Claude Code Mode plugin lets Claude write one sandboxed JS program to chain your MCP tools

Instead of calling MCP tools one by one and dumping every full result into context, the model writes a single JavaScript program that calls the tools, filters and joins the output in an isolated Node process, and returns only the final answer. It needs Node.js 22.13+, keeps normal MCP permission checks, and installs with /plugin marketplace add gabe4coding/claude-code-mode.

Karpathy: the gap in how people understand LLM capability is now a sharp funnel, and it's widening

By his napkin math, about 6B people have barely touched LLMs, 1 to 2B use free tier chatbots, roughly 20M see agents finish weeks long math and code projects from a prompt, and about 5,000 inside labs see swarms of agents working for weeks. He blames scale of ambition, capability peaking in verifiable domains like code, and access tiers, and warns that human review is starting to fall behind…

"Why are coding agents so dumb?": mtlynch argues the harness, not the model, is now the bottleneck

A daily OpenCode and Claude Code user says agents still run parallel subtasks one at a time, never hand gruntwork to cheaper models, write hard to read plans, stall overnight on trivial questions, and lack real OS level sandboxes. He lists table stakes he wants out of the box, including per task model routing, deterministic filesystem and network boundaries, and an AFK mode that decides after 30 minutes without a reply…

Harvard study of 718 firms: coding agents add 30% more code but no measurable rise in resolved issues

Using Jellyfish data on about 300 million work events, Fiona Chen and James Stratton find agent adoption raised lines, commits, and PRs by 20 to 30% while completed Jira issues and epics showed no statistically significant gain. They point to review as the bottleneck: PR submission to merge time rose 49% (3.45 days), change requests nearly doubled, and comments per PR rose 35%…

bigarrow lets Claude Code and Codex draw arrows on your Mac screen when they need you to click something

The MIT Swift CLI and agent skill puts a labeled, click through arrow, box, or ring over any window (an Allow button, a 2FA field, the right Chrome tab) without taking focus, and it never clicks, types, or captures the screen itself. Each arrow removes itself on a timer or when the agent exits, installs with brew install franzenzenhofer/tap/bigarrow , and the Show HN passed 400 points…
