Skiff v2 is coming: your agents run on another computer and you drive them from this one. Add a server in Settings › Hosts and Skiff sets itself up there over SSH and keeps running after you log out. Folders come from a list, no typing paths. Testing on my LAN now, a VPS next. - Post and video built from Skiff via my phone 🤓

While building Skiff v2 with Skiff, I realized I needed Project Skippers. Orchestrating different projects through one agent started to get nuts. Now every project can have its own Skipper, so the main Skipper can drop anchor and keep watch while I relax. Live in Skiff 1.7.

Don't you love going to the support portal and searching for something like > how to make a payment and they send you to the ancient library of payment scrolls instead of answering with <a href="/payments">Make Payment</a> 💀

The more I use Skiff, the more I want it to connect to other computers. So I'm working on v2: remote hosts. I already had a good client/daemon split. Now I'm refactoring it so the daemon owns the projects, fleets and ledgers. The goal: 1. Launch Skiff on your computer 2. Add an SSH host 3. Skiff installs the daemon and sets up the server for you I might turn into a VPS AI dev 😭

We pushed a new version of migrate-filemaker. If you're a FileMaker developer, the part to look at first is the explode step. FileMaker exports a DDR as one XML file per database file. Our test DDR was 174 MB across two files. Grepping raw DDR XML is miserable. So the skill takes it apart. Every script, table, layout, relationship, value list, custom function, menu, account and privilege set becomes its own text file. Scripts come out as numbered steps. Layouts come out as an object tree with their hide rules, triggers, buttons and portal filters. Every calculation shows its text plus a refs line listing the fields and custom functions it uses, so finding everything that touches Invoices::total is one grep. On the test DDR that took 20 seconds and produced 4,542 object files covering 36,051 calculations. With the DDR in pieces, the work splits across agents. In the test, 22 subagents read all 4,542 objects in about 12 minutes, and the migration plan cites object files as its evidence.

Why can't @AppStore do this like @MicrosoftStore ? Dosirak is $24.49 at launch... but hey look! You can download a trial right there. Isn't this way better than listing the app as "Free" and then, surprise surprise, hitting your users with trial terms and paywalls AFTER they install?

I don't buy the claims from anyone running software factories and one-shotting entire systems overnight. The human care and judgment it takes to build anything truly useful is the same as it's always been.

Microsoft gets a lot of criticism (often well deserved), but one thing they get right is the Microsoft Store review process. You can upload an MSIX and have it approved in under 30 minutes. Are you shipping to the Microsoft Store? If not, why? There are like 250 million people using that store every month.

AI interviews are the self-checkout lanes of the employment-industrial complex.

One thing I love about VSCode, maybe the only thing 🫢, is saving projects in a workspace. I'm now bringing that same concept to Skiff. Save your open projects and fleets to a .skiffw file so you can quickly switch workspaces without going insane. How do you manage the chaos?

New in Skiff: the Ledger. Every job Skipper hands out lands here, grouped into Working, Open, and Finished, with progress counts and links to the issue or commit behind it. Skiff, Dosirak, Redstrings, all in one panel. I can see what the crew is doing without asking, and without cycling through dozens of panes.

Sometimes it feels like every solution exists. You build something, put it out there, nobody cares. Marketing without an audience is harder than building it. Try showing up. Pick up the phone, be in the room, be the local person they call. That part is hard to copy.

Skiff Agent: Coordinate Coding Agents with Skipper youtube.com/watch?v=V3krR-TY…

How do you decide which model gets which job? In Skiff I set defaults now. Web search goes to Gemini. What's trending on X goes to Grok. Coding and design go to Opus. Reviews go to Codex. What does your split look like?

Skiff Day ... lost count You can now set default agents and models for different task types. Web search, send Gemini. What's trending on X, send Grok. Coding and design, send Opus 5.5. Adversarial ASHKUALLY reviews, send Codex GPT6. Skipper works and watches all day. Wakes you up with a pirate shanty, if you want.

YouTube makes everything seem so easy. Just DIY bro. Then you meet the final boss, a "serviceable" part, buried in a cramped space, secured by a brittle plastic mechanism that requires a very specific movement nobody explains properly. 💀
