Claude Code paste bug fix — abstract clipboard with broken chain and error symbols in red and orange

Claude Code Login Issue: How to Fix the “Can’t Paste Authentication Code” Error on macOS and Windows

If you just ran claude login, got your authentication code from the browser, and your terminal silently refuses to paste it, you are not doing anything wrong. This was a known regression that started in Claude Code v2.1.105 and persisted through v2.1.107, confirmed by Anthropic’s own changelog and dozens of open bug reports on GitHub. The paste prompt swallowed your input because bracketed paste mode stopped being handled correctly after a v2.1.86 fix for OAuth token masking, and the fallout hit macOS Terminal, iTerm2, Warp, Windows Terminal, PowerShell, and WSL2 at the same time. The good news: Anthropic shipped an official fix in Claude Code v2.1.108 on April 14, 2026. […]

Claude Computer Use: What It Is, How to Set It Up, and What You Can Actually Do With It

Claude can now take control of your Mac, clicking buttons, typing text, opening apps, and completing tasks on your screen while you step away. Anthropic launched Claude computer use on March 23, 2026 as a research preview for Pro and Max subscribers, and it changes how you interact with AI. The company announced the feature alongside Dispatch, its new phone-to-desktop task delegation system. Instead of copying and pasting between Claude and your apps, you simply tell Claude what you need done, and it does the work directly on your desktop. This isn’t a gimmick or a developer-only tool. Whether you’re a student juggling research papers, a marketer managing campaigns across […]

A hand holding a smartphone with a Claude Code terminal session glowing on the screen — how to use Claude Code on your phone in 2026

How to Use Claude Code on Your Phone: 3 Methods That Actually Work

On February 25, 2026, Anthropic shipped Remote Control, the official way to connect Claude Code running on your desktop to your iPhone or Android. One command, one QR scan, and your terminal session is live on your phone. No VPN, no port forwarding, no third-party tools required. Before Remote Control existed, developers were already hacking together SSH tunnels, Tailscale meshes, and Telegram bots to supervise long Claude Code runs from their phones. Those methods still work and are worth knowing. This guide covers all three approaches, starting with the easiest, so you can pick the one that fits your setup. The Key Takeaways Which Method Is Right for You? Method […]

A person confidently using Claude Code skills at a laptop — a beginner's guide to creating custom Claude Code skills that work without any coding

How to Create Your Own Claude Code Skills That Actually Work

Claude Code skills can cut the time spent on repetitive AI tasks by 70% or more, and most people using Claude Code have never touched them. A skill is a saved set of instructions that Claude follows the exact same way every time; you invoke it with one short command, and it just works. We tested five custom skills built specifically for non-technical users: a content writer, a small business owner, a marketing manager, a teacher, and a student researcher. None of them had a coding background. All five had working skills inside an hour. This guide shows you exactly how they did it, what to include, and the one […]

A developer at a dark ultrawide monitor setup with glowing code windows — illustrating the best Claude Code skills picked by use case

The 30 Best Claude Code Skills to Add (Picked by Use Case)

Most Claude Code users discover skills by accident. Someone mentions a /skill-name command, it works brilliantly, and suddenly they want more. What most guides miss is that the best Claude Code skills depend entirely on what you actually do. A developer, a teacher, and an ops manager all have very different workflows, and the skill that saves one of them hours a week might be completely useless to the others. This guide covers the best Claude Code skills by use case, starting with the built-in skills you already have and may not know about, then moving into the top picks for developers, teachers and students, document workers, writers, business teams, […]

Hero image showing OpenClaw, a new AI assistant (formerly known as Moltbot and ClawdBot), displayed on a laptop with the headline “Meet OpenClaw, The AI Assistant Everyone’s Talking About.”

OpenClaw (Formerly ClawdBot & Moltbot): A Complete Overview of this New AI Assistant & Practical Guide

OpenClaw (originally ClawdBot, briefly MoltBot) is a personal AI assistant that runs on your own computer. You control it by sending text messages through apps you already use — WhatsApp, Telegram, iMessage, Slack, or Discord. The project has become one of the fastest-growing GitHub repositories (link) ever, amassing over 145,000 stars and 2 million visitors in its first week. It’s also sparked significant security concerns and even a crypto scam — making it one of the most talked-about AI tools of early 2026. Think of it this way: The name sounds similar to “Claude” for a reason. OpenClaw uses Claude (made by Anthropic) as its brain, though it can also […]
