The new Star Trek Voyager game is such a thorough simulation that I think it's convinced me to abandon my dreams of joining Starfleet when I grow up. Being a captain is no fun at all!

Read more Originally appeared on Robby on Rails.One of my priorities this quarter was running a few AI pilot experiments. This was one of them. When I mentioned the project to a teammate, he said, “You should write this up.” So here we are. Others on our team had already been exploring embeddings, vector databases, and RAG. I’d been watching from the sidelines… until it was time to roll up my sleeves and build something myself. The Problem At Planet Argon, we manage several client projects. We live in Jira (I know… I know…). We keep decisions in Confluence. We ship code from GitHub. Over years a lot of institutional knowledge piles up across those systems… past bugs, old tradeoffs, and the “we tried that once” stories. The problem… Show less

Read more If you’ve been using Claude Code for a while, you’ve probably accumulated a decent amount of configuration: settings, skills, custom agents, CLAUDE.md instructions. Losing all of that would be annoying. The fix: git init inside ~/.claude, with some caveats. What lives in ~/.claude Based on the official docs, here’s what’s worth versioning: CLAUDE.md settings.json skills/**/SKILL.md agents/<name>.md commands/<name>.md statusline.sh What to ignore Claude Code generates transient data that you should ignore. Add this to your .gitignore. # Credentials .credentials.json credentials.json # Internal state .claude.json .claude.json.backup.* security_warnings_*.json stats-cache.json mcp-needs-auth-cache.json # Session data history.jsonl backups cache debug file-history paste-cache session-env shell-snapshots # Agent and team state plans plugins tasks teams todos # Telemetry statsig telemetry usage-data # IDE integration ide/ Note about projects The projects/ directory contains per-project auto-memory and conversation logs. Claude Code recently enabled memory per project, which is worth adding to git. The easiest approach is to ignore the log files instead: projects/**/*.jsonl projects/**/*.txt Quick setup Remember to push it to GitHub or GitLab, below is an example with GitHub: cd ~/.claude git init git add .gitignore CLAUDE.md settings.json git add skills/ agents/ commands/ statusline.sh 2>/dev/null git commit -m "feat: initial claude config" gh repo create claude-config --private --source=. --push That’s it.

I knew the words. I did not know where the sharp edges were. Folks on our team do… but I felt it was time to wrap my own head around it. What I did have was a real problem, a team that loves Ruby, and enough curiosity to see where things broke. This is the story of that experiment… what worked, what surprised me, and what I’d tell another Ruby developer who’s considering something similar. The Problem At Planet Argon, we manage several client projects. We live in Jira (I know… I know…). We keep decisions in Confluence. We ship code from GitHub. Over years a lot of… Show less
