This is where I’m at now with getting Claude to iterate over a problem. https://github.com/adam-s/intercept?tab=readme-ov-file#the-s...

I can care less about scraping and web automation and I will likely never use that application.

I am interested in solving a certain class of problems and getting Claude to build a proxy API for any website is very similar to getting Claude to find alpha. That loop starts with Claude finding academic research, recreating it, doing statistical analysis, refining, the agent updating itself, and iterate.

Claude building proxy JSON api for any website and building trading strategies is the same problem with the same class of bugs.

I use TimescaleDB which is fast with the compression. People say there are better but I don’t think I can fit another year of data on my disk drive either or

With Claude Code I created an agent that spawns 5 copies of itself branching git worktrees from main branch using subagents so no context leaks into their instructions. The agent will every 60 seconds analyze the performance of each of the copies which run for about 40 minutes answering the question "what would you do different?". After they finish the task, the parent will update the .claude/ files enhancing itself reverting if the copies performed worse or enhancing if they performed better. Then it creates 5 copies of itself branching git worktrees from main branch ..........

After 43 iterations, it can turn any website using any transport (WebSocket, GraphQL, gRPC-Web, SSE, JSON API (XHR), Encoded API (base64, protobuf, msgpack, binary), Embedded JSON, SSR, HLS/Media, Hybrid) into a typed JSON API in about 10 - 30 minutes.

Next I'm going to set it loose on 263 GB database of every stock quote and options trade in the past 4 years. I bet it achieves successful trading strategies.

Claude Code will be the first to AGI.
