Markdown Is The Shared Surface

Markdown sits near the point where human readability and machine readability meet. HTML adds a rendering layer where humans and agents can stop seeing the same artifact.

Claude Prompt Pack Targets Banking Work

An X thread shares 12 Claude prompts for finance-heavy tasks like DCFs, three-statement models, M&A accretion/dilution, LBOs, comps, IPO pricing, and investment committee memos. It reads more like a reusable prompt library for banking workflows than a product launch.

llama.cpp native tools power sandboxed web RAG

A Reddit tutorial shows how to use llama.cpp’s built-in `get_datetime` and `exec_shell_command` tools from the llama-server WebUI, then wrap shell access in Firejail plus a separate Linux user and VM for containment. The result is a local workflow for web fetching and other agent tasks without giving the model direct access to the host.

Codex, GPT-5.5 automate Unity game development

Developer Givros demonstrates an autonomous "vibe-coding" workflow using OpenAI’s Codex 4.0 and GPT-5.5 to build mobile games in Unity. By bridging the AI agent to the Unity Editor via MCP, creators can now generate full-project prototypes—from C# logic to visual assets—while performing other tasks.

Resend turns Claude visibility into strategy

In this Better Stack episode, Resend frames AI discovery as a deliberate growth channel: they want to show up when developers ask Claude for an email API, and they back that up with structured content, clear Q&A sections, and early adoption of LLM-friendly tooling. The broader takeaway is that modern developer products can shape how they are discovered by both search engines and AI assistants if they make their product legible to machines as well as people.
