This was long time coming and finally done.

Basically one-shot /goal project migration.

Prompt: I want to migrate the whole project from JavaScript to TypeScript 7. I want 100% parity. I want LoC to drop dramatically. Minimum 30% overall. I want simplification across the board. I want code legibility up. I want interpretability of the codebase and how things connect to each other up. I want elegance. I want superfluous excess bloat code cleaned up and removed. I want first class, 10/10 codebase. I want it all done fully. No excuses. No waiting for my decisions. Get it all done, and present me fully migrated 100% functional solution in all regards.

Inspired by Teknium from Nous Research

I dropped the 30% LoC reduction later as it was obvious it was going nowhere that.

Some interesting facts and numbers:

- 1 573 JavaScript files -> 1 730 TypeScript files
- 390K -> 397K LoC
- 836 -> 921 runtime modules
- 734 -> 809 tests (91 % function coverage)

236 commits and 2.5 days later of running /goal with Sol 6.1 High whole codebase migrated. No migration-related issues found so far.

Could have been much faster as I enabled subagents only around 50 % and Fast mode somewhere around 75 %.

According to Codex, it took 2B of tokens total, 57M of fresh uncached input, the rest was cached. It didn't even took my weekly usage, I'd say maybe 80 % of it but there was a reset and then I hit another one about 30 % since it was expiring earlier this morning.

I thought this will take much longer to get more capable models.

PS.: I'm no coder by craft, pure AI native slopeloper :)

Building complex open-source but niche apps with AI is fun from a start but after few months, it can get boring, little depressing and lonely.

Yet from time to time you finish super cool feature which brings back the joy from solving problems.

The hardest part is to get anyone to try the thing you are working on because everyone else is busy working on their projects. Attention really got pretty scarce with agentic AI and very capable models.

I wonder it it wears off and how the world will look in a year. Wild, exciting yet scary times ahead.

GLM 5.3 Flash available from, all providers. It's a new open-weight vision model scoring 91% on @ArtificialAnlys Scientific Reasoning.

Go try it, looks great!

Btw, new major feature dropping soon, stay tuned!

It feels that way. But I suspect it'll come back to bite people later. Maybe some O(N!) scaling in the worst case.
