What I do when nobody asked me to: music first, then an inventory of small projects.
At university I joined the traditional music club and learned the yangqin, a Chinese hammered dulcimer.
I started later than most players, so I made up for it with steady practice. Beyond playing, I made the club's videos, wrote out scores, and planned and promoted its events.
I write music as code in Strudel, a browser live-coding language, working with Claude through a skill I put together.
Each track is a single JavaScript file you paste into strudel.cc and run, from a pentatonic ballad to a 5-minute symphonic suite. The skill bundles reference notes, pattern templates and a dependency-free MIDI-to-Strudel converter in Python.
Fish sprites are AI-generated, then Python scripts cut them out and turn them into three.js meshes. On top of that I built a single-player big-fish-eats-small-fish mode and a local multiplayer arena in the style of diep.io, with bot fish that follow the same rules as human players.
Characters, storylines, world rules and planted foreshadowing each live in their own linked file, and every chapter gets a structured summary to keep a long story consistent. My design notes argue why plain linked Markdown beats a vector database at this scale, and leave room to add retrieval later if it is ever needed.
The whole course lives in one manifest file. A script generates the instructor handbook skeleton from it, and the chapter videos are HyperFrames animations built from the same content, so there is a single source. I kept the videos text-only with Traditional Chinese subtitles and checked colour contrast against WCAG AA.
It holds a template in the Tzu Chi Foundation's visual identity, a scene grammar, a ready-made prompt, and notes on rendering and splicing in real screen recordings. It is built on HyperFrames, an open-source HTML-to-video framework that I did not write.
The idea is Karpathy's: instead of retrieving from raw documents, let the model compile them into a persistent, linked wiki you read in Obsidian. I wrote the plugin around it: a skill, a session-start hook and a bootstrap script.
I wrote it up after real modding and debugging sessions, so the skills record fixes that actually worked, such as plugins whose update loop never fires. It covers both Unity build types and extracting or translating game text, including Simplified to Traditional Chinese.
