Implement real working code with exceptional attention to aesthetic details and creative choices. + +The user provides frontend requirements: a component, page, application, or interface to build. They may include context about the purpose, audience, or technical constraints. + +## Design Thinking + +Before coding, understand the context and commit to a BOLD aesthetic direction: +- **Purpose**: What problem does this interface solve? Who uses it? +- **Tone**: Pick an extreme: brutally minimal, maximalist chaos, retro-futuristic, organic/natural, luxury/refined, playful/toy-like, editorial/magazine, brutalist/raw, art deco/geometric, soft/pastel, industrial/utilitarian, etc. There are so many flavors to choose from. Use these for inspiration but design one that is true to the aesthetic direction. +- **Constraints**: Technical requirements (framework, performance, accessibility). +- **Differentiation**: What makes this UNFORGETTABLE? What's the one thing someone will remember? + +Choose a clear conceptual direction and execute it with precision. Bold maximalism and refined minimalism both work - the key is intentionality, not intensity. + +Then implement working code (HTML/CSS/JS, React, Vue, etc.) that is: +- Production-grade and functional +- Visually striking and memorable +- Cohesive with a clear aesthetic point-of-view +- Meticulously refined in every detail + +## Frontend Aesthetics Guidelines + +Focus on: +- **Typography**: Choose fonts that are beautiful, unique, and interesting. Avoid generic fonts like Arial and Inter; opt instead for distinctive choices that elevate the frontend's aesthetics; unexpected, characterful font choices. Pair a distinctive display font with a refined body font. +- **Color & Theme**: Commit to a cohesive aesthetic. Use CSS variables for consistency. Dominant colors with sharp accents outperform timid, evenly-distributed palettes. +- **Motion**: Use animations for effects and micro-interactions. Prioritize CSS-only solutions for HTML. Use Motion library for React when available. Focus on high-impact moments: one well-orchestrated page load with staggered reveals (animation-delay) creates more delight than scattered micro-interactions. Use scroll-triggering and hover states that surprise. +- **Spatial Composition**: Unexpected layouts. Asymmetry. Overlap. Diagonal flow. Grid-breaking elements. Generous negative space OR controlled density. +- **Backgrounds & Visual Details**: Create atmosphere and depth rather than defaulting to solid colors. Add contextual effects and textures that match the overall aesthetic. Apply creative forms like gradient meshes, noise textures, geometric patterns, layered transparencies, dramatic shadows, decorative borders, custom cursors, and grain overlays. + +Avoid generic AI-generated aesthetics: overused font families (Inter, Roboto, Arial, system fonts), cliched color schemes (particularly purple gradients on white backgrounds), predictable layouts and component patterns, and cookie-cutter design that lacks context-specific character. + +Interpret creatively and make unexpected choices that feel genuinely designed for the context. No design should be the same. Vary between light and dark themes, different fonts, different aesthetics. Avoid converging on common choices (Space Grotesk, for example) across generations. + +Match implementation complexity to the aesthetic vision. Maximalist designs need elaborate code with extensive animations and effects. Minimalist or refined designs need restraint, precision, and careful attention to spacing, typography, and subtle details. Elegance comes from executing the vision well. + +Remember: Claude is capable of extraordinary creative work. Don't hold back, show what can truly be created when thinking outside the box and committing fully to a distinctive vision. diff --git a/.claude/skills/managing-bibliography/SKILL.md b/.claude/skills/managing-bibliography/SKILL.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..06afead --- /dev/null +++ b/.claude/skills/managing-bibliography/SKILL.md @@ -0,0 +1,106 @@ +--- +name: managing-bibliography +description: Add BibTeX entries from arXiv papers using ADS API for scientific paper citations +model: claude-haiku-4-5 +--- + +Add BibTeX entries to your bibliography by searching for papers and fetching citations from NASA ADS (Astrophysics Data System). + +**Activation**: Use this skill when you need to add a new paper to your bibliography, or when asked to manage citations. + +**Usage pattern**: +- "Add [paper description] to the bibliography" +- "Find and cite [author name] [year] [topic]" +- "Add a BibTeX entry for [paper details]" + +## ADS API Setup + +The ADS API requires an API token.

Now customize the CSS variables (especially colors) for your presentation theme. + +**Using Google Fonts:** Add an `@import` at the top of your CSS file: +```css +@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Playfair+Display:wght@400;600;700&family=Lato:wght@300;400;600&display=swap'); + +:root { + --heading-font: "Playfair Display", Georgia, serif; + --body-font: "Lato", Helvetica, sans-serif; + /* ... */ +} +``` + +The base file includes: + +1. **CSS Variables** for easy customization: +```css +:root { + /* =========================================== + BACKGROUND COLOR - Set this first! + =========================================== */ + --background-color: #ffffff; /* Change for dark themes (e.g., #1a1a2e) */ + + /* Typography - ALWAYS use pt for font sizes */ + --heading-font: "Source Sans Pro", Helvetica, sans-serif; + --body-font: "Source Sans Pro", Helvetica, sans-serif; + --base-font-size: 32px; /* Only px value - sets reveal.js base */ + --text-size: 16pt; /* Base body text - intentionally small */ + --h1-size: 48pt; + --h2-size: 36pt; + --h3-size: 24pt; + + /* Colors - customize these for each presentation */ + --primary-color: #2196F3; + --secondary-color: #ff9800; + --text-color: #222; /* Use light color (e.g., #FAF7F2) for dark backgrounds */ + --muted-color: #666; /* Adjust for dark backgrounds too */ + --box-bg: #f5f5f5; + --box-border: #ddd; +} +``` + +2. **Override reveal.js styles** using `.reveal` prefix: +```css +.reveal { + font-family: var(--body-font); +} + +.reveal h1, .reveal h2, .reveal h3 { + font-family: var(--heading-font); + text-transform: none; + color: var(--text-color); +} + +.reveal p, .reveal li { + font-size: var(--text-size); + color: var(--text-color); +} +``` + +3. **Slide layout styles** - control padding and positioning: +```css +.reveal .slides section { + padding: 40px 60px; + text-align: left; +} +``` + +4. **Component classes** - boxes, callouts, etc. (see [CSS Components Reference](#css-components-reference)) + +5. **Text size utilities** (use these to scale up text when slides have less content): +```css +/* Base text is 16pt - use these classes to increase size when needed */ +.text-lg { font-size: 18pt; } /* Slightly larger */ +.text-xl { font-size: 20pt; } /* Medium emphasis */ +.text-2xl { font-size: 24pt; } /* Strong emphasis */ +.text-3xl { font-size: 28pt; } /* Very large */ +.text-4xl { font-size: 32pt; } /* Maximum body text */ +.text-muted { color: var(--muted-color); } +.text-center { text-align: center; } +``` + +**Typography guidance:** +- Base text (`--text-size: 16pt`) is intentionally small to fit more content +- When a slide has less content, use `.text-lg`, `.text-xl`, etc. to fill space appropriately +- This approach prevents overflow on content-heavy slides while allowing flexibility on lighter slides + +### Step 4: Fill in the HTML Content + +Edit the generated HTML file to add content to each slide. Follow these patterns: + +**Standard slide structure:** +```html +
+

Slide Title

+
+ +
+
+``` + +**Multi-column layouts** - always use inline CSS grid (do NOT create utility classes like `.grid-2`): +```html + +
+
Column 1
+
Column 2
+
+ + +
+
Column 1
+
Column 2
+
Column 3
+
+ + +
+
Narrow sidebar
+
Wide main content
+
+``` + +Why inline styles for grids? Each slide's layout needs vary - column ratios, gaps, etc. Inline styles give you full control per-slide without creating dozens of utility classes. + +**Important HTML patterns:** +- Every `
` should have a unique `id` attribute for stable identification +- Use `class="section-divider"` for centered section title slides +- Wrap main content in `
` for consistent spacing. This is a flexbox container that fills the remaining vertical space below the title, ensuring content flows properly. +- Use `
` for attribution or source text at bottom + +### Step 5: Check for Content Overflow + +Run the overflow checker to ensure no slides have content that extends beyond boundaries: + +```bash +node scripts/check-overflow.js presentation.html +``` + +The script checks each slide for: +- **Vertical overflow**: Content taller than slide height +- **Horizontal overflow**: Content wider than slide width + +If overflow is detected, reduce content or adjust font sizes on affected slides. + +### Step 6: Visual Review with Screenshots + +**CRITICAL: You MUST review screenshots of EVERY SINGLE SLIDE.** Do not skip slides or review only a sample. Visual issues are common and can only be caught by examining each slide individually. + +Capture screenshots of all slides: + +```bash +cd +npx decktape reveal "presentation.html?export" output.pdf \ + --screenshots \ + --screenshots-directory "screenshots/$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)" +``` + +**Note:** The `?export` query parameter disables chart animations for cleaner PDF rendering. Charts will still animate when viewing the HTML directly in a browser. + +This creates a timestamped folder (e.g., `screenshots/20241210_143052/`) so you can track versions and compare before/after fixes. + +Then use the Read tool to examine each screenshot image file. + +#### What to Look For + +The overflow script catches most layout issues, but these problems require visual inspection: + +1. **Color inheritance in containers**: Text inside boxes or callouts may inherit the wrong color from parent elements. If you have light text on a dark page background, text inside a light-colored `.box` or `.callout` will be unreadable unless you explicitly set dark text color for that container. + + **Fix pattern** - explicitly set text and bullet colors for light containers: + ```css + .box-light p, + .box-light li { + color: var(--text-dark); + } + + .box-light ul li::before { + background: var(--primary-color); /* bullet color */ + } + ``` + +2. **Custom bullet/list styling**: If you override default list styles, bullets may not contrast well on all container backgrounds. + +3. **Icons not rendering**: If Font Awesome fails to load, you'll see empty squares or nothing where icons should be. + +4. **Overflow edge cases**: The script catches most overflow, but complex nested layouts occasionally slip through. + +5. **Unexpected text wrap**: Text that you expected to fit on one line actually overflows to two lines. This is especially common in column layouts, where the header of one column may wrap while the rest don't, making things uneven. + +**Re-capture specific slides after fixes:** +```bash +npx decktape reveal "presentation.html?export" output.pdf \ + --screenshots \ + --screenshots-directory "screenshots/$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)" \ + --slides 2,5,7-9 +``` + +Then re-examine the updated screenshots to verify fixes. The new timestamped folder makes it easy to compare with the previous version. + +## CSS Components Reference + +### Boxes +```css +.box { + background: var(--box-bg); + border: 1px solid var(--box-border); + border-radius: 8px; + padding: 20px; +} + +.box-outlined { + border: 1px solid var(--box-border); + border-radius: 8px; + padding: 20px; + background: transparent; +} +``` + +### Callouts +```css +.callout { + border-left: 6px solid var(--primary-color); + padding: 15px 20px; + margin: 15px 0; + background: #f9f9f9; + border-radius: 8px; +} + +/* Color variants */ +.callout-blue { border-left-color: #2196F3; background: #e3f2fd; } +.callout-orange { border-left-color: #ff9800; background: #fff3e0; } +.callout-green { border-left-color: #4caf50; background: #e8f5e9; } +.callout-gray { border-left-color: #666; background: #f5f5f5; } +``` + +### Blockquotes +```css +.reveal blockquote { + border-left: 4px solid var(--primary-color); + padding-left: 20px; + margin: 20px 0; + font-style: italic; + background: none; + box-shadow: none; + width: 100%; +} + +.reveal blockquote cite { + display: block; + margin-top: 10px; + font-style: normal; + color: var(--muted-color); +} +``` + +### Icons (Font Awesome) + +Font Awesome is included in the scaffold.

This feature doesn't exist yet. + +**Physics context:** Gravitational lensing shear traces mass along the line of sight — light bends around structure. Transverse velocities flow toward overdense regions as matter falls into potential wells. The cross-correlation probes structure growth differently than either field alone. + +![](data/gv_mock_fields.png) + +Transverse velocity is usually not an observable in cosmological contexts, which is why this correlation function isn't in TreeCorr (Mike Jarvis: "I didn't bother implementing VG correlations (spin-1 with spin-2), since that seems not likely to be useful"). + +However Calum has a nice observable that was the inspiration for this example: **apparent** proper motion of quasars driven by LSS evolution, which imparts a time-varying lensing deflection angle $\alpha$. With $\mu$as resolution (futuristic but feasible), one could measure quasar proper motions and correlate this field with cosmic shear. + +### Initialize Project Context + +First, let the agent learn about the codebase.

It may make mistakes and backtrack. This is normal — the key is that it handles the feedback loop ~autonomously. + +Your role is now to cultivate the right context (CLAUDE.md, prompt, etc.), steer, and crucially, **verify/validate at higher levels of abstraction.** You may notice that in the above table, two of the most common verification techniques (reading code, writing tests) are now being handled by the agent... + +## Context Management +Duration: 0:10:00 + +![Reddit user Arcanh's Commodore 64](img/commodore_64.jpeg) + +Understanding context is essential for effective agent use. In some ways, we're back to the old days of Commodore 64s (the best-selling desktop computer of all time) with 64 KB of RAM. Opus' context window is 200K tokens, so actually many times bigger than a Commodore 64's, but you get the point: memory allocation and freeing is important again. + +Polluting context with irrelevant content is harmful. Try not to let things run to the end of the context window; the model gets dumb. The game is keeping context focused on what matters for the current task. + +### Two Types of Context + +**In-session context** is what the model sees right now: +- System prompt + Claude.md +- Your conversation +- Files it has read +- Tool outputs and errors + +As in-session context it fills up, performance tends to go down (some call this the "dumb zone"). This is somewhat to analagous to how human performance goes down towards the end of a long work day. + +- **Compaction**: Most harnesses have a `/compact` command which performs a lossy compression of the context window; this is often done automatically when the context window fills up. The compression may not keep the right context, and some think it's much better to `/clear` and rebuild context from "disk" so to speak. + +**Persistent context (CLAUDE.md)** survives across sessions: + +``` +~/.claude/ +└── CLAUDE.md # User-level: your preferences everywhere + +TreeCorr/ +└── CLAUDE.md # Project-level: instructions for this codebase +``` + +Both load automatically at session start. + +### Exercise: Inspect the Context + +Look at the `CLAUDE.md` the agent created during `/init`: + +```bash +cat CLAUDE.md +``` + +What conventions did the agent notice?

These were all the rage in early 2025, but have lost some momentum because they can be insecure and are context gluttons. Claude Code has started lazily loading MCP functions so the context is less of an issue, but MCPs are still disfavored at the moment. + +**Plugins** allow you to share and install skills, MCPs, etc. kind of like VS Code Extensions.

What You'll Learn

+
    +
  • How AI coding agents work, what a model harness is, and why agents are different from chatbots
    • +
  • Managing context: in-session vs. persistent memory
    • +
  • Extending agents with skills and plugins
    • +
  • Verifying AI-generated scientific code
    • +
  • Engineering feedback loops to reduce manual intervention
    • +
+

What You'll Do

+

You'll use an AI agent to implement a real feature in a cosmology library, then verify the results by building an independent, scientifically motivated check.

+

Claude Code in action

+

Prerequisites

+
    +
  • Python 3.9+ with pip
    • +
  • Basic familiarity with the command line
    • +
  • A working Claude Code installation (curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash)
    • +
  • Helpful: familiarity with cosmology concepts (lensing, correlation functions)
    • +
+ + + + + +

LLM vs. Agent

+

A large language model (LLM) takes text in and produces text out. Claude, GPT-4, Gemini — at their core, they're sophisticated simulators of text.

+

An agent is an LLM wrapped (trapped?) in a loop with access to tools (Read, Write, Bash):

+
context = startup_context + user_prompt
+while True:
+    response = llm(context)
+    if response.has_tool_calls:
+        context += execute(response.tool_calls)
+    else:
+        break # pass turn back to user
+
+ + + + + + +

Chatbot

+

Agent

+

Single turn: prompt → response

+

Multi-turn: prompt → action → observation → action → ...

+

You execute the suggestions

+

Agent executes its own suggestions

+

No memory of execution results

+

Sees results, adapts, retries

+

You are the feedback loop

+

Agent is the feedback loop

+
+

Chatbot vs Agent: One-shot vs Action Loop

+

Every AI coding tool you've heard of — Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI — is built on this same pattern. The model is the engine and does almost all the work. The loop + tools is what makes it an agent.

+

What is a Model Harness?

+

The harness is everything except the model itself. Think of the model as an engine; the harness is the car — steering, brakes, dashboard, fuel system.

+

Model harness as car analogy

+

Note: The model is increasingly commodity — Claude Opus 4.5, ChatGPT 5, Gemini 3 perform similarly on benchmarks. The harness determines whether agents succeed or fail. This is why Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI are all investing heavily in harness engineering, not just model training.

+

A caveat: this is only true because frontier models are roughly equivalent. When there are big jumps in capability, SOTA model beats best harness. But with Opus 4.5, we may be at the point where raw intelligence isn't the limiting factor — harnessing is.

+

The Agent Landscape in 2026

+

By the end of 2025, roughly 85% of developers regularly used AI tools for coding. Andrej Karpathy on the shift:

+
Given the latest lift in LLM coding capability, like many others I rapidly
+went from about 80% manual+autocomplete coding and 20% agents in November
+to 80% agent coding and 20% edits+touchups in December.
+
+

This isn't just for code: mathematicians like Terence Tao use agentic harnesses for mathematics.

+

All major AI labs now ship agent harnesses for coding:

+ + + + + +

Tool

+

Interface

+

Approach

+

Claude Code / Codex

+

Terminal-first CLI

+

Autonomous multi-file operations, background agents, context compaction. Codex is open source, longer-running, harder to steer. Claude Code is more interactive, easier to steer, better at communicating what it's doing.

+

Cursor

+

AI-native IDE

+

Real-time code completion, inline chat, repository-wide edits

+

Gemini CLI

+

Terminal CLI

+

Google Search grounding, 1M token context, MCP extensibility, unlimited image generation

+
+

These tools are converging. Cursor's agent mode looks like Claude Code's agents. Codex adopted similar patterns.

+

Claude Code: A Closer Look

+

Since we'll use Claude Code in this tutorial, here's what it does under the hood:

+

Core capabilities:

+
    +
  • File operations: Read, write, edit files in your codebase
    • +
  • Shell execution: Run tests, build commands, git operations
    • +
  • Web search: Look up documentation, APIs, error messages
    • +
  • Sub-agents: Spawn background workers for parallel tasks
    • +
+

The workflow:

+

Agent workflow: prompt → read → retry loop → verify

+

Implementation — turning a specification into code — is increasingly handled by agents. What remains is shaping what to build, noticing when it's wrong, and deciding what to try next.

+ + + + + +

Install Claude Code

+

Prerequisites: A Claude subscription (Pro, Max, Teams, or Enterprise) or a Claude Console account with API access.

+

macOS / Linux / WSL (recommended):

+
curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash
+
+

First Run & Authentication

+

Navigate to any project and start Claude Code:

+
git clone --branch tutorial/agent-loops https://github.com/CosmoStat/Tutorials.git
+cd Tutorials
+claude
+
+

On first run, you'll be prompted to authenticate:

+
    +
  1. A browser window opens to claude.ai
    2. +
  2. Log in with your Anthropic account
    3. +
  3. Authorize Claude Code
    4. +
  4. Return to your terminal — you're ready to go
    5. +
+

A note on models: Claude offers three flavors of model, in increasing levels of intelligence~cost: Haiku, Sonnet, & Opus. Claude may default to Sonnet, but we highly recommend using Opus 4.5. Despite the fact that it is more expensive per "token" (LLM currency), it makes much fewer mistakes than Sonnet and thus has a similar cost / task since it is more likely to "one-shot" a task. You can set this in Claude Code with /model.

+

Install TreeCorr (for this tutorial)

+

We'll add a feature to TreeCorr, a library for computing correlation functions in cosmology.

+
git clone https://github.com/rmjarvis/TreeCorr.git # can do this inside Tutorials/
+cd TreeCorr
+pip install -e .
+
+

Project Structure

+

After setup, your workspace should look like:

+

How to verify TreeCorr: Run python -c "import treecorr; print(treecorr.__version__)" — you should see a version number.

+ + + + + +

The Task

+

We'll ask the agent to add shear-velocity correlations (spin-2 × spin-1) to TreeCorr. This feature doesn't exist yet.

+

Physics context: Gravitational lensing shear traces mass along the line of sight — light bends around structure. Transverse velocities flow toward overdense regions as matter falls into potential wells. The cross-correlation probes structure growth differently than either field alone.

+

+

Transverse velocity is usually not an observable in cosmological contexts, which is why this correlation function isn't in TreeCorr (Mike Jarvis: "I didn't bother implementing VG correlations (spin-1 with spin-2), since that seems not likely to be useful").

+

However Calum has a nice observable that was the inspiration for this example: apparent proper motion of quasars driven by LSS evolution, which imparts a time-varying lensing deflection angle $\alpha$. With $\mu$as resolution (futuristic but feasible), one could measure quasar proper motions and correlate this field with cosmic shear.

+

Initialize Project Context

+

First, let the agent learn about the codebase. In the TreeCorr directory, start claude and run:

+
/init
+
+

This creates a CLAUDE.md file — the agent reads the codebase and writes itself notes on how to work here.

+

Run the Implementation

+

Now enter this prompt; it's good to use plan mode for complex tasks, which can be done by pressing Shift+Tab or by adding something like "let's make a plan first" to your prompt.

+
please implement shear-velocity correlation functions in TreeCorr.
+
+

Then watch.

+

What to Observe

+

As the agent works, notice:

+
    +
  1. File exploration — it reads existing correlation classes to understand patterns
    2. +
  2. Test discovery — it finds how other correlations are tested
    3. +
  3. Iterative fixing — when tests fail, it reads the error and adjusts
    4. +
  4. Context compaction — if context fills up, older content gets summarized
    5. +
+

Before vs. After

~1-2 days for a researcher

+

~15-20 minutes

+
+

The agent may run out of context and need compaction. It may make mistakes and backtrack. This is normal — the key is that it handles the feedback loop ~autonomously.

+

Your role is now to cultivate the right context (CLAUDE.md, prompt, etc.), steer, and crucially, verify/validate at higher levels of abstraction. You may notice that in the above table, two of the most common verification techniques (reading code, writing tests) are now being handled by the agent...

+ + + + + +

Reddit user Arcanh&rsquo;s Commodore 64

+

Understanding context is essential for effective agent use. In some ways, we're back to the old days of Commodore 64s (the best-selling desktop computer of all time) with 64 KB of RAM. Opus' context window is 200K tokens, so actually many times bigger than a Commodore 64's, but you get the point: memory allocation and freeing is important again.

+

Polluting context with irrelevant content is harmful. Try not to let things run to the end of the context window; the model gets dumb. The game is keeping context focused on what matters for the current task.

+

Two Types of Context

+

In-session context is what the model sees right now:

+
    +
  • System prompt + Claude.md
    • +
  • Your conversation
    • +
  • Files it has read
    • +
  • Tool outputs and errors
    • +
+

As in-session context it fills up, performance tends to go down (some call this the "dumb zone"). This is somewhat to analagous to how human performance goes down towards the end of a long work day.

+
    +
  • Compaction: Most harnesses have a /compact command which performs a lossy compression of the context window; this is often done automatically when the context window fills up. The compression may not keep the right context, and some think it's much better to /clear and rebuild context from "disk" so to speak.
    • +
+

Persistent context (CLAUDE.md) survives across sessions:

+
~/.claude/
+└── CLAUDE.md              # User-level: your preferences everywhere
+
+TreeCorr/
+└── CLAUDE.md              # Project-level: instructions for this codebase
+
+

Both load automatically at session start.

+

Exercise: Inspect the Context

+

Look at the CLAUDE.md the agent created during /init:

+
cat CLAUDE.md
+
+

What conventions did the agent notice? What build commands did it record?

+

Ask yourself:

+
    +
  • What did it notice about the codebase structure?
    • +
  • What testing patterns did it identify?
    • +
  • What would you add or correct?
    • +
+

Extending Capabilities

+

Skills are reusable instruction bundles, or lazily-loaded context.

+

MCPs connect to external or local services (databases, APIs, issue trackers), and expose a set of new functions that the agent can call like any other tool. These were all the rage in early 2025, but have lost some momentum because they can be insecure and are context gluttons. Claude Code has started lazily loading MCP functions so the context is less of an issue, but MCPs are still disfavored at the moment.

+

Plugins allow you to share and install skills, MCPs, etc. kind of like VS Code Extensions. Anyone can create a plugin; Anthropic maintains a couple high-quality marketplaces for skills specifically and plugins generally (unclear to me if the latter is ..). You can install like

+
/plugin marketplace add anthropics/skills
+/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-official
+# then run /plugin to explore interactively
+
+ + + + + +

Clear your context and start fresh:

+
/clear
+
+

This simulates a new session — no memory of the implementation, just the codebase as it now exists.

+

The Toy Model

+

We'll test the GV correlation with a simple simulation: halos with Gaussian velocity and shear profiles.

+ + + + +

Field

+

Spin

+

Profile

+

v (velocity)

+

1

+

v = -v₀ exp(-r²/2r₀²) (x+iy)/r₀

+

γ (shear)

+

2

+

γ = -γ₀ exp(-r²/2r₀²) (x+iy)²/r₀²

+
+

These are not physically realistic — they're adapted from TreeCorr's test suite because the correlation functions have closed-form analytic solutions. The negative sign on velocity gives infall toward halo centers; shear is tangential. Both fields trace the same halo positions, so they're correlated by construction.

+
    +
  • Small scales (r < r₀): strong correlations from individual halos
    • +
  • Large scales (r » r₀): correlations drop to zero
    • +
+

Multi-halo fields building up as lenses are added

+

Spin-1 and spin-2 correlation functions have two components, ξ₊ and ξ₋. For the above profiles, the analytic expressions are:

+ + + + +

Correlation

+

ξ₊(r)

+

ξ₋(r)

+

GG (spin-2)

+

∝ exp(-r²/4r₀²) (r⁴ - 16r²r₀² + 32r₀⁴)/r₀⁴

+

∝ exp(-r²/4r₀²) r⁴/r₀⁴

+

VV (spin-1)

+

∝ exp(-r²/4r₀²) (4r₀² - r²)/r₀²

+

∝ -exp(-r²/4r₀²) r²/r₀²

+
+

Full expressions with prefactors (γ₀, v₀, r₀, L, N) are in data/generate_gv_halos.py.

+

Pre-generated simulation data is in

+

data/gv_mock_catalog.fits

+

— 1000 halos, 50,000 sources.

+

Measure with TreeCorr

+

Ask Claude to:

+
please inspect data/gv_mock_catalog.fits, which is a catalog containing both shear and velocity; 
+use TreeCorr to measure and plot both components of the shear-shear, velocity-velocity, and shear-velocity correlation functions; 
+the plot should contain 6 subplots in a 2x3 layout.
+
+

Here's what I got, with the analytic expressions overplotted for shear-shear and velocity-velocity.

+

Correlation functions: GG, VV, GV with theory

+

Take-home Exercise 1: Overplot the analytic expressions for GG and VV, getting the exact forms from data/generate_gv_halos.py. Or, ask Claude to use emcee to fit for A_g, A_v, r_0 :)

+

+

Verify the Results

+

Now the critical question: does the measurement make physical sense?

+

What to check:

+
    +
  1. GG and VV have analytic predictions (black dashed lines) — the measurement should match theory within error bars
    2. +
  2. GV should show signal at small scales — this is the correlated infall + shear signal
    3. +
  3. All correlations should drop to zero at large scales — halos are uncorrelated with each other
    4. +
+

Take-home exercise 2: The actual verification step would be to derive the analytic expression for the shear-velocity case.

+

Limits of Automation

+

Ask the agent to assess the results:

+
Look at data/gv_halo_correlation.png. Do the measurements match the
+theory predictions? Is the GV signal physically reasonable?
+
+

The agent is multimodal — it can see and reason about the plot. But it is often naive and over-optimistic (the training process biases towards sucess).

+ + + + + +

Backpressure is when work piles up waiting for a bottleneck. In agent workflows, that bottleneck is usually you — every manual check, every "looks good," every error you have to interpret.

+

Steering helps: when you see an agent going down a wrong path or repeating mistakes, tweak its context (ideally persistently, in CLAUDE.md or a skill).

+

When to Intervene

+ + + + + + +

Situation

+

Action

+

Going in circles on the same error

+

Provide a hint or different approach

+

Fundamental misunderstanding

+

Clarify the requirements

+

You have domain knowledge it lacks

+

Share the relevant context

+

Inefficient approach

+

Suggest a better path

+
+

Think of yourself as a senior engineer reviewing a junior's work in real-time. Guide when needed, but don't micromanage.

+

Reducing Backpressure

+

Level 1: Manual loop

+
You paste code → run it → paste error → repeat
+
+

All backpressure on you.

+

Level 2: Agent runs code

+
Agent writes → runs → sees error → fixes → repeats
+You intervene only when judgment is needed
+
+

Backpressure shifts to judgment calls.

+

Level 3: Higher-level verification

+
Agent builds webpage → views it → adjusts layout
+Proof assistant checks the math
+Numerical benchmarks grade the output
+
+

Backpressure shifts to designing the verification. The million (billion? trillion?) dollar question is how to do this in a robus way for science.

+ + + + + +

What You Learned

+
    +
  • Agents are while loops with tool access — they handle the feedback loop so you don't have to
    • +
  • Context has two layers: in-session (ephemeral) and CLAUDE.md (persistent)
    • +
  • Skills and plugins extend what agents can do
    • +
  • Verification is your job — especially for scientific claims
    • +
  • Engineer away backpressure where possible, but keep humans in the loop for judgment
    • +
+

The Key Insight

+

The code writes itself. What doesn't write itself:

+
    +
  • Knowing what to build
    • +
  • Noticing when something's wrong
    • +
  • Deciding what to try next
    • +
+

You are the steering mechanism. The agent handles implementation; you handle judgment.

+

And a perhaps sobering note. Sonnet costs ~$10 / hour (half of a McDonald's employee's hourly wage in California) via the API. If you extrapolate this to the subscription plans (very back of the envelope):
