My personal challenge last year was to solve everything on my mobile phone, using LLMs (mostly ChatGPT4 with code interpreter; I didn't paste in the problems, but rather described the code I wanted.)

This year I'm declaring "Advent of Claude"!

Challenge: Write a Claude custom style to solve Advent of Code puzzles within Claude's UI.

Score: # adventofcode.com stars earned in 2 daily conversation turns.

Fine print: web app artifacts are allowed, including paste of your custom input into the artifact UI; one click only.

Per https://adventofcode.com/2024/about, wait until the daily http://adventofcode.com leaderboard is full before submitting LLM-generated solutions!

Of course, feel free to use ChatGPT custom instructions, static prompts, etc.

Day 1: two stars, https://claude.site/artifacts/d16e6bdb-f697-45fe-930c-7f58b2...



While I personally wouldn't find it a ton of fun to solve the puzzles that way, that's pretty cool. Nice work.

Is there a place where you're blogging this or at least aggregating the links so we can see how far you get with it as the puzzles get more challenging?


Fair enough! I'll document my progress at https://github.com/jmandel/advent-of-claude/tree/main, though I may not keep up.


Thanks for posting that. It's been entertaining to follow your progress.
