Audit Your CLAUDE.md

32% of my CLAUDE.md was dead weight. Plus: native git worktrees, open source roundup, and tonight's live stream.

This week's video

In this week's video I walk through a new Claude Code plugin I've started using recently called "Claudit". It's a plugin by Anthony Costanzo that goes through your project and global Claude Code config and performs an audit. The first time I ran it it discovered Claude Code features I wasn't taking advantage of and a bunch of over-engineering in older Claude Code projects. Given that things are constantly evolving, maintaining regular attention on these configurations is important. As we iterate we add new configurations, new memories, etc. to our Claude Code configuration — it's important to go back and audit things. This plugin will walk you through the process. Watch it here →

I Audited My Claude Code Config and Found 32% Was Wasted


Live Tonight — 8:00pm ET

Tonight I'm continuing the CreatorSignal series. The agent loop ran for a weekend and shipped the entire MVP while I wasn't streaming — 879 RSpec tests, Stripe integrated, production-ready. Now it's time to build what makes the product sticky: turning a one-shot validation report into something users actually iterate with.

Tonight I'm adding versioning, inline suggestion actions, and a score comparison view so users can see their idea improve over time. Tune in →


Claude Code Worktrees

Last week, Boris from Anthropic announced that Claude Code has native git worktree support. With this in place the script I introduced in my video on worktrees is no longer necessary. Claude Code worktrees will bring over anything you have in a .worktreeinclude into the worktree — useful for carrying over things like your .env and config/master.key from Rails. I'll be doing a video on this soon, including covering the WorktreeCreate hook. Where Claude's built-in functionality surpasses my original script: you can have subagents work within a worktree.


Exciting open source updates

Vercel Labs released Portless - an npm package to make it easier to deal with spinning up apps and managing port numbers. You can use a stable port and domain / URL and let Portless handle finding an open port to run on. This video by Better Stack does a great job breaking down how to use it and how it works.

Vercel also released the Chat SDK - a unified TypeScript library for building chatbots. You can build a chatbot once and deploy it across Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat, Discord, GitHub and Linear.


Claude Code: Remote Control

On February 24th, Anthropic announced a new feature — Claude Code Remote Control. You can now start a Claude Code session from your computer then hit /remote to start a remote session. After that, you can control your session from your phone. I'm incredibly excited to try this out.


Creator Signal is Live

As of this week Creator Signal, the application I've been building on the live stream, is now live. If you are a YouTube creator or know one, check it out. I've been using it in my YouTube workflow and have found it incredibly useful. I'm curious to hear how others find it. https://www.creatorsignal.io/
