We needed something like --dangerously-skip-permissions that doesn’t nuke your untracked files, exfiltrate your keys, or install malware. Claude Code's permission system is allow-or-deny per tool, but that doesn’t really scale. Deleting some files is fine sometimes. And git checkout is sometimes not fine. Even when you curate permissions, 200 IQ Opus can find a way around it. Maintaining a deny list is a fool's errand. nah is a PreToolUse hook that classifies every tool call by what it actually does, using a deterministic classifier that runs in milliseconds. It maps commands to action types…

A smarter shell and scripting environment with advanced features designed for usability, safety and productivity (eg smarter DevOps tooling) - lmorg/murex

This started out as a fork of pydoro and turned into a playground for dataclasses and strict mypy type checking. Some of the advanced features are - it writes the current status into .local/state/pomoglorbo for i3status/xbar - it is very configurable, including cmd hooks to run after a Pomodoro/break finishes or starts The layout is compact, and it runs well over SSH/Mosh/Tmux.

The pattern of downloading and executing installation scripts without verifying them has bothered me for a while. I started messing around with a way to verify the checksum of scripts before I execute them. I've found it a really useful tool for installing things like Rust or Deno. It's written entirely as a shell script, and it's easy to read and understand what's happening. I hope it may be useful to someone else!

I kept re-Googling the same flags, so I built a tiny, fast directory of copy-ready CLI commands. It’s static (vanilla JS), instant search, keyboard nav (↑/↓ + Enter), favorites (localStorage), and linkable queries. Examples: • grep errors → https://www.greppers.com/?q=grep%20error%20logs • list open ports (macOS) → https://www.greppers.com/?q=list%20open%20ports • show git branch graph → https://www.greppers.com/?q=git%20graph • tail with colors → https://www.greppers.com/?q=tail%20colors Tech notes: static site on Netlify, no…

Been exploring claude and spec-based coding, I think it turned out fairly successful. It's just a simple unix-style tool that gives you a single command to use in bash scripts to simplify mutex or semaphore locking of execution.

About a month ago I started a suprisingly-not-that tricky project to build an experimental python repl that I could use instead of bash as a daily shell in windows, mac or linux. It"s more hack-for-exploration than a production ready shell, but here it is! Hope somebody finds it anywhere near as interesting to check out as I found making it. Disclaimer: I know about xonsh and love it (if you haven't heard of it, google it). This project is more pure python and less python and bash interacting - see the readme for more details.

Hello everybody! We (lukeflo and me) have made a little notes management tui written in bash based on fff by Dylan Araps, which we've improved a lot to make it a notes management tui. It uses your editor of choice to edit and create notes, you can fuzzy search your notes and search them by tags you give them by writing them in the markdown yaml or emacs org header. All in all it turned out to be a surprisingly good project that we now want to refine after just releasing v1.0, so any feedback, suggestions or criticism is very welcome!

Cheatsheets could be a powerful tool for lots of people, especially a full-stack developer like me, but I hate online cheatsheets for a few reasons: 1. Most online cheatsheets are pdf files or webpages. I can't add my own stuff, nor only take the parts that are useful to me. 2. There is no easy way to search across all the cheatsheets I've collected. 3. Can't make part of a cheatsheet private, therefore, I have to delete sensitive stuff before sharing mine with others. I ended up using multiple txt files to store mine over the years which is cumbersome as well. So I built Cheaki.com. On…

We’ve been building visual rule engines (clear spreadsheet interfaces -> API endpoints that map incoming data to a large number of potential outcomes), and had the fun idea lately to see what happens when we use our decision table UI with Claude’s PreToolUse hook. The result is a surprisingly useful policy/gating layer– these tables let your team: - Write conditional, exception-friendly policies beyond globs/prefixes (e.g. allow rm -rf only in */node_modules/*, deny / or $HOME, ask if --force or network call; gate kubectl delete / SQL DROP with a clear reason) -…

Hi everyone! I built this because I wanted a little bit more organization around my Claude sessions, worktrees and plans while staying in the terminal and not relying on another SaaS tool. Since it's a command line tool, the added bonus is that Claude can use `td` directly. The td calendar was just a fun add-on but the Claude session stats have been pretty interesting! Let me know what you think!

We're two engineers that got fed up with context switching. Why do we need to do a git push, open a browser tab, wait for some task to actually start, bite nails (or read HackerNews) for 10 minutes or more while dependencies are being installed for the 100th time and finally end up with an invalid YAML error. And for some reason this usually happens in the final stage of the pipeline leading up to the inevitable git commits "Fixed", "Fixed again", "Test", "Really fixed this time". We can do better. We set out to build Zippy. A CI/CD system that works from your terminal. No context…

I'm Dustin Kirkland, author of Byobu[1]. I built Trustmux[2] to solve a personal problem: secure, encrypted access to my tmux[3] and Byobu sessions from my phone, without the pain of other mobile shell approaches. I run long-lived shells, Claude, and other sessions in the background on my workstation, and I needed to check in from mobile — securely, with real TLS certificates and Tailscale-backed privacy, not some insecure workaround. Why not SSH / Mosh / Claude Mobile? - SSH/Mosh: Synchronous connection state is brutal on mobile. Latency, network handoffs between WiFi and…
