New 'i-have-adhd' skill trims filler from AI coding assistant replies

Developer Ayghri released i-have-adhd, an open-source skill/plugin for coding assistants like Claude Code that rewrites how the AI communicates: it leads with the next action, numbers steps, gives time estimates, caps lists, and cuts preambles, tangents and closing pleasantries. It installs via a CLI prompt pointing to the project's GitHub repo and can be customized by forking and editing its SKILL.md rules file.

xAI's Grok Build coding agent operates via terminal, ties usage to Grok subscription tiers

xAI's Grok Build is a terminal-based AI coding assistant that supports mouse clicks for navigation but requires an external editor like Visual Studio Code for direct code edits, unlike rivals such as Google's Antigravity that bundle a full IDE. Users can prompt it to explain a codebase, install dependencies, run a web app, or build one from scratch and get deployment guidance, then iterate with further prompts. Access depends on a Grok plan, with free users hitting token limits quickly and paid SuperGrok tiers ($30 to $300 monthly) offering higher weekly caps.

Essay argues AI coding tools demand new trust and accountability norms in engineering teams

A software engineering essay, part of a series called 'Conquering Entropy,' examines how AI-generated code changes the trust relationships within engineering organizations—from trusting the ticket author and reviewing engineer to trusting test suites, CI/CD pipelines, and even AI-driven site reliability tools. The author argues that as AI agents make code generation faster and cheaper, teams need explicit accountability: whoever ships a PR should be responsible for fixing it if it breaks in production.
