear apart all of the things that Claude tear apart all of the things that Claude tear apart all of the things that Claude Code does wrong, let me know in the Code does wrong, let me know in the Code does wrong, let me know in the comments.
Summary
The main theme is the positive aspects of Claude code, specifically its skill execution, Claude MD importing, and session launching via links. The transcript highlights the utility of Claude code's script execution within skills, the import functionality of Claude MD files, and the ability to launch sessions directly from `claude-cli://` links. The practical takeaway is that other platforms should adopt these features to improve user experience and avoid missing out on useful functionalities.
