Colophon update: I added automated documentation for all 78 of my tools, written by piping the HTML through Claude 3.7 Sonnet

I was hesitant to do this at first but the utility of the resulting explanations convinced me it was worthwhile

I decided the descriptions it wrote were too long, so I added "Keep it to 2-3 sentences" to the prompt and rebuilt them all to be more concise: https://github.com/simonw/tools/commit/b9eadb0255e269d865ec1ba3c385760cac7b15b7

> It cost about $1.08 in Claude credits to document all 78 tools

Does this imply you used Claude Code? Or your llm CLI

I used my CLI tool, here's my script: https://github.com/simonw/tools/blob/5322f55a2e7006541e80a5ffe13aeb89c74c6cef/write_docs.py#L45-L51

I’ve been following your stuff for a while now and your articles continue to be the most measured and grounded-in-real-world-experience takes when it comes to practical LLM applications. No hype, no doom, no dismissal. Thanks for being a standard bearer here.

Thanks!! Really appreciate you taking the time to write this.

I use LLMs largely for coding these days. I’m an amateur at best and they really enhance what I am able to put together.
