Why your AI agent can't see what it built

An AI agent's world is text — it can't see what its code renders unless a tool hands it an image, and even then it needs to know what to look for.

Why your Claude Max plan runs out faster than you expect

Claude usage limits are token-based, not message-based — long visual sessions compound fast, and the fixes cost nothing.

MCP Explained (For People Who Just Want More)

MCP is Anthropic's open standard letting an AI agent call real tools and data instead of only generating text, one server per connected system.

What Is a Context Window? (And Why Filling It Hurts)

A context window is the total text a model holds per turn; filling a 200,000-token window can cost 40% of it before a fix even starts.

What does one Claude Code session actually cost?

A line-item breakdown of a two-hour Claude Code session shows screenshots and recordings, not code, driving the biggest single cost.

Video, Screenshots or Words: The Real Cost to an AI

A worked comparison of what a frame-dumped video, screenshots, and spoken words each cost an AI coding agent to read, using Anthropic's formula.

The vibe coding workflow: a working setup for solo builders

The vibe coding workflow is describe, generate, look, react — the look-and-react half burns the most time and gets almost no dedicated tooling.

Vibe Coding Tools in 2026: The Honest Stack

The 2026 vibe-coding stack has four jobs, agents, voice input, review, and testing, with prices given only where they're actually verified.

A 12-Point Checklist for Verifying AI-Built UI

Twelve checks for what AI coding agents most reliably miss, why they miss each one, and the fastest way to trigger it to verify the fix.

Screen Recording for Claude Code: What Works in 2026

Four ways to show Claude Code your screen, compared on token cost and what each one loses on the way to the agent.

How to review AI-generated code you didn't write

The order that works: data shape, then boundaries, then logic. Top-to-bottom reading misses what AI-generated code gets wrong — and what to grep for.

How to review what your AI coding agent built

How to review AI-generated code: what the agent already checked, what only you can catch, and a loop that closes the gap.

The plan → execute → verify loop, explained

Plan and execute are easy to automate. Verification is where the quality is — and it's the one step an AI agent can't fully do by itself.

Can you feed a Loom video to an AI coding agent?

Loom's AI reads the transcript, not the pixels — so a Loom link never gets your coding agent the screen you pointed at.

How to Give Feedback to Claude Code That Lands

Good feedback to Claude Code names the location, the expectation, and the gap between them — most reports name only the gap, and the fix misses.

How to describe a visual bug to an AI coding agent

'The spacing looks off' gives an agent nothing to fix. Here's what to say instead, with a translation table of real vague-to-specific examples.

Claude Code token costs: where your context actually goes

A 1080p screenshot costs 2,691 tokens by Anthropic's own formula. Here's where the rest of a Claude Code session's tokens actually go.

Why Your Coding Agent Can't Watch a Screen Recording

Claude's API accepts images, not video. What actually happens when you frame-dump a screen recording for your agent — and the token cost.
