    Agent 37▲401

    Hey HN, I noticed there are 1,000+ MCP skills on GitHub with zero way for creators to charge for them. So I built Agent37. Selling Claude skills today means asking customers to download your skill, set up Claude Code on their laptops, configure MCP servers, and pray it works. No trial, no updates, often you're just handing over the source. Agent37 lets creators upload a skill, share a link, and anyone can try it instantly (no Claude account needed). Built-in Stripe, creators keep 80%. Looking for feedback on the approach. Would you use something like this?

    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:…

    Hi all! I normally work on the PyTorch project but I've been on baby leave for the past month, so I've been playing around with AI as a user rather than a framework implementor. I really liked the agent experience with Claude Code, but I couldn't really justify spending so many dollars on API costs for random side projects. I already pay for a Claude Pro subscription though, and it turns out you can simulate many of Claude Code's features with an MCP. If you have a Pro subscription, check this out! I think it really captures the Claude Code experience quite well, without forcing you to pay…

    I use Claude Code across multiple projects with different conventions and some shared repos just as it so happens to be the real world. Managing the config files (.claude/rules/, mcps.json, settings.json) by hand got tedious, so I built a local web UI for it. This one started out as claude-config but migrated to coder-config as I'm adding others (Gemini, AG, Codex, etc). Main features: - Visual editor for rules, permissions, and MCP servers - Project registry to switch between codebases - "Workstreams" to group related repos (frontend + API + shared libs) with shared context -…

    Hello everyone. Claudraband wraps a Claude Code TUI in a controlled terminal to enable extended workflows. It uses tmux for visible controlled sessions or xterm.js for headless sessions (a little slower), but everything is mediated by an actual Claude Code TUI. One example of a workflow I use now is having my current Claude Code interrogate older sessions for certain decisions it made: https://github.com/halfwhey/claudraband?tab=readme-ov-file#s... This project provides: - Resumable non-interactive workflows. Essentially `claude -p` with session support: `cband continue…

    Claude Code is amazing for individuals but terrible for teams. I spent the last six months building my perfect mix of MCP servers, subagents, commands and skills. Claude Code writes 100% of the code now, but sharing this with my team? Painful. 1. Blog posts and workshops don't work (and don't scale) 2. Committing tools to N repos means N PRs. A tool changes? N more PRs. 3. Same tools, different files or folders for each AI assistant; not everyone uses Claude Code It is like 1999 all over again; FTPing files up to prod and versioning with ".bak" suffixes. So I built sx. It is your team's…

    Claude Code has no memory between sessions. I wanted to fix that, but not by just saving facts to a file — I wanted it to actually get better over time. Claude Soul is an MCP server + hooks that extracts signals from your interactions (corrections, successes, confusion)and periodically reflects on them to build behavioral frameworks. Frameworks gain or lose confidence based on evidence. Bad ones get retired automatically. After ~200 sessions some weird stuff happened. It built itself an additional memory system on top of what I gave it — decided the base wasn't enough. It started pushing…

    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…
