My Claude Code Insights
Three months of progress.
I didn’t discover Claude Code’s /insights command until I’d been at it about six months. I could not have told you why I do this when I do when I started writing this piece, but with a little timeline it becomes clear.
August 5th, 2025 - Claude Opus 4.1 released AND the day I began treatment for MCAS.
September 29th, 2025 - Claude Sonnet 4.5 released
November 24th, 2025 - Opus 4.5 released.
February 5th, 2026 - the mighty Opus 4.6 released.
February 7th, 2026 - 1st /insights
February 17th, 2026 - Sonnet 4.6 released.
March 22nd, 2026 - 2nd /insights
April 16th, 2026 - Opus 4.7 stumbles into the sunlight.
April 28th, 2026 - 3rd /insights
So I did some introspection after Opus 4.6 arrived, then against after Sonnet 4.6, and now again after Opus 4.7 has recovered from its initial troubles. The new Opus is the proximal change at Anthropic, but I have also recently set up second-opinion from the Trail of Bits skills. I’ve tried it using Claude wrapped in several Ollama cloud models, but DeepSeek-v4-pro, just yesterday, gave me some serious feedback about my big development project. I guess that’s why I’m in a thoughtful mood.
I don’t know that I have a lot more to say here - these are the summaries from three reports on my personal progress. I’m going to suggest that maybe you get in the monthly habit of asking Claude Code for your /insights, save them, and review your progress. I’m feeding these to Claude Cowork so I can update my growth plan.
