This is a prompt that I use to create adversarial codebase audits. I've had limited success running this with Mythos or Fable without it bumping down to Opus, but your mileage may vary as Anthropic relaxes restrictions over time.

has it been enough time since the last time? YUP, repost, follow all, you know the drill! for anyone new to the atmosphere and specifically the atproto dev side of things, welcome home.
Meetup went downhill so hard. Jumped ship with @devict.org this year finally.

I'd love to see more folks fill out the interest form for testing monetization features on Leaflet! I'm particularly excited to hear what y'all think about this part — ideas for going *beyond* the typical paid subs model
Piloting paid memberships for the open social web!
Lab Notes 035: building monetization features for Leaflet creators, starting with paid memberships — tell us if you'd like to be the first to try, and what else you need!

This is a prompt that I use to create a PRD from a code repository. It's pretty token heavy, but I've found it really useful for reverse engineering repositories into PRDs for creating subsequent testing, capability, integration, and interoperability plans.

Our code lives on @tangled.org. Another on-protocol choice: Tangled is built on AT Protocol, so our repositories belong to our identity, not to a platform account. One more piece of Lexicon Community in the atmosphere, one step closer to 100%. https://tangled.org/lexicon.community

PDS folks! Working on a redesign of the authentication and dashboard screens for the reference PDS, bringing in a proper component library and consistent patterns across the UI. One notable change: customizable light/dark backgrounds on the auth screens. Let us know what you think! #atproto
RaceTheSky.app is the first game built on the atproto from the ground up. Your Bsky account IS your account. No signup, no password, no player database. Races are stored in your PDS, each is a record in your own repo: the input log, the track, the conditions. Server verified accurate results.
Race the Sky
Hold to tether, release to sling. One-touch slingshot racing — fly as your Bluesky avatar and race your friends' ghosts.

hey bluesky, i've been unemployed since i graduated. i'm proficient in typescript and python, and can learn new stuff fairly quick. also familiar with using LLMs in various ways. Please hire me.
This really is amazing work. @bad-example.com, you’re crushing it.
fig (aka:[phil])@bad-example.com · 4d agoa neat thing about hubble is that you can get a point-in-time* snapshot of the whole network. vs doing your own backfill crawl, which will give you samples spread over a >24h period any researchers who want this, feel free to reach out
Hey interoperability nerds: I need a word for actors in distributed social media systems that provide content moderation services. Blockparty is an example. Bluesky labelers and algorithm providers are examples. Blacksky is an example because of its content rules (but having a PDS doesn't matter).
ANNOUNCEMENT: I’ve been working on putting together something between a retreat and a hackathon for #atproto builders for the past several weeks. I’ve been in discussion with potential funders and some funding has become available to make this a reality. now, I need your help!! KEEP READING 👇🏽

Seventh in the atproto permissioned-data series: notifications. One self-keyed space per identity, every app writing through a create-only grant, and a reader you choose doing the triage. The self shape returns, direction flipped.
Permissioned Data Shapes: Notifications
A self-keyed space gives notifications a home you control: every app gets an append-only sink to write into, you pick the reader that turns them into pushes and emails, and allowing or revoking an app is an access control you already have.

🧵 Blacksky is looking to buy a server for $30k USD. We'd like the following specs or better: - 384 GB RAM - 80 TB NVMe; ZFS RAIDZ2 in 2 vdevs - 1 Gbps + 10 Gpbs burstable - at least 84 threads for the CPU(s) - Ideally somewhere in the eastern half of North America but open to North America and EU
hello it is my birthday today!!! 🎂🎈⚔️ if you would like to chip in for server costs for this (constantly growing 😅) game and support my other atproto projects that would be so cool and nice and really make my day and/or invite your friends to play @middleearth.quest too!! 😎

There are many things being built on atproto. Many of them won’t get adopted or thrive. And yes, many are built without user research. It’s OK? Don’t use things you don’t want to. Promote things you like. And build something yourself if you feel like it. Do it the way YOU want it to be.

Just released a new project: Radial, a coding-agent orchestrator for atproto. It's a bit like a team issue tracker where you run your own agents with a system to capture what your agents learn into durable, reviewable team memory. www.disnetdev.com/blog/introdu...
