Creating and editing vals

Section titled “Creating and editing vals”

The most reliable way to let Claude write vals for you is with vt watch, which will automatically sync your changes to Val Town.

  1. vt create, vt remix, or vt clone a val*
  2. cd into your val’s directory
  3. vt checkout -b <branch> to isolate changes (optional)
  4. vt watch to sync with Val Town
  5. claude to start your Claude Coding session

* Running vt create|remix|clone will ask you to add editor files including AGENTS.md, which Claude doesn’t support as of this writing (use CLAUDE.md instead).
