A pragmatic developer shares early impressions of using coding agents, specifically the obra/superpowers toolkit combined with Claude. The main focus is on context management — how to point agents to the right code and teach them your personal development style. The author prefers a lightweight toolchain (Vim, TMUX) and finds obra/superpowers fits that philosophy better than heavier alternatives like 'get-shit-done'. Also notes Claude's new CLAUDE_CODE_NEW_INIT env var for making CLAUDE.md more dynamic as a promising direction.
