    Claude Opus 4.7 is Anthropic's most capable generally available model, released April 16, 2026. It outperforms Opus 4.6, GPT-5.4, and Gemini 3.1 Pro on key benchmarks including agentic coding, multidisciplinary reasoning, scaled tool use, and agentic computer use. It is benchmarked below Claude Mythos Preview — which remains restricted to Project Glasswing partners. https://vucense.com/ai-intelligence/ai-tools/claude-opus-4-7...

    For the last year we've been building an AI mobile app builder. Last week we decided to generalize our agent harness and benchmark it against vanilla Claude Code. Turns out the tools we built for app building were significantly more efficient than the native Claude Code tools. When we ran benchmarks we beat Claude code on speed (~40% faster) , cost (25-55% cheaper) and performance (+17% on Terminal Bench 2.0). Today we're making our agent harness publicly available as a Claude Code plugin. Use code WOZCODE1 to try it for $1 at wozcode.com

    I got tired of playwright-mcp eating through Claude's 200K token limit, so I built this using the new Claude Skills system. Built it with Claude Code itself. Instead of sending accessibility tree snapshots on every action, Claude just writes Playwright code and runs it. You get back screenshots and console output. That's it. 314 lines of instructions vs a persistent MCP server. Full API docs only load if Claude needs them. Same browser automation, way less overhead. Works as a Claude Code plugin or manual install. Token limit issue:…

    I’ve been impressed with Claude Code but one thing that sometimes gets in the way in my workflows is the messy, mangled text that is shown when pasting text from the Claude Code terminal sessions. So I built an open-source utility that cleans extraneous white space, pipes, and other characters from your CC/Codex pastes. For example, you can turn this: `How can I create a Claude Code script that │ │ cleans up extraneous characters and cleans up │ │ extra spaces, new lines, and other messiness │ when I copy from Claude Code terminal │ │ prompts or copy code from Claude Responses in │ │…

    I built a collection of professional slash commands for Anthropic's Claude Code that provide structured workflows for common software development tasks. These commands are directly inspired by and adapted from Anthropic's own claude-code-best-practices (https://www.anthropic.com/engineering/claude-code-best-practices) documentation, translating their recommendations into executable workflows. The suite includes commands for: • Comprehensive code reviews with security and performance analysis • End-to-end feature development with planning, implementation, and testing •…

    Hey HN! I built Retain as the evolution of claude-reflect (github.com/BayramAnnakov/claude-reflect). The original problem: I use Claude Code/Codex daily for coding, plus claude.ai and ChatGPT occasionally. Every conversation contains decisions, corrections, and patterns I forget existed weeks later. I kept re-explaining the same preferences. claude-reflect was a CLI tool that extracted learnings from Claude Code sessions. Retain takes this further with a native macOS app that: - Aggregates conversations from Claude Code, claude.ai, ChatGPT, and Codex CLI - Instant full-text…

    Hey HN. I built this because my Anthropic API bills were getting out of hand (spoiler: they remain high even with this, batch is not a magic bullet). I use Claude Code daily for software design and infra work (terraform, code reviews, docs). Many Terminal tabs, many questions. I realised some questions are ok to wait on and with that comes some cost savings. So here is a small MCP that lets you send work directly to Anthropic's Batch API from inside Claude Code, for the same quality responses just 50% cheaper, results come back in ~30min-1hr. How it works: you type /batch review this…

    Boris Cherny (Claude Code creator) recently dropped a threads on how his team at Anthropic uses Claude Code. The key insight: they don't treat it as a static config. After every correction, they tell Claude "Update your CLAUDE.md so you don't make that mistake again." Claude writes a rule for itself. They review it, commit it to git. The mistake never happens again. I cross-referenced his tweets with Anthropic's official docs and other best practices for CLAUDE.md and then packaged it into a starter kit: - Fill-in-the-blank templates for Next.js/TypeScript, Python/FastAPI, and a…
