Practical guides
Let the Agent Write SQL, Not Python: Rebuilding dtool's Core on VicroCode
A debrief on dtool's one durable idea — schema-ize tables once, make the agent emit SQL, run it server-side — and how to rebuild that split with VicroCode's Python, SQLite, and hosted endpoints.
The Spec Is the Asset: Rebuilding an Editorial-Diagram Skill So Figures Render the Same Way Twice
A prose-to-diagram Agent Skill mimics a house style, but the model re-improvises every run. Version the spec instead, and let a Python endpoint render it deterministically.
Rebuilding the durable half of a who-is-spy agent game on VicroCode
A debrief on stripping a LangGraph social-deduction game down to its reusable core: isolated agent memory, server-side vote adjudication, and a replayable SQLite ledger.
The Reusable Half of an Unraid Desktop Assistant Is a Hosted Proxy, Not the Binary
A V2EX dev shipped a native Unraid control app. The part worth copying is the server-side proxy, SQLite ledger, and one HTML board you open anywhere.
The aim trainer's real asset isn't the aiming — it's the sensitivity math
A browser aim trainer's gameplay canvas is the throwaway part. The durable core is deterministic sensitivity conversion over an editable formula table. Here's how to rebuild that on VicroCode.
Stop Shopping for a Scraped Question Bank — Build an Item Store You Actually Own
A builder wanted to buy a scraped quiz database. The better asset is a curated SQLite item store, a Python importer that dedups whatever you feed it, and a hosted HTML quiz.
The personal AI persona that answers from your notes, not from a retrain
After Second Me stalled, the wish is a persona built from your own text that won't fabricate and won't need retraining. Here's the durable half, rebuilt on VicroCode.
Rebuilding rtk's one durable trick: a hosted filter that squeezes command output before it floods the agent
The rtk plugin's real idea isn't the executable, it's cutting noisy ls/git/build output before it hits the context. Here's how to rebuild it as a hosted Python tool with a recovery ledger.
