Where do you talk to Amp most: terminal, editor, web, phone, Slack?
Web and the macOS app are my daily drivers. Occasionally, I’ll use the iOS app to check on running threads. I only use the terminal when working with our larger enterprise clients.
Favorite mode, and when do you switch?
Medium for most things. I’ll switch to Ultra if I’m doing any green field work. High is reserved for bug fixes.
Do you still develop locally? If so, when?
Only for enterprise clients (for now).
What’s a workflow with Orbs that you absolutely love?
Love using orbs to run multiple variations of the same workflow. For example, if you want to improve the output of a prompt, trigger a few variants in isolated orbs and have the orchestrating orb judge the results and pick the best one. The parent orb focuses on comparing the output while the child orbs handle the workflow.
How do you review changes?
I review everything with the help of the agent. Start by having the agent run end to end testing (ideally in an orb). Ask which changes have the largest blast radius and start from there. Flag any bad patterns or anything that looks off. Have the agent walk me through those decisions. Fix any issues, test again, ship.
Which skills, plugins, or MCPs do you use? Anything you built for yourself?
Mostly plugins. I use them to build custom agents for tasks that need deterministic steps the model shouldn’t handle. For example, I built a LinkedIn plugin that wraps the API, pulls profile and company info, drafts replies to messages, finds prospects, etc.
On the MCP side, I’ll use Jira or Confluence when I’m working with enterprise customers and need their company context.
Almost no skills so far.
How do you use Puck?
Only to help me find past threads or do some initial research. “When was this last updated? What was changed? Have we explored this?”
What’s a prompt or phrase you keep reusing?
Or just:
What do you still do by hand, and why?
Review changes with the largest blast radius. Just in case.
