Poiesic Systems

In the few hours a day I’m not spending on building Collabchek I’ve been hacking on a personal AI chat client. I’ve used several and the one that’s come closest to what I want has been sigogden’s very cool aichat project which I encourage you to check out. I’ve liberally borrowed several good ideas from their code.

As I’ve explored I’ve come to realize my requirements are somewhat unique.

Here’s a quick hack I came up with while experimenting with git worktrees and multiple coding agents and dealing with pod naming collisions when bringing up multiple copies of my local dev stack.

tl;dr Install these tools

Here’s the priority order for maximum impact:

1. ripgrep, fd, gh - These transform search and git workflows
2. golangci-lint, goimports, gotests - Go development gets SO much smoother
3. gofumpt, staticcheck - Polish that code to a shine
4. jq, bat, fzf - Quality of life improvements you didn’t know you needed

Claude will use these if installed. Since most/all are much faster than the built-in tools they replace it’s a clear win.

Building AI prototypes as an indie developer taught me three non-obvious lessons that challenge what I thought I knew about working with LLMs.
