Can't write a for-loop. 40+ repos anyway. All born from conversations in Chinese.
Jan 2026: "Hey Claude, help me write a WeChat article." (Claude Desktop)
Feb 2026: "OK maybe just one bot..." (still on Desktop)
Mar 2026: Typed claude in terminal. Claude Code era begins. No turning back.
Apr 2026: Codex shows up. Now there are two of them. They review each other's code while I watch. By month-end the roster peaked at five:
┌──────────┐ ┌──────────┐ ┌──────────┐ ┌──────────┐ ┌────────────┐
│ AntiBot │ │ 睿智 │ │ AWS-bot │ │ 小试AI │ │LanceDB Test│
│ Opus 4.7 │ │Gemini 3.1│ │Codex 5.5 │ │MiniMax M2│ │ Opus 4.7 │
└──────────┘ └──────────┘ └──────────┘ └──────────┘ └────────────┘
Peak roster — Apr 2026
May 2026: An "E-twin" — a digital me on Telegram that talks like me. Eerie but useful. Also: Hermes consolidation. 睿智 and 小试AI merged into Anti. Five bots collapse into three. Same throughput, half the moving parts. (小试AI stays on as a pen name — it'll outlive us all anyway.)
Now:
┌──────────┐ ┌──────────┐ ┌────────────┐
│ Anti │ │ AWS-bot │ │LanceDB Test│
│ gpt-5.5 │ │ gpt-5.5 │ │ fixture │
└──────────┘ └──────────┘ └────────────┘
3 bots · 1 E-twin · 40+ repos · 0 for-loops
I still can't write a for-loop from memory. Claude doesn't seem to mind.
Class: Non-coder with suspiciously many repos
Superpower: 死磕 — will bang head against wall until wall breaks
Weakness: Social situations, verbal expression, for-loops
Fuel: High-protein everything. (No fat, I have standards.)
Hobbies: Singing, swimming, laughing (at everything, really)
Temperament: Impatient optimist — breaks things fast, bounces back faster
Hidden gene: Whatever makes you mass-produce repos at 3am and still function
Partner: Claude — Desktop first, then Code. More conversations than any human collaborator.
Terminal: claude → ^C^C → claude (that's it. the full skill tree. maxed out.)
Stay optimistic, funny, curious, and a little bit lucky. Then dive in and don't stop.
| The sensible approach | What I actually did |
|---|---|
| Open terminal | Type claude. That's also my IDE, my shell, and my entire dev environment. |
| Write code | Describe what I want in Chinese. Claude writes it. |
| Debug | "It broke again" + paste the error |
git rebase |
"Claude, what does this even mean?" |
| Code review | Ask a second Claude to roast the first one |
| Need an image | Ask Gemini. That's about all Gemini does around here. |
| Need a second opinion | "帮我 duo 一下 Codex" — Claude spawns Codex via relay-cli. Now standard, not rare. |
| Read error logs | "WHERE IS YOUR LOGIC??" |
| Rollback | "You wrote this yourself and you don't recognize it??" |
| Deploy | "It was JUST working! Did you lose your memory?!" |
| Kill a process | "Good job, take a rest" (yes, I'm talking to Claude) |
| Rush to ship | "Slow down — people on old versions haven't caught up yet" |
| Write commit msg | "Thanks for staying up late with me" |
| Write docs | hahahahahaha (no) |
Started with "hey Claude, write me an article." Three months and one terminal command later: an empire.
Half of these solve problems that official products now address too. I built them first, or built them different. Not sorry.

40+ repos · 9 layers · 0 for-loops
🎨 Interface — where you click things
| claude-code-studio | Multiple Claude instances as a coordinated team. Official Teams? Built mine first. |
| cc-remote-term | Web-based remote terminal for the CLI. xterm.js + node-pty. iPad-friendly. |
🏰 Environment — the command center
| cc-empire | Hooks, rules, methodology, frameworks — the connective tissue of the whole ecosystem |
| repo-insight | Skill for deep architectural analysis of open-source projects. Why > What philosophy. |
🌉 Bridge — Claude in your pocket
| telegram-ai-bridge | CC on Telegram. Subway, bed, lunch break — no excuse not to build. |
| wechat-ai-bridge | CC on WeChat via iLink API |
| openclaw-tunnel | HTTP task queue bridge for Docker containers |
| iphone-sensor-bridge-poc | iPhone browser → Mac inbox. PoC, lives on the mini. |
🧠 Memory — it forgot my name. I took that personally.
| recallnest | Shared memory MCP. Claude, Codex, Gemini — everyone remembers now. |
| babel-memory | Multilingual fix for BM25 — 27+ languages, zero deps. Used by RecallNest + UltraMemory. |
✍️ Content — the article factory
| content-publisher | Image gen + layout + WeChat publishing |
| digital-clone-skill | My personality, replicated. Sometimes it writes better than me. |
🪞 Mirror — me but on Telegram
| etwin-bot | E-Twin. A digital me on Telegram. Talks in my voice. Sometimes catches things I'd miss. PoC, runs on Mac mini. |
🎯 Orchestration — speak naturally, pipeline flows automatically
| workflow-orchestrator | Natural language pipeline: ideation → multi-role review → execution → shipping. No commands. |
| relay-cli | duo — Claude ↔ Codex relay. Both can talk, both can be braked. The 三角制衡 layer. |
| agent-room-cli | Local CLI room. Humans, Claude Code, Codex — mention-based routing. |
🔧 Tools — single-purpose, sharp
| slidesmith | HTML slides → editable PowerPoint. Local-first, no upload, no limits. |
🎭 Whimsy — built because I wanted to
| copium | COPIUM Anxiety ER — a cyberpunk emergency room for anxiety. Walk in panicked, walk out laughing. |
🪦 Archive (repos that gave their lives so others could merge)
| Repo | Cause of death |
|---|---|
cc-genius |
Succeeded by cc-remote-term. The Web client era closed. |
content-alchemy |
Migrated into skill form (~/.claude/skills/content-alchemy/). Repo retired with honors. |
openclaw-worker + openclaw-cli-bridge |
Merged into openclaw-tunnel. Two became one. Romantic, really. |
openclaw-content-alchemy + content-alchemy-new |
Evolved into content-alchemy + content-publisher |
openclaw-cli-pipeline · openclaw-mas-guide |
Retired with honors |
cc-shell |
Archived — cc-genius covered the iPad use case better. Then cc-genius itself bowed out. Layered exits. |
telegram-cli-bridge |
Succeeded by telegram-ai-bridge. The prototype era. |
agent-nexus |
Absorbed into cc-empire. The quick-start became the empire. |
cc-rules-cookbook + cc-hooks-gallery |
Merged into cc-empire. Rules + hooks now live under one roof. |
a2a-js · wechat-decrypt |
One-time forks/mirrors — did the job, stepped off stage. |
DS-V3-info · BlazorGeminiChat · grokbot |
The early days. We don't talk about the early days. |
