The Daily Desk

A useful mess, carefully indexed.

A working catalogue of tools, research, and references selected for practical use, not shelf appeal.

The first carefully selected file will appear here.

Catalogue

  1. diagram-design

    github.comrepository

    27 editorial diagram types for Claude Code as a self-contained skill — no Mermaid, no shadows, no build step, just HTML and SVG that looks drawn by a person.

  2. GLM-5.3

    z.aitool

    Z.ai's next model reuses the GLM-5.2 base and puts every gain into post-training — weights held back roughly two weeks this time, after training produced cybersecurity capabilities the team didn't plan for.

  3. Gemini 3.7 Flash

    blog.googletool

    A second Flash release just three weeks after 3.6 — same base model, algorithmic improvements only, and double-digit gains on coding and agent benchmarks.

  4. bb

    getbb.apptool

    An IDE that builds itself — pitched as proof that the editor and the agent building it can be the same evolving codebase.

  5. Continuum

    roland.leth.rotool

    Remembers what you know about the people you manage — a memory layer built for 1:1s and performance context, not general note-taking.

  6. Grok Bot

    x.aitool

    xAI's always-on agent gives each task its own persistent cloud computer and its own logins, and keeps working after you close the laptop. Built under Cursor's "Sand" codename.

  7. Seed 2.1 Turbo

    seed.bytedance.comtool

    ByteDance's low-latency tier of Seed 2.1, on Volcano Engine — pitched as beating Claude Opus 4.6 at up to 80% lower cost for high-frequency agent workloads.

  8. awesome-mcp

    github.comrepository

    A daily-updated, curated list of MCP servers, clients and frameworks — useful precisely because it doesn't go stale like a normal awesome-list.

  9. Kiro Crew

    kiro.devtool

    AWS open-sources an orchestrator that runs a crew of coding agents unattended — persistent memory, approval gates, and a live dashboard for watching them work. Grew out of an internal Amazon tool already used by 39,000+ engineers.

  10. AgentMicro

    agentmicro.cctool

    Live Codex task status in the macOS menu bar — the kind of small utility that only exists once agents run long enough to need a status light.

  11. Qwen3.7 Flash

    help.aliyun.comtool

    Alibaba's cheap, fast vision-language tier of Qwen3.7 — $0.03/M input tokens, a 991K context window, and no accompanying technical report.

  12. Kimi K3

    huggingface.cotool

    Moonshot open-sources a 2.8-trillion-parameter, 1M-context model — billed as the largest open-weight model released so far, with only 104B parameters active per token.

  13. Claude Opus 5

    www.anthropic.comtool

    Anthropic's flagship rolls out across providers — close to Fable 5's frontier intelligence at half the price, and the new state of the art on coding and knowledge-work evals.
