Has anybody put together or use  a claude/codex  skill  that help with document universe code programs. interested is seeing how people are using these ai tools

I’m quite sure we have an AI panelist who will speak to those topics at the MV World conference in Tampa this month. I’m out and about right now, so take a look at the Plenary speakers here. The company name is Hexaview IIRC.

I just installed it today and it went smoothly and appears to be working pretty well

Not a skill but Claude is decent enough at this point to use without much prodding. It can read the BASIC code and follow the style. It doesn't have that understanding that feels magical in other languages but it can automate boilerplate and analyze code paths.

I've used it for some debugging and it works quite well. 

The 1 million token context means you can dump entire programs into Claude and get something coherent. Beware that these companies basically stole the data to train their models so throwing your niche code and client data.....

I have used Claude to help debug and review Pick Basic programs.  It is really good at finding logic errors and typos.  It also makes stuff up, for example it didn't understand that $MODE UV.LOCATE "LOCATE BY 'AR' " would correctly sort numeric data, it wanted me to use the nonexistent LOCATE BY 'AN' SETTING HALLUCINATION.   It works great most of the time; however I don't think it is as well trained in Pick Basic as it is in other languages.  It is still really useful and could potentially save you significant debugging time if used judiciously.

Actually, OpenQM DOES allow an 'N' in the BY phrase of the LOCATE statement. It means that the sort should be "non-case-sensitive", so you would only use it for a text LOCATE - something like:

    LOCATE needle IN haystack BY 'ALN' SETTING needlepos ELSE ...

But still, this usage doesn't match what Claude has suggested ... and I don't know how widely this sort code is actually used.

Cheers,

Brian
