I never got into toggling modes 🤷🏻‍♂️ I just want to tell my agent what I want to do. I have spec and plan skills that guide the format I want and I talk to the agent like I would a teammate
we’re thinking of killing plan mode and using the shift+tab hotkey to adjust effort levels I don’t think the models need plan mode anymore, but if you’re a plan mode diehard would love to get your feedback on why

For many projects I still plan so I align the agent on a design. I just don't use a mode for it. Just like I don't revoke my team's write access to GitHub when we're designing

your reminder that you can just tell your agent to run `npm create db` to get a postgres database in about 1 second

The biggest risk in software development today with AI might be asking the agent to change something that contradicts an assumption about your product that lives only in your head and some disposable agent thread

many such cases
I am migrating console.prisma.io to run on Prisma Compute and Prisma Postgres. Some early numbers look very very promising! The benefits of running your app and database next to each other. 💥

After bootstrapping five SaaS startups and working with 100+ companies, @coreyhainesco saw where marketers needed better tools. He turned that experience into Marketing Skills, an open-source AI toolkit with 4.8M installs. Hear his story at Builder’s Day ↓ builders.day/speakers/corey-…

I'm letting fable run unhinged in a VM to evaluate experiments with firecracker. Last night it was working on VM networking in a rust harness that bans unsafe. It wrote C code instead, compiled it to BPF, and copied the bytes into a Rust source file. Absolutely ruthless

The best thing about starting fresh is working with the community to fix things that have annoyed them in the past This new API for defining a type returned by Prisma 8 came from Discord feedback, and makes defining a type from database, including nesting, extremely safe
I’m having a fun time iterating on Prisma 8 with users in the Prisma Discord server. Here’s the new API we created today: github.com/prisma/orm/pull/3… ```ts type UserResponse = Shape<User, { '-': 'passwordHash'; posts: { '+': 'id' | 'title'; comments: {} }; }>; ```

We've been building our own agents to help us operationally and they all run on open weight models, mostly GLM The newest is a code review agent that runs GLM-5.3 Flash. The Prisma team is already favoring it over the one we pay for and the core was built in a couple afternoons

We use @mastra for its excellent primitives and telemetry. It gives us a good foundation, is model agnostic, and improves every week. The skill and docs are great, so we unleash our agents to build agents. Highly recommend

The code review agent starts from a GitHub webhook, grabs some context, clones into a sandbox, generates a git diff, then gives the sandbox to an agent to perform the review. The agent has tools to report feedback and mark files as complete. If it ends the review without all files marked complete, a guard makes it continue. This all happens in a Mastra workflow. A few more things for replying to comments and such, but that's the gist of it
