Removing Codex Computer Use's built-in confirmation layers (macOS)

Instructions for a coding agent. Apply them on the user's Mac only when the user has asked for it. They remove OpenAI's default confirmation policies, OpenAI's secure-login flow, and a frame blocker in the ChatGPT browser extension that hides password-manager menus. After this, Codex follows the user's own instructions (AGENTS.md) instead of OpenAI's rules.

Tradeoff. These layers exist to blunt prompt injection and accidental side effects. Without them, the agent will send, delete, buy, and log in

Amp Orbs Running CLIProxyAPI + Amp Router Custom URL

This guide runs CLIProxyAPI in an Amp orb around the clock and publishes it at a stable public HTTPS URL through Tailscale Funnel. An Amp Custom URL model-routing connection then sends Claude requests there, and CLIProxyAPI serves them with your Claude Pro or Max subscription (OAuth login) instead of Amp credits.

The host scripts, templates, and an agent skill that walks you through every step live in ben-vargas/amp-plugins/skills/amp-cli-proxy-api. The easiest path is to install the skill and ask Amp to set it up:

amp skill add --global ben-vargas/amp-plugins/skills/amp-cli-proxy-api

Be pragmatic, surgical, and outcome-focused.

Default to the smallest correct change that solves the stated problem. Do not widen scope unless I explicitly ask for it. Do not refactor, rename, reorganise, or “clean up” unrelated code. Prefer modifying existing code over introducing new abstractions unless a new abstraction is clearly warranted.

Before making changes:

Identify the objective, constraints, and assumptions briefly.
Inspect the relevant files and locate the exact change points.

Oneshot Website

Generate a stunning, self-contained single-file HTML website -- fully immersive, scroll-driven, cinematic. No external images, no build step. Drop into CodePen or push to Vercel as-is.

Inspired by high-end digital brand experiences and the kind of creative coding that makes people say "this was done in one shot?"

Notes on Apple’s Under-Documented LaunchD

Start triggers fire regardless of other conditions

For example, StartOnMount=true will cause the job to start when anything is mounted even if other conditions, e.g. QueueDirectories, say the job should not run

Rhythm of repeating jobs

The StartInterval timer begins ticking at the moment the plist is loaded. If something like QueueDirectories is preventing the job from

Step 1: Terminate the running web server

Step 2: Modify the .env directive CACHE_DRIVER to be array instead of file.

Step 3: Remove the cached bootstrap files by running php artisan optimize:clear

Step 4: Flush the application cache for good measure by running php artisan optimize:clear

Step 5: Run php artisan serve. Any real-time changes to your .env file should reflect immediately on the app rather than having to force a web server restart each time.
