Lucianlabs — AI workbench
I write about working with AI coding agents like Claude Code and Codex: the numbers I measured, how each experiment went, and what failed. Every tool I write about is free to use.

Notes
How my tools work, numbers from experiments, and what went wrong along the way.
Experiment ·
I compared AV1 and H.264 while shrinking the 36.9MB video on the PromptFilm page. AV1 scored higher on quality, but 284 of 439 faint stars disappeared.

Tools
Tools I built because I needed them while working with AI. All free; install steps and source code are on each project page and on GitHub.
All repositories
Describe it. Get a 3D film.
A Claude Code plugin that researches, plans scenes, builds a 3D HTML film that plays in the browser, reviews it and exports MP4.
Try the interface. Take the prompt.
An interactive gallery of 400 UX/UI elements, from buttons and charts to hero, pricing and form animations. Copy the prompt or the working code.
Hand off a long AI chat
Hand off ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Grok chats to another AI, or export them to PDF, Markdown, Word and HWPX. Everything runs in your browser.
Keep your current task moving
Leave follow-ups with /next while Claude works. Each runs in its own turn after the current task ends.
See where your tokens go
Reads real session logs to show how much tool output, skill bodies and instructions take up, then proposes changes before applying them.
Make your skills and instructions count
Finds truncated skill descriptions, duplicates and outdated instructions, then backs up and cleans only what you approve.
Before an important folder is deleted
Inspects terminal deletion commands from Codex and blocks requests that would wipe a protected parent folder.
Films
Made with PromptFilm. Scenes are planned around real figures from public sources.
