    We built this on a whim for a hackathon, but I'm thinking to turn it into a real thing! Original GitHub repository at: https://github.com/Flux159/claude-code-go The desktop app exposes an interface to Claude Code, so you can run Claude Code from your phone.

    I found myself frequently wanting to schedule tasks in Claude Code (both one-time and recurring) so I built a CC plugin to help with that. To install: /plugin marketplace add jshchnz/claude-code-scheduler /plugin install scheduler@claude-code-scheduler Then just tell Claude what you want (some examples): Every Wednesday at 3am find dead code: unused functions, unreachable branches, commented-out code, and unused imports. List by file with line numbers. Schedule a code review every weekday at 9am. Review commits from the last 24 hours, check for bugs, security issues, error…

    I was randomly browsing claude codes ralph wiggum plugin[1] and was surprised to see my toy project referenced. Since it appears people are getting some value out of it, thought I'd share it here... Full disclosure, this repo itself was built with a primitive ralph wiggum loop so expect AI slop. It works though. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ https://mikeyobrien.github.io/ralph-orchestrator/ [1] https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/tree/main/plugins/...

    I’ve been exploring LLM-driven developer workflows and built a demo where Claude Code acts like a Replit-style frontend for infrastructure. - You write a prompt in Claude - Claude generates a workload spec - Humanitec receives the spec and deterministically deploys infra to GCP (via Terraform) - App is up in under 1 minute — no pipelines, no DevOps tickets The backend is policy-enforcing and built for enterprise use cases (used by large orgs like Apple, ABB, etc.), but the flow feels like magic for devs or agents. demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvx9CgBSgG0 Repo:…

    Hola HN! Long time lurker, sometimes commentor, first time poster here. I’ve been working alongside my two co-founders and a few colleagues on a project I’m excited (and a little nervous) to share with you all! Like many of us, I’ve lived a tortured existence with AI coding (is it vibes?) over the past few months - I think November was a big moment with this. But, one thing I’ve noticed after building orchestration layer after orchestration layer is that the thing I always came back to was “what the hell is Claude Code actually doing?” Perhaps it’s because of the time Claude Code got…

    Pitaya is a local, open-source orchestrator for AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex CLI). It runs many agents in parallel, isolates each in Docker with its own git branch, supports pluggable Python strategies, and persists state so runs are resumable. Quickstart + short demo are in the README.

    heylo! open sourcing a plugin that I've been daily driving for a month. And I promise, I can't go back to vanilla Claude Code. I'm a heavy Claude Code user, and a couple of things kept bugging me. Claude really likes to jump into code. And its responses are too long. I'd skim past walls of text just to find the recommendation. Plan mode helps, but it didn't go deep enough. The questions it asked were still implementation questions, when what I actually needed was alignment on the problem. So I made it stop. Relay is a different output style and two Python hooks. When you describe what you…

    Claude Code is amazing at writing code, but it will happily build from under-specified requirements, implement the same thing different ways, and fail to write great tests unless you specifically ask it to. Prawduct is a set of prompts, skills, hooks, and artifact templates that help focus Claude Code on product development rather than code development. You can start from something a simple as "make a website with a scientific calculator" or as complex as "create a MMO with clients for iOS, Android, and web". You can specify as much or as little arch standards or implementation details as…

    I built Claude‑CMD, an open-source command-line interface for working with Claude Code commands, configurations, and AI-driven workflows. It’s designed to help developers and PMs streamline how they interact with Claude Code in coding tasks, automation, and prompt management. Website: claudecmd.com Happy to answer questions or hear suggestions. You can also contribute your own commands to help improve the project. Contributions welcome!

    Hi HN, We're the engineering team at Peakflo (B2B fintech). We built 20x internally because we kept copy-pasting Linear tickets into Claude, manually setting up branches, and babysitting agent output across terminals. Eventually we just built the infrastructure to connect task systems to agents directly — and decided to open source it. 20x is an open-source desktop app (macOS only — Linux and Windows on the roadmap) that orchestrates AI coding agents against your existing task systems. In practice: a Linear ticket gets pulled in → the triage agent assigns Claude Code + relevant skills → a…
