I use it but not for daily coding/chatops-ing. It’s great to have my chosen tools available from slack while I’m mobile though. Yesterday Mr claw gave a coworker read access to a GitHub repository at my command while I was in line at Home Depot. I’ve got a PR ready that proves authentication with an otp challenge.
In the current version yes, never intended to build it as pure cli app. But if there is a lot of interest in this functionality this is something I can focus on in upcoming releases.
I’d been re-teaching Claude to craft Rest-api calls with curl every morning for months before i realized that skills would let me delegate that to cheaper models, re-using cached-token-queries, and save my context window for my actual problem-space CONTEXT.

what the fuck, there is absolutely no way this was cheaper or more productive than just learning to use curl and writing curl calls yourself. Curl isn't even hard! And if you learn to use it, you get WAY better at working with HTTP!
You're kneecapping yourself to expend more effort than it would take to just write the calls, helping to train a bot to do the job you should be doing
My interpretation of the parent comment was that they were loading specific curl calls into context so that Claude could properly exercise the endpoints after making changes.
i know how to use curl. (I was a contributor before git existed) … watching Claude iterate to re-learn whether to try application/x-form-urle ncoded or GET /?foo wastes SO MUCH time and fills your context with “how to curl” that you re-send over again until your context compacts.
You are bad at reading comprehension. My comment meant I can tell Claude “update jira with that test outcome in a comment” and, Claude can eventually figure that out with just a Key and curl, but that’s way too low level.
What I linked to literally explains that, with code and a blog post.
The uptake on Claude-skills seems to have a lot of momentum already!
I was fascinated on Tuesday by “Superpowers” , https://blog.fsck.com/2025/10/09/superpowers/
… and then packaged up all the tool-building I’ve been working on for awhile into somewhat tidy skills that i can delegate agents to:
Delegation is super cool. I can sometimes end up having too much Linear issue context coming in. IE frequently I want a Linear issue description and last comment retrieved. Linear MCP grabs all comments which pollutes the context and fills it up too much.
This really resonated with me, it's echoing the way i've come to appreciate Claude-code in a terminal for working in/on/with unix-y hosts.
A trick I use often with this pattern is (for example):
'you can run shell commands. Use tmux to find my session named "bingo", and view the pane in there. you can also use tmux to send that pane keystrokes. when you run shell commands, please run them in that tmux pane so i can watch. Right now that pane is logged into my cisco router..."
is anyone going to point out that the linked website is absolute AI-generated ad-filled slop? or is this just a comments thread starter for "hey, morse code, right?"
