Proposed Topic

Claude Code is a tool that allows one to use models to do agentic coding.

Why This Topic?

LLMs are becoming better and better at coding and text generation, but need a harness in order operate on files. The aim is to roughly go over how harnesses can be used to operate on files using Claude Code as an example.

Suggested Content

  • The difference between the harness and the model.
  • Considerations - context, token usage, sandboxing, etc
  • Harness features, like skills, MCP, and hooks
  • Basic commands and configuration
  • Connecting with a local model.

Potential Presenter

  • I'd like to present this myself
  • I'm just suggesting the topic
