Chrome Skills turn repeated Gemini in Chrome prompts into reusable browser workflows. This intermediate tutorial shows how to confirm access, save useful prompts, compare selected tabs, build a research verification Skill, and keep the library from becoming clutter. It also explains where the rollout is limited, why selected tabs matter, when a saved prompt is too risky for confidential work, and how to test outputs before trusting them.
Half of Claude Code's 200,000-token context window vanishes before developers type a single message. Now a cottage industry of optimization hacks, paid toolkits, and CLAUDE.md pruning rituals has sprung up to manage the tool that was supposed to manage itself. The parallel to manual memory management isn't flattering, and the business incentives behind it are even worse.
Neither ChatGPT nor Claude nor Gemini shows subscribers how much they consume. No counter, no dashboard, no remaining-message indicator. So developers built their own. More than 30 third-party tools now track what a simple progress bar could show. The reason AI providers won't add one has everything to do with a business model that depends on customers not knowing what they're getting.

Apple turns 50 with record revenue but no AI strategy of its own. John Ternus is the likely next CEO. He inherits the gap.
Claude Code users say Opus 4.6 got worse. The public case for a secret nerf is thin, but Anthropic changed effort, cache, and reasoning controls behind a product name users can no longer read. The next failure may not look like an outage.
