Intro to GECK

Anyone who subscribes may have noticed that it’s been quite a while since I’ve posted anything. I’ve been deep in discovery mode for quite a while (Also deep in “stay at home dad” mode.

Given that my channel is mostly about AI, I think it’s worth sharing some actual things about how you can use CLI AI agents, Like Claude Code, to create custom tools to make your life easier or even to sell.

The first thing I’m going to introduce is GECK: An obvious reference to Fallout 3, and a tool for both generating macro-prompts to direct AI Agents on projects, As well as as a file convention that exists within a working directory (and repo) that provides Continuous instruction and long-term memory over multi-turn projects.

GECK has been pretty much at the core of everything that I’ve built so far recently. From creating my own LLM CLI Agentic system (Claude Code/clawdbot-like, but specialized for coding) that runs natively on a system, to making video games that are pending release on the Steam store (I only use the AI for the programming, not the art), the GECK tool has saved me a ton of time in working with Claude Code.

Part of sharing this tool is to find feedback, so if there’s anything that you think could be better, please feel free to pull request!
