The paper tool paper-review-and-digest I shared earlier had only been open-sourced for a few days when it received its first GitHub issue! I was actually quite happy to get my first issue, and I was even more surprised when I opened it: they didn’t just read my code, but accurately pointed out the parts of the design I was most proud of. He said he appreciated the “hard split between the model and deterministic checks”: grade_judge.py doesn’t trust the level of evidence reported by the model itself, but recalculates it from the downgrade items; argdown_lint.py catches argumentative leaps like “jumping from surrogate endpoints to hard endpoints.” Then he said he built an online portal for me, so visitors don’t need to install Claude Code and can just upload a PDF to run the critical appraisal workflow. He even made a promotional image: ...

Lately I’ve been relying more and more on Claude Code to manage my digital life. From organizing my Obsidian notes to maintaining a bunch of self-hosted services at home (OpenWrt router, AdGuard Home, Synology NAS, Oracle cloud instance, Home Assistant), down to the various automations running themselves in the middle of the night, I hand almost everything over to it.
