I actually quite enjoy the OpenClaw. Although the recent CC crackdown has caused me to try different LLM providers which aren't that reliable but anyways, here are few things I do with it, in all separate groups.

* Telegram Health Group, created an agent to help me track sleep, recommend my supplements based on my location, remind me in the morning and evening to monitor my food. I send it images of what I eat and it keeps track of it. * Telegram Career Group, I randomly ask it to find certain kind of job posts based on my criteria. Not scheduled, only when I like to. * Telegram Coder Group, gave it access to my github account. It pulls, runs tests and merges dependabot PRs in the mornings. Tells me if there are any issues. I also ask it to look into certain bugs and open PRs while I'm on the road. * Telegran News Group, I gave it a list of youtube videos and asked it to send me news every day at 10am similar to the videos.

So far, it's a super easy assistant taking multiple personas. But it's getting a bit painful without CC subscription

Nice. One more benefit of this is when using LLM tools like Claude Code or Codex to do something and run tests on a worktree, this solution would work seamlessly.

I maintain an app that was originally written in 2011 in Rails, and a lot of old code looks very similar to what we have in Rails 2025. It's very easy to dig into existing code. Feels really good.

This will answer your question: https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/52335#issuecomment-22395...

I think there can be some overlap between rake tasks and one-off scripts and opinions may vary. In the related discussion Okura Masafumi mentions that rake tasks are one way but they can be executed multiple times, and I tend to agree, leaving rake tasks for code that is intended to be run multiple times.

So script/ can hold one-off scripts, for example Basecamp uses script/migrate which I am guessing they use for updating data, and we had a similar folder at my previous company.

But script/ is not only for one-off scripts, it can hold more general scripts too, for example rails generate benchmark already generates benchmarks in script/benchmarks, and at my previous company we had script/ops which had a bunch of shell scripts and ruby scripts for various ops-related things.

So really not so clear description. It caters to those who feel like they have a script that doesn't really fit in the Rake file.

Very much. I still heavily use rails generators as the defaults do quite a bit already. Generates nice forms, models, migrations, jobs, scripts, and test files. It doesn't feel much, like it's just generating a bunch of files with basic defaults in the right folder, but when you do that quite a bit overtime, you appreciate how little you have to think about those things.

This is exactly what I was looking for. I love Stripe's UI and I was looking for a library of unified components that I can copy paste with my Rails app. Then I saw shadcn and was disappointed that it was only for React.

I'm mostly a backend developer and TailwindCSS really enabled me to be bold with working with frontend CSS. So far I've been copy pasting examples from Tailwind or Flowbite. But "franken" really looks much closer to what I was looking for, a cleaner opinionated unified interfaces that I can put together, works with Tailwind and can be used with Rails.

Thanks for the work on this.
