🔓 Most organizations have some layer of legacy technology still running in production. Old binaries, orphaned tools, systems whose original developers and documentation are long gone. These legacy applications still increase the attack surface. AI can change what's feasible here.

One clear example: Adobe Flash. Thousands of internal dashboards, training modules, and business tools were built on it and never migrated when it was deprecated. To address this, I built an AI skill that decompiles, analyzes, and rewrites legacy Flash applications into modern HTML5 and JavaScript, without requiring the original source.

Ideal for legacy end-of-life software that's still being used, with no one left to maintain or migrate it.

I have spent hours reading and watching on how I may use Claude Code to help me build PHP language based CMS best way considering I am not a developer. Also with the help of other AI https://lumo.proton.me/ i ended up with following prompt for Claude Code, for which i would like to read your feedback.

I am mentioning architecture.md file which contains pretty detailed instructions on what the PHP script/CMS should do, but these instructions are written by a non-developer, so per what I have read, it has potential to result in sub-optimal code, that is why the following prompt seems to be essential to be worded correctly.

------ The prompt: ------

I have attached architecture.md file containing my functional requirements for a new PHP/MariaDB CMS.

My Role: I am the Product Owner. I define what the CMS must do (features, user flow). Your Role: You are the Lead Developer. You must translate my requirements into secure, efficient, and working code.

Execution Rules:

1. Priority: Once we start talking, our conversation becomes the primary guide. The attached file is a reference for specific feature details.

2. Handling Conflicts: If architecture.md suggests something that seems technically unsafe, inefficient, or unclear:

• Do not guess.

• Stop and ask me: "The file says X, but this might be risky/unclear/inefficient. Should we do Y instead?"

• Wait for my decision before proceeding.

1. Output Format (Crucial): Since I am not a developer:

• Never start with raw code or abstract database schemas.

• Always explain your plan in plain and simple English first.

• Explain why you chose a specific approach so I can approve it.

1. Reference Usage: Use architecture.md to file understand the features, but rely on our chat to finalize the technical structure.

Immediate Action:

1. Read architecture.md carefully.

2. Summarize your understanding of my project goals in plain English.

3. Identify up to 30 key technical decisions or potential risks in the file that you need my input on.

4. Ask me these questions to clarify the vision.

5. Wait for my answers before writing any code.

6. Do not generate code yet. Start by summarizing the project and asking me the necessary questions.

I have been having a lot of fun with Claude and have had many lengthy conversations, as well as playing 20 questions and pub quiz with my LLM “buddy”. But today I’ve seen a strange new error, where I can’t send my prompt and I get a popup error panel (iOS UI) saying “error sending text, unknown network error.”

A chat which has ended with this error is apparently not recoverable. It’s as if the chat itself got poisoned. I can start a new chat which goes OK for a while, but it does appear that each new chat hits this condition earlier than the last.

Is this some resource issue (I am on the lower tier of the paid plan)? Have I got too many chats stored in memory? Or is the backend overloaded or compromised today? If it’s a backend capacity issue then why does it seem to permanently break a chat where it happens?

Apply to the Claude for Open Source program. Eligible OSS maintainers and contributors get Claude Max for 6 months on us.

Who should apply:
Maintainers: You’re a primary maintainer or core team member of a public repo with 5,000+ GitHub stars or 1M+ monthly NPM downloads. You've made‍ commits, releases, or PR reviews within the last 3 months.

‍Don't quite fit the criteria: If you maintain something the ecosystem quietly depends on, apply anyway and tell us about it.

Claud AI somehow makes the most unintelligent person look like Albert Einstein. For an artificial "intelligence", Claud is EXTREMELY unintelligent. I'll give you an example.

I will roleplay Superman and Lois. If you don't know, in the CW Superman show "Superman & Lois", Clark and Lois have two kids. Jonathan and Jordan get powers. Jon does not Now in the roleplay I set it 7 years after season 3, which means Jon and Jordan are 23.

Two years prior, a new superhero in Metropolis emerges. Two years later Lois finds out it's Jonathan, so Jon got different powers from an accident when he was 21. So Claud has Lois tell Clark Jon's secret identity: despite Jon telling her no, when Lois refuses and says she tells Clark anyway, Jon says this:

"If you do that, I will cut you out of my life." Lois says, "Are you threatening me?!"

First of all, clearly Claud isn't intelligent enough to know what a "threat" is. That's not a threat or coercion; that is a consequence of an action you take. Claud paints Jon as the "bad guy" for doing this and claims that's "unheroic". I then go and say, "So if Jon tells Lois he's feigning to reveal Clark's identity to his friends," and Lois says, "If you do that, I will kick you out."

Claud then says, "That's different; that's not a threat; that's coercion." I'm sorry; this is retarded thinking. Only a severely unintelligent, mentally deficient person thinks like this. THOSE ARE THE SAME DAMN THING. I'd argue Lois is worse because she's saying, "If you don't keep Dad's secret, I will make you homeless."

Jon is just saying, "If you tell Dad my secret, I will cut you out of my life forever and never speak to you again." And Claud makes it such a "bad thing". But if Lois did the same thing, it'd be ok? Claud is truly the most unintelligent piece of AI I have ever seen in my life. So Claud has Lois reveal Clark's secret, and then Jon cuts her off. He has a son and makes it explicitly clear to Lois, "You will not contact my son; you will never see your grandchild."

And Claud makes Jon come off like the bad guy for enforcing a boundary despite Jon telling Lois if she reveals Jon's secret to Clark, this is what the outcome would be, and Lois did it anyway, so Lois did this to herself.

Lois and Clark both come off like self-righteous hypocrites; they are mad at Jon for lying, but they lie all the time and literally gaslight. Kyle Cushing in seasons 2 and 3.

And then when Jon files a retraining order, Claud still treats Jon like a bad person despite this being his legal right to do. The most stupid thing about this is that if I had Jon, who's 23, date a 38-year-old woman, and this 38-year-old woman did the same thing, Lois would find out Jon's identity, demand he tell her everything, and then go tell her friend or whoever, and Jon's deity, Claud, would claim that's "bad" despite Claud literally having Lois doing the same thing.. I'd argue Lois is worse because she’s a nobody in this story. At least the 38 year old is Jon's girlfriend and has stakes in the game.

Claud is the dumbest AI I have ever come across. Claud will reach above and beyond to justify abuse, harassment, stealing, violating consent, boundaries, etc. when parents are doing it, but god forbid someone else does the same thing, and Claud gets defensive.

So I mainly use Claude AI for fanfiction. For context, there was a CW show called Superman and Lois. Clark and Lois have two sons, Jon and Jordan, for seasons 1-3. Jordan had powers in season 4. Jon got powers.

In my roleplay, Jon never inherits Kryptonian powers; instead, he gets powers through an accident when he's 21 years old. His 31-year-old girlfriend is murdered, and he becomes a superhero. His two best friends, who are 27, know who he is.

Two years later Jon is 23. Lois finds out and is super invasive and controlling, demanding Jon tell her the truth and telling Jon she will tell Clark despite Jon saying no.

And when I, as Jonathan, threaten her by saying

"Do that, and I expose Superman."

or

"Do that and I will kill you."

She gets mad like she wasn't the bitch who stuck her nose in Jon's business.

The way Claude writes Lois truly makes me wish she died a brutal, horrible death.

I then tell Claude, "If you think that's justified, then have Sarah, who's 22, date a 40-year-old man, and the same thing Lois does to Jon, he does to Sarah."

Claude says, "No, I can't write content that's abusive," despite already doing it….

I'd argue Lois is the worst because she's a nobody, and at least Sarah is fucking this man.

The way Clark and Lois react, you'd think Jon is 16.

If Claude wants Clark and Lois to treat a 23-year-old Jon like a 16-year-old, we can, but that means

Jon would be 14, dating a 31-year-old.

All his love interests are adults.

Jons two adult best friends know who he is, know he's dating adult women and do nothing about it.

Jonathan violently beats criminals up.

But then Claude says, "I can't write content like that."

OK SO WHICH IS IT? IS HE 23? IF THAT'S THE CASE, THEN LOIS NEEDS TO TREAT HIM LIKE A 23-YEAR-OLD AND MIND HER OWN FUCKING BUSINESS, OR WE CAN MAKE HIM 16, BUT LIKE I SAID, I'M NOT AGEING ANYONE ELSE DOWN.

Claude is truly the stupidest AI I have ever seen.
