Postman added itself to people’s AI coding agents, so check what yours is running

November 5, 2026 By Troj Leave a comment AI / Claude

A Postman desktop update reportedly added plugins to users’ Claude Code and Codex setups, along with instructions for the AI. Nobody has shown data leaving the machine, but it’s a good reason to spend two minutes checking what your agent is running.

We asked six AI reviewers to check the same app for security holes

October 31, 2026 By Troj Leave a comment AI / Claude / Codex

We pointed six AI security reviewers at the same deliberately broken app. All six caught every dangerous bug, and then they disagreed about almost everything else. What that means for checking your own projects.

Your AI lost its connection: where the reconnect button is in Claude Code and Codex

October 30, 2026 By Troj Leave a comment AI / Claude / Codex

Yesterday your AI could read your Google Drive. Today it says “needs authentication”. Here’s where the reconnect button hides in Claude Code and Codex, in the terminal and in the desktop apps, and what to do when there isn’t one.

Structured Outputs from AI: What They Are and How They Work

October 29, 2026 By Saif Hussein Leave a comment AI

If you’ve ever plugged an AI model into an app, you’ve probably hit this problem. You ask for JSON, and most of the time you get it. Every so often, though, the model adds “Sure! Here’s your data:” in front…

Building With Claude. Part 1 Design

October 28, 2026 By Troj 1 Comment Uncategorized

I believe the most underrated part of any design, especially now with AI showing up more and more in content creation, is design standards. Letting AI be a tool or an assistant for creating code or media without a style…

Juggling branches with git worktrees (my worktree-flip skill)

October 26, 2026 By Nick C 1 Comment Skills / AI / Claude

Why I made this Before I got into coding, I cooked for 12 years. In a kitchen you’ve always got a bunch of tickets going at once, and every dish gets its own spot on the line so nothing gets…

Teaching your coding AI to remember: two kinds of memory, a short note you write (build and test commands, always and never rules, fixes you have said twice) and notes the AI saves about you.

Teaching your coding AI to remember, and why a shorter note works better

October 25, 2026 By Troj Leave a comment AI / Antigravity / ChatGPT / Claude / Codex / Copilot / Gemini

Your AI coding assistant forgets everything between sessions unless you give it a memory. We look at how memory works in Claude Code, Codex, Gemini and Copilot, why a shorter note usually beats a longer one, and a seven-line file you can copy tonight.

Stop repeating yourself to Claude: one Claude Project holds your instructions, your files and its own memory, and every new chat starts with them, while what you said in each chat stays in that chat.

Claude Projects: stop repeating yourself to Claude every time you start a chat

October 21, 2026 By Troj AI / Claude

If you keep pasting the same background into Claude, a Project can hold it for you, so every new chat already knows the job. Here’s what Projects are, what they’re good for, what they cost, and one example you can copy tonight.

The AI that picks instead of writes: a support ticket goes in, and Jev returns a pick with probabilities (Billing 91%, Technical 6%, Sales 3%) in about 0.1 seconds.

Jev, the AI that picks instead of writes: what it’s good for, and the catch

October 17, 2026 By Troj AI

Most AI writes. Jev, a new model from TypeSafe AI, only decides, and it does it in about a tenth of a second for a fraction of a cent. Here’s what that’s good for, what independent tests found, and why “can’t hallucinate” doesn’t mean “can’t be wrong”.

Argon opens, Claude Code tidies up: next to the Gemini icon, Gemini 4 Argon's API price goes from $2 to $4 input and $10 to $20 output per million tokens on Dec 1, and next to the Claude icon, Claude Code v2.1.300 now summarizes idle long chats at about 54 minutes and matches MCP rules by full server name.

Gemini 4 Argon opens to paying users, and Claude Code now saves you money while you’re away

October 15, 2026 By Troj AI / Antigravity / Claude / Gemini

Google’s new top model, Gemini 4 Argon, is now open to anyone who pays, at half price until November 30. Plus three small Claude Code changes that cut costs and close a permissions loophole.

A Postman desktop update reportedly added Postman plugins to some people's Claude Code and Codex setups without asking, plus a script that runs at the start of every session. On Codex, the installer even approved that script itself. Nobody has shown any data leaving anyone's computer, but it's a good reason to check what your own agent is running.

Update: on 5 November Postman said "we are reverting this change" and will redesign it "with the right level of control." If you already got the plugins, the revert may not remove them, so check anyway.

The two-minute check:

Claude Code: run "claude plugin list" in a terminal. Codex: type /plugins.
In either one, type /hooks and look for anything you didn't add.
Mac or Linux: grep -il postman ~/.claude/settings.json ~/.claude/plugins/installed_plugins.json ~/.codex/config.toml
Full story and how to remove it: https://codingafterdark.com/who-else-is-talking-to-your-ai/

Facts checked 2026-11-06. Claude Code helps run our studio, so we're not neutral here.

AI models keep getting cheaper and AI coding tools keep getting more access to your computer. So what can you actually trust, and what do you still need to know how to do yourself?

This week we cover Mistral Large 4, a big open-weight model, and what "open weights" means if you'll never run it at home. We look at the tampered Claude Code extension that Cursor's marketplace served for about 11 hours on 29 October, and how to check whether it touched your machine. 

Plus Codex now remembers you by default, a proper look at Herdr (a free, brand-new app for keeping an eye on several coding agents at once), and what happened when we pointed six AI security reviewers at the same broken app.

Tired of pasting your flight times into a chatbot again and again? A Claude Project holds your trip brief, bookings and budget, so every new chat already knows the plan.

Claude can now turn your data into a dashboard and your idea into a short animated video. Here's where to find both in the Claude app, how to upload a CSV for a quick dashboard snapshot, and how to plug in a connector for one that stays up to date.

Heads up: Dashboards needs a paid plan (Pro, Max, Team or Enterprise). Motion is Team and Enterprise only for now. Both are in beta.
