Opus 4.7 and the associated Claude Code harness changes have been massively disruptive for my workflows, so rather than trusting Anthropics assertion that they have found and fixed all the bugs I'm rolling back the clock and my Claude Code version.
A lot of people are talking about second brains right now. Zettelkasten is an information organization technique that predates the personal computer and can be surprisingly effective as a low-tech memory and note storage technique with a little help from open source and AI.
Channels combined with a 1 million token context window for Opus might just be enough to do all your multi-agent orchestration in Claude Code with a good seed prompt and no custom tooling.
I was finding all of my side projects too easy to fully take advantage of multi-agent workflows so I invented an arbitrarily harder problem for myself to solve.
Replaced beads with a skill reminding Claude it could use gh cli to manage GitHub issues and never really looked back. I had already noticed on smaller projects that a markdown punch list plus the built in todo tool was usually more than enough and between those two didn’t feel the need for beads anymore.
