T3 Code: a Vim user's workflow for building local utilities

A Vim user demonstrates T3 Code as a coding assistant for small utilities on macOS. The main project is an audio journal that groups short recordings by day, merges clips and opens their location in Finder. The speaker reviews earlier prompts, then requests a Bun folder watcher to ingest recordings from Downloads.

The workflow uses TypeScript, Svelte and Bun. The speaker explains his preference for this stack for self-hosted utilities and asks the agent to reuse an existing Python audio-processing pipeline for normalization. He also requests research into nightly Substack uploads, but accepts manual publishing after the agent reports an API limitation. That report is not independently verified in the video.

A second project is a dashboard for local web apps and Python media servers. Through successive prompts, the speaker requests dark mode, simpler cards and start/stop controls. He stores design preferences in T3 configuration for future changes, then asks for Docker-based service management after comparing his dashboard with Docker Compose.

The demonstration leaves several problems unresolved, including duplicate services and links that do not behave as expected. The speaker switches to plan mode for further work. He presents this approach as useful for personal scripts and system configuration, while reserving complex engineering for human judgment. The session does not demonstrate running a local LLM; local transcription is mentioned as a separate task.
