Uses
My daily setup on Ubuntu. All of it installs with one Claude Code skill, ai-workbench. The tools need no sudo; the host settings hand me the few root commands to run.
- Editor
- VS Code, portable install, with Claude Code in the terminal next to it
- Prompt
- Starship, two lines: directory, git status, runtimes, command duration
- Terminal
- Ptyxis with a 16-colour matrix-green and cyber-purple palette, plus a Nerd Font
- Multiplexer
- zellij, same palette
- CLI
- eza, bat, fzf, zoxide, and git delta for side-by-side diffs
- Monitor
- btop, themed
- Claude Code
- A custom status line with context usage and rate-limit bars, plus the mattpocock-skills, ponytail, caveman and humanizer plugins
- Machines
- Two HP EliteBooks that never sleep: an i7 with 30 GB as the main box, lid shut next to a monitor, and an i5 with 14 GB that I carry
- Agents
- T3 Code on both laptops, reached from my iPhone over Tailscale, with two Claude Pro accounts as separate providers
- Voice
- Handy with NVIDIA Parakeet, offline, one shortcut to dictate into any app
- Remote
- GNOME remote desktop between the two laptops, one click from Remmina
