/uses

What’s on my desk — and why.

Uses.

Hardware

  • /Mac MacBook Pro M4, 24 GB RAM — portable, quiet, enough headroom for parallel Claude sessions.
  • /Display LG 32'' 4K at the desk.
  • /Audio AirPods Pro 2 for podcasts, Sonos Ace for deep work.
  • /3D Bambu Lab A1 Mini — driven by Claude via bambu-mcp (32 tools).
  • /Energy Huawei PV 10.7 kWp + KEBA wallbox — evcc orchestrated.

Core toolkit

  • /Claude Code Default shell for all development. Fable 5 and Opus 4.8 with 1M context as daily drivers, smaller models for routines.
  • /Next.js + Astro Next for app projects with a database, Astro for content-heavy sites like this one.
  • /Supabase Postgres + Auth + Edge Functions. One project per app.
  • /Vercel Hosting + deploy. fra1 region for German projects.
  • /Markdown wiki Single source of truth for projects, decisions and lessons learned — versioned in git, read and maintained by Claude.

Automation

Claude routines run in the Anthropic cloud instead of local cron jobs — daily reads in the morning and evening, watchlist picks and a weekly housekeeping routine. Remote-first: none of it needs a running Mac.

Primary output channel: Telegram (@scholly_claude_bot) — push to Apple Watch, and I can drive it from chat, wherever I am.

Governance stack

  • /2 reviewers An architecture review before hard-to-reverse plans, a QA review before every push — both with their own memory, so they catch what gets lost while building.
  • /6 rule files Behaviour, token doctrine, model discipline, 17 architecture filters, workflow, customer requirements — instead of 121 scattered rules.
  • /3 acts Plan → build → sign-off per initiative, two customer sign-offs, mandatory review before every push.
  • /Backlog in Markdown One backlog file per project, maintained via git — no separate tool anymore.

MCP servers — 25 active

Supabase, Notion, Vercel, Cloudflare, Better Stack, iCloud Mail, SSV Mail, Apify, Bambu Lab, Playwright, Google Calendar & Gmail. Self-built Python servers live in ~/Cowork/mcp-servers/, external connectors are wired in through Claude’s API tools.
