CircleCI is now available as a Codex plugin

CircleCI is part of the latest wave of Codex plugin integrations, joining the directory alongside other popular development tools like Vercel, Cloudflare, Figma, Notion, Sentry, Hugging Face, Linear, and more. If you’re using Codex, you already know that writing code is rarely the hardest part of your job. It’s the delays, interruptions, and context switching that start when that code breaks on its way to production. The CircleCI Codex plugin closes that gap.

Building an agentic content production system with Claude Code

This post by an engineer explains how his team uses the.claude folder in Claude Code. The folder is the hidden directory where you store context files, behavioral rules, and automated workflows so Claude understands how to operate in a specific project. He’d set up coding conventions, tool configs, CI integrations. Very engineering-brained. The tool is called Claude Code, so fair enough. I run a web and content team. We write blog posts, tutorials, and technical guides for a living.

RalphCI: The Self-Healing AI Coding Loop That Automatically Fixes CI Failures

RalphCI is an open-source, CI-enabled agentic coding loop built by the Loop Lab at CircleCI. You write a spec, and the agent breaks it down into tasks, builds your application step by step, commits to GitHub, and runs your full CI pipeline on every iteration. If anything fails—linting, tests, security scans, missing files—a CI Doctor sub-agent detects the failure, reads the stack trace, and fixes it automatically. In this video, Ryan Hamilton demos RalphCI by building a classic Snake game end-to-end with zero manual coding.

7 AI productivity lessons from the CTO of Superhuman

Most companies have built AI into their product by now, and many consider it the central feature of what they’re building. But plenty of those same companies are still figuring out how to get their own engineering teams to actually use AI tools day to day. When Loïc Houssier joined Superhuman as CTO in early 2025, his team was in that exact spot. The company had been shipping AI email features for years, but internal adoption of AI dev tools was still early.

Claude Livecaster Is Now Open Source, Plus a Two-Voice Broadcast Mode | CircleCI Loop Lab

Claude Livecaster is now public on CircleCI Research. In this update, Ryan Hamilton walks through the newly open-sourced repo, seven built-in simulation scenarios, and a new two-voice broadcast format featuring an anchor and a field correspondent narrating the action together. The demo scenario: Pipeline Wars, six CI pipelines racing across three providers, with Claude providing live color commentary on every Docker build failure, OOM kill, and production rollout.

We Made Claude Narrate an AI Model Race Like a Sports Commentator | Loop Lab

What if you didn't have to stare at logs while your AI agent worked? In this Loop Lab experiment, Ryan Hamilton built Claude Livecaster, a tool that gives Claude a live voice to narrate long-running agentic processes like a sports commentator. The demo: six AI models (GPT, Gemini, and Claude variants) race through a CI/CD benchmark, and Claude calls the whole thing play-by-play. Rate limit hits, comeback stories, photo finishes, all of it, out loud.
