Hello ~~ I am the author of termonmac. https://termonmac.com/ It can let you vibe programming outside(not at home). But you need to have a Mac PC and a iPhone/iPad first.

I am not the author. But I think the idea is cool. I use this ruflo to handle it completely to avoid interrupt by AI when vibe coding.(not permission issue, I always use claude --dangerously-skip-permissions)

Is there anybody using it ?

I'm a software engineer building an app as a side project. I quickly realized AI bullshits a lot.

But you know, engineers bullshit each other all the time too. The difference is we have a way to verify it - logical chains. You have to build an argument that holds up before anayone buys in it.

So I though, can I make AI build its own logical chain ? Let it pass its own logic check before telling me the result.

That's how I created my own "think" skill. It's based on Meta's CoT paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2501.04682

It roughly works like this: 1. FRAME - Challenge the question itself, hidden assumptions.

2. GROUND - Map what you know, what you need, what's missing.

3. ASSOCIATE - Launch multiple independent agents in parallel to generate hypotheses, avoid anchoring bias.

4. VERIFY - Break each hypothesis into atomic claims, verify each independently

5. CHAIN - Build a logical chain from survivors

6. PROVE and LOOP - Walk backwards from conclusion to premises, seearch for evidence, repair if broken

7. DELIVER - Start with "I was wrong if ...."

It helps me a lot. Whenever I need to check if Claude Opus 4.6 is bullshitting me. I just say "/think verify the above reasoning is correct" or "/think verify the above fix is correct and complete."

With vibe coding you don't really type code anymore. You just tell AI what to do in plain words(voice input helps a lot on phone) and it writes the code for you.

Would that make you reconsider coding remotely from your phone ?

Good point. I agree with that. The key point is that heavy users benefit from this model while light users are basically subsidizing them. But it's a distribution when everyone shifts toward heavy usage, prices inevitably go up. The $17/mo pro price is already set to compete with other providers. Raising it would lose customers. Other tiers are also carefully priced to match competitors. So the only move left is to prevent the whole distribution from drifting toward heavier usage. That's exatly what this ban does.

I thought maybe you can find more if you write a "special" skill for AI to think hardly.

For example, I'v implemented "Towards System 2 Reasoning in LLMs: Learning How to Think With Meta Chain-of-Thought" into a skill and the AI becomes able to "think".

The correct rate becomes higher but the only drawback is consuming token very much.

I'm curious about the true logic behind the claim that tablet use lower grades. What is the underlying logic ?

For my own kid, I do limit screen time just because their eyes are still fragile before age 9, not because the above reason.

I asked an AI about the reasoning and the answer comes down to: kids need real-world interaction to support brain development. But if that's the case, aren't these two seperate issues? Using a tablet doesn't damage your brain ... it's just a low-value activity that fails to build the good skills (like video games?) that other activities do. It is not that screens make you dumber, it is that they crowd out the things that make you smarter.
