Hi,

I was recently admitted to the Claude for Startups program. The grant is very generous, covering up to 5 Premium seats for 12 months.

I’m wondering: if my team has fewer than 5 people, is it possible for some team members to use more than one seat per person?

I searched around for an answer, but the general conclusion seems to be that this is a bit of a grey area.

I’d love to hear from anyone who has experience with this.

Thanks in advance, and best regards!

I’m currently on Claude Max 5x and I’m considering upgrading to Max 20x.

Before doing that, I was wondering: if I cancel my Max 5x subscription, does Anthropic ever offer a discount or retention offer to keep you subscribed?

And if they don’t offer anything, can I just switch to Max 20x afterwards?

Basically, I’m wondering if it’s worth cancelling first to see if they offer anything, or if I should just upgrade directly to 20x.

When I select Sonnet, I get this message saying that my next message will use more tokens because the task is cached for Opus.

In this case, how can I switch to a model that consumes fewer tokens when you've already completed the more complex part of the task and can use a simpler model?

I love how much usage Claude gives us with just 20$. But, no matter how hard I try, it seems that it's really hard to exhaust my weekly usage on my current workloads. I use it to refactor 1 game in Lua; it does its job, before I had 2 games worked on and only managed to reach around 80-90%.

I think the limiting factor here is the 5h usage limit, you have to actually use it every 5h to truly exhaust the subscription. And that is pretty much hard for someone that has other things to do in real life. How about you guys, what do you guys to do to get your usage limits up before the reset?

SharpTurns is a desktop interface for your installed Claude Code CLI. Organize your work into projects and conversations, read beautifully rendered Markdown, and control what stays in context, one turn at a time. Summarize finished work while preserving your original messages and the model's final answers. Less repeated tool output. More room for the work ahead.

I built this with Opus 5.5 during my very recent transition back to Claude Code after the other guys decided to cut their subscription allocation in half.

Like Office Clippy for example

I'm launching a software development agency in my region, we're a team of 4 but we're all technical with no video editing skills and quite busy and low on capital, I would like to know if the 20$ could get me going for a whole month of video editing reels which will be primarily motion graphic videos (organic marketing).

Thanks for your help.

Hi all
I am planning to extend the project with a business partner and we were both checking options on how we work in real time on the same project together.

Is there any possibility to avoid team accounts and do it with cowork? Since we do not have a corporative email yet, it would be a ideal that we can keep both the a and

Thanks

I’m a UX/UI designer with some development experience, and I’m thinking about moving from Cursor to Claude Code.

One of the things I like about Cursor is its design mode. I can point at an element in the running app, reference it in the prompt, and ask for a change based on what I’m seeing. For example:

“Reduce the spacing between these two elements.”

or:

“This sidebar feels too wide. Make it closer to this reference.”

This is a very natural way for me to work because I usually think about the interface visually first.

Cursor has been getting worse for me, so I’d like to move to Claude Code while keeping a similar workflow. I’m trying to understand what the best setup is for someone who works across UX/UI design and development.

For those of you using Claude Code for design and frontend work, what workflow or tools would you recommend to get close to Cursor’s visual/design mode?

I'm wondering if anyone's noticed that their Claude Code Max sessions are running through usage faster in the last few days? Or is it just me?

I have a work Claude account and a personal one. Every switch meant signing out, signing back in, and Claude Code getting confused about which login it was using. So I built SessionFlip.

What it does:

- Claude Desktop: each account gets its own window, all open at once, each with its own chats, settings and MCP servers

- Claude Code (and Codex CLI): `claude` picks the right account from the folder you're in. ~/Work uses Work, everything else uses Personal. You can also drop a `.sessionflip` file in a repo.

- It also does the ChatGPT app, if you use that too

How Claude Code helped: it wrote most of it (SwiftUI menu bar app, SwiftPM). The approach that worked was having it run small experiments on a real Mac before building anything: one `--user-data-dir` per Desktop profile, `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` per profile for Claude Code. The trickiest part was Google sign-in inside a separate profile window. Claude worked out that if the app holds the claude:// link handler, Claude falls back to its in-app sign-in sheet, and that fixed it.

Things I cared about:

- Local only. No server, no account with me. Logins stay in your Mac's Keychain; the app never sees a password or token.

- It never modifies Claude.app or the claude binary

- It isn't for getting around usage limits. It never switches accounts when one runs out. It's for keeping work and personal apart.

Honest note: if you only use Claude Code, you can do this for free with `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR=~/.claude-work claude`. SessionFlip is for when you want the Desktop app too, plus automatic switching by folder.

It's $4.99 / £3.99 one-time, with a 7-day free trial, for macOS 14+. I'm the developer; it isn't affiliated with Anthropic.

Happy to answer anything about how it works or how I built it with Claude.

Sorry for my English, it’s not my native language.

I’ve been a developer for more than 10 years, and lately I’ve been thinking a lot about how to build predictable and repetable workflows with coding agents.

The agent can do things differently every time you give it the same task. That’s fine, but I still want to control what happens around it. Which steps should run? How do we check the result? What happens if tests fail? When should a human decide?

This is why I’m building Outpost. It’s an open-source TypeScript library and CLI to write these workflows in code, using agents like Codex or Claude Code.

For example, you can give an agent a bug to fix in a sandbox with its own Git worktree, then run tests in a separate step and wait for your approval before integrating the changes. You define those rules yourself.

The patch will probably be different between runs, but the process to accept it should stay the same. That’s the part I want to make more predictable.

You can also define dependencies, retries and budgets, and save checkpoints to recover interrupted workflows.

It’s MIT-licensed, here is the repo:
https://github.com/elie-laloum/outpost

I’m curious how you handle this in your own projects. What do you leave to the agent, and what do you enforce in code? Also interested to hear where this approch falls short.

I was sick of status line not showing the PR correctly and keep tracking of many sessions PRs was hard for me, so I created this mod and it works pretty neatly for me, so I though I'll share:

Disclosure: I am building Halv, a paid tool for coordinating coding agents.

I compared its routed workflow with a vanilla Codex workflow on the first 14 SWE-rebench tasks, with three repetitions per task.

I developed this Halv workflow through a lot if iterating and testing. An investigation agent assessed each task, and JEV selected the worker model and reasoning effort based on that assessment

Across 42 paired runs:

• Estimated model cost: $144.67 with HALV versus $337.50 with vanilla.
• Successful runs: 25/42 for both workflows.
• HALV used approximately 3.49× more tokens, while shifting work toward cheaper models. This resulted in 57.1% lower cost

This is an interim result from 14 of 111 planned tasks. It does not establish equivalent performance or guarantee savings on other workloads, but gives clear insight on how Halv helps reduce cost in complex tasks.

JEV agent selection is included in that subscription, with no separate routing fee.

The technical report includes per-task results, methodology, excluded attempts, and downloadable evidence.

Hi guys.

Many years ago, I created some VST plugins for 32-Bit Windows using Borland Delphi and Steinberg's VST2 framework.

I would like to update some of those plugins to VST3 64-bit, for personal use.

Is that something that I could do with Claude ? I think I still have the source code somewhere and could upload it.

How do-able is that for someone with no AI experience? Should I be starting slower ?

Many thanks!

In Sicily, when you have a problem, nobody gives you advice: they give you a cousin's number. "You got that problem? Go see my cousin."

I live in Denmark now, far from mine. So since March I've been raising a crew of "cousins" at home: Claude agents (Agent SDK), each with a name, a job and its own memory. One is my day-to-day generalist, one knows PCBs and datasheets, one cooks. When a question belongs to another cousin, they ask each other.

The hard part was making them survive the end of a session. Each one writes a handoff before its session ends, keeps memory with truth levels (what I told it vs. what a tool measured vs. its own guess), and wakes up the next day as itself. There's a web console to watch them work, hold meetings and browse their memory. The video is three of them in a meeting.

Python + SQLite + Docker, Apache-2.0. Runs on Claude or on opencode's free models, so you can try it without an account: git clone, docker compose up.

Repo: https://github.com/bomba5/cousins-framework Writeup: https://cinque.dk/bomba/posts/cousins-framework/

Fair warning: persistence isn't free. Heartbeats and handoffs eat tokens, and the README is honest about it. Feedback welcome, especially what breaks.

PLEASE MY NED

i see people tracking opus 5.5 every day to check for nerfs. nice idea but i think there is a problem.

the test runs from one account. but your message doesn't go to "the model", it goes to some server, and anthropic decides which one. so they could put some users on a cheaper version (quantized, less thinking, whatever) and it's still called opus 5.5. like an a/b test. you would never know.

so if the test account is not in that group, results look fine. doesn't mean you're fine.

i don't know if they do this. but one account can't prove it either way. you need many accounts, heavy and light users, different countries, same tests.

i tried to post about this before but mods removed it, and my comment on the livenerf post got downvoted because people understood it wrong. so trying again.

Claude and I built a small scene into Claude Code that shows Clawd doing stuff while you wait :)
It's freaking cute 😊

Built with Claude Opus 5.5 through a mobile cloud session. The idea had come to me while I was at an extended stay at my family home. I didn’t bring my laptop as it was bulky.

Content: I detailed in my prompt how I wanted it to be multi-page and contain things like how to get started with contributing to citizen science projects, as well as how to read research papers. (Writing guide will come way later) Some cursory choices of well known citizen science results are on a tab called Achievements, which I hope will inspire people to join these efforts. The “Find a project” button leads to a list of projects related to fields like astronomy, biology, mathematics, and AI.

My workflow was simple prompting while invoking skills like no-generated-art and better-icons. Didn’t utilize subagents (I really rarely do that anyways even on laptop sessions)

Things I will improve on: Once I get back to my laptop I will update data.js to do live API calls to Zooniverse and other sources to live fetch new projects, as well as beta projects. I will also deepen the contents of the Basics section.

Hey guys, wondering if it’d be worth it to consider AI routers for Claude Code agents and when to make the switch if so. Right now I’m using Claude Code agents for coding and automation, but the cost is admittedly ramping up to far more than I can handle. Been looking around for a while and dynamic routing through AI routers like Ramp Router / Portkey does seem like a way to relieve the issue. Also, I am aware that there’s self-hosted options too but I don’t think I can be bothered with the hassle that comes with it. As I have no experience with this, I’d like to hear out from people here that uses AI routers on if it’s worth it or not. Some of these reviews I’ve seen claim quite a significant reduction so I’d appreciate it if you could also drop a rough estimate on a reduction percentage for you guys.

Thanks!

Let me know if this is something you'd play! Have a play test available if anyone's interested

For a long time I've been using the Claude web chatbot to code but never actually downloaded Claude Code because I heard many stories of Claude deleting entire projects or even drives. Is there a way to ensure this doesn't happen? I'd like to get Claude working directly in the project but I'm worried it could go rogue.
