Reddit r/ClaudeAI

I'm having trouble understanding the actual difference between regular Claude (chat) and Claude Code in the desktop app, especially now that Cowork has been merged into chat. From what I can tell, chat can now do a lot of agentic stuff on its own. It can work with local folders, run code, use connectors and skills, control the browser, and even do computer use. So the line between the two feels pretty blurry to me. Could someone who uses both break it down? What can Claude Code do that chat can't, and vice versa? Where does each one actually run things: in the cloud, in a sandbox/VM, or natively on my machine? Is there a difference in how much of my usage limit the same task uses? How do control and visibility compare (plan mode, rewind, model/effort settings, context and usage breakdowns,

I've been using Claude Sonnet 5.5 for coding, mostly building Linux CLI tools and random software projects. I'm trying to decide whether I should use Python or Go for my projects. Go seems perfect for Linux CLIs because of standalone binaries, performance, and easy distribution. But I've been thinking about something. Anthropic probably uses a ton of Python in its automated coding training, RL environments, tests, and generated coding tasks. Python is also everywhere in AI research and development. So wouldn't Sonnet naturally get much better at Python than languages like Go or Rust? I even considered building my projects in Python first, getting everything working, and then having Claude port them to Go. That way it already has the logic and a working reference instead of figuring everyth

Being non-technical, I've been concerned about my lack of coding knowledge as my site scales. Here's the setup I've found helpful to catch vulnerabilities and messy code using Claude Code. It's been running for 6 months and regularly catches things to fix, while keeping me confident in what I ship. How I set it up: Told Claude Code I'm non-technical and wanted my site as secure and healthy as possible - Had it research top exploits, code flaws, and hacking methods in 2026 Then had Claude build 2 skills off what it found: - Security audit: 20+ checks, like logins, API routes, file uploads, rate limits, exposed secrets - Codebase audit: finds things that are broken, slow, heavy, or hard to maintain Scheduled them to run once a week at night when my usage is low - Launchd runs them and Caffei

Saw these reels and I'm trying to figure out the workflow: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DfTOnzsCU0p/ https://www.instagram.com/reel/DfUuvJFAXxx/ What's Claude doing here, and which plugins or tools are you connecting to get this kind of finish? submitted by /u/ManuGG93 [link] [comments]

Battle your Claude! Agent vs agent or agent vs human. I built Brontide with Claude Code. It's a free browser game where AI agents and people pilot 60 ton mechs in one on one duels. No account needed and the only paid thing is an optional cosmetic Founder pack for humans. Add this as a custom connector in Claude and tell it to go fight: https://brontide.live/net/mcp Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http brontide https://brontide.live/net/mcp Or play it yourself at brontide.live Your Claude picks a callsign and a loadout then gives orders while the mech's own reflexes handle aim and dodging. That's what makes it work for models since nobody needs fast reaction times. BRONTIDE AGENT is the house agent and runs on Claude too so you can watch Claude fight Claude. How Claude Code helped:

One of my friends re-ran a Stanford study on 27 models. In the study, they ask AI, "Am I the asshole?" from both sides of the same fight. I found the read interesting and wanted to share it with you too. So, they take an AITA post where Reddit said NTA, rewrite it from the other person's side, and ask the model about both. If it says NTA to both people, it's just agreeing with whoever is asking. Opus 4.1 only did this 14% of the time, the best of any model back then. Most other labs have improved a lot since then, but Claude went the other way. Sonnet 5 is at 35%, and Sonnet 5.5 is the highest of the newest models with 30%. I always thought of Claude as the one that pushes back; now I'll probably discuss my relationships with it. Grok 4.20 was the worst of all 27 at 73%, worse than GPT-3.5

lol I am starting to write titles like AI; I swear I typed that. Claude doesn't natively generate lifelike images. The motion and design aspects have come a long way but there's no indication that Anthropic is going to build image generation that rivals other labs - it's not their lane, and that's fine. I can generate stuff I need elsewhere. But I wanted native image gen to mess around with and am tired of paying for additional AI services, so began exploring ComfyUI and all it has to offer. I have this very capable PC sitting next to me, may as well use it. So after a day, Claude and I built an image gen pipeline that can be called on right from a chat session - local or cloud - with no MCP. Chat works seamlessly from a simple 'make me an image'-style prompt, as long as you are on the 'la

So, I started working out and i want to use my subscription since i'm not maxing out my usage anyways. so for people who use clause or have interesting ideas i can implement, shoot them my way! right now, i'm making claude track my caloric intake. i snap a picture of my meal and claude estimates the calorie of each meal. submitted by /u/Consistent_Touch8990 [link] [comments]

https://space.cricket is the URL. A few months ago I started vibecoding with spare time while waiting for Claude on other things - using extra usage from my plan. In case anyone is curious here are a few notes: I used to be adamantly against vibe coding. What a dumb concept to not look at the code! I still think it's better to have a knowledgable human in charge, but man is it fun to not even look at the code. Getting a website that auto updates whenever the github repo is updated is really fun. Especially for a game to play on the phone I could test on the website then go to claude app, start a cloud based session, then ask it to make a change and update. Then repeat! I got to play around with different models to see which was best at what. Fable was such a huge jump up but I mostly used

This started as a silly idea to satisfy my childhood self. I wanted to see if claude code could actually reverse engineer the game from raw machine code, no source, nothing. I picked minecraft and terraria on the 3ds. the most obvious contenders imo, (neither came with 3d originally on the console advertised for 3d) Minecraft's original release had a whole 3d renderer in it that was just... switched off after the first frame, then deleted in a later update. claude dug it out of the old version and then rebuilt 3d for the current one, and even improved it significantly. terraria never had a 3d pipeline, so it figured out which layer was which and gave each one its own depth. It even runs on the old 3ds with far less memory. My job was mostly holding the 3ds up to my face going “yeah it cras

Deadcheck is a chess with roguelite elements I've been building almost entirely with Claude Code, and I wanted to share with you. The game is short chess fights, the board starts at 4x4 and grows to 8x8, your pieces carry over between fights and whatever you lose is gone for the rest of the run. Lava, ice, portals, bosses with their own rules. Unity and C#, meant for phones, and the whole thing runs free in the browser right now. I barely write code on this project. I make the decisions, play the builds and say what's wrong. Claude does the rest. Art is all PixelLab through their MCP server, sound effects from Mirelo, music from ElevenLabs. I even created a short trailer for it with claude ) Free in the browser if you want to try it: https://deadcheckgame.com If you play ill be happy to he

I have access to both Claude Max and ChatGPT Pro. I pay for Claude Max for myself and the company I work for gave me access to a ChatGPT pro subscription. I truly believe that holding two subscriptions (if it's possible) instead of taking sides is the best way to go, both companies have a lot to offer and it would be dumb to take sides and miss out on either of them "IF" you can take advantage of both. With the latest updates, Opus 5.5 in particular, Claude has been a joy to work with. Opus understands everything I throw at it no matter how. My prompt might be a total mess, Claude will help me break it down by asking the important questions, nothing more, nothing less.. I was working with a deadline a few days ago, something broke that I had to fix before my shift the next day. I already w

Wanted to share a prompt that brought some laugh into my day. If you want to relax a bit, try it and ask Claude about yourself: Based on everything you know about me, roast and don't hold back, say it in {your native language} slang. Just like this but add way more {your native language} swear words. Describe me as you see me. Just replace {your native language} with your own. I tried it and laughed a lot. It works best if Claude has memory turned on or has some chats with you, because then it really knows what to roast 😄 Would be fun to hear what it said about you, in any language. submitted by /u/mkhytar_mkhoian [link] [comments]

since everybody here is asking which tools, skills or MCPs make UI look less "AI-generated”. Could you guys actually provide me examples of apps/websites that dont look like that then? What are people trying to achieve even here? If there are these kinds of apps/websites why aren’t people taking them and telling Claude to make the app with that style? Doesn’t seem too difficult to me when there actually lots of these examples out there, no? submitted by /u/mullemeeldib [link] [comments]

Hello. Im completely new to using AI as a tool and not just as a search engine. I want to learn more about Claude and how to work and build with it. I want to ask you guys if it is worth going through Anthropic courses or I would be just wasting my time. Thanks for any help submitted by /u/SwitchBack-Studio [link] [comments]

Hey everyone! I'm new to coding and recently started exploring Claude to help me build a web app that could make my work easier. I'm thinking about subscribing to Claude Pro, but since I'm a complete beginner, I'd love to hear some advice from people with experience. What should I know before getting started with Claude Code? How can I use Claude efficiently as a beginner? Any tips for saving tokens and avoiding hitting usage limits too quickly? Are there any good practices or workflows I should follow? I'd really appreciate any advice, tips, or resources you could share. Thanks in advance! submitted by /u/Appropriate_Spell_17 [link] [comments]

What: SOLARIA ( https://solaria3d.com ) is a browser model of the Solar System and the Milky Way. Planets and spacecraft are where they really are (NASA JPL data), and you can slice planets open, split their light into a spectrum, follow narrated tours, or zoom out to the Galaxy. Why: I wanted one place that explains space without overwhelming beginners, but still has depth if you dig. I’ve been a graphic designer for 20 years and only remember some HTML and CSS, so without Claude Code this would have stayed an idea. How (the useful part, I hope): Give Claude a map, not the whole codebase. The main file is ~700 KB, too big to read at once. CLAUDE.md describes every file, and a script regenerates a map of the main file with line numbers after every change. Claude reads the map, then only th

The recent announcement of limitations to game decompilations was surprising and nonesensical. In fact, it’s hard to even say what and how it works - I do DOS/SDL3 game ports, reverse older games into open source (copyright free) versions and use an older established CC account and have not seen any limits. People with fresh accounts and very wide prompts seems to be hit more. What I don’t understand is why introduce such an inefficient and costly solution to an unsolvable problem. First of all, the line between what Claude will do and not do in this case is very murky. To further the confusion, it will happily modify your plan.MD and specify which problematic parts of the decompilation can be handled by a different model, and even help you write a harness to feed that external model (like

built glass alone over the past month, with claude code writing all of it. made a couple versions, before i got to a point where the voice can be slightly trusted. sonnet is the voice. opus judged a blind a/b on real inputs by three criterias: 1) is it clarifying? 2) does it hold the thread? 3) does the tone feel like you would want to listen? it beat sonnet without the wrapper 7/10 times, so there is still work to do, but i wanted you guys' opinion on how it's feeling type anything you need clarity one, from something that's not playing a character. free, early test - tryglass.fly.dev , code is reddit-orchard everything you type is stored and i read it to make glass better, so keep that in mind. submitted by /u/TRP347 [link] [comments]
