24 alternatives to Crabby – Claude Code skill that reviews code like the Rust compiler
I built a Claude Code skill called crabby that makes Claude output diagnostics in rustc error format - severity codes, location arrows, causation spans, and a paste-able fix every time. The twist: Claude becomes Ferris the crab, grumpy and unimpressed, but technically precise. The format works for code review, writing review, architecture, strategy - anything you submit. The "writing review" example tends to surprise people: it flags passive voice in a postmortem with the exact same error[W002] format as a SQL injection. https://github.com/ekadetov/crabby

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:…

Paste in my prompt to Claude Code with an embedded API key for accessing my public readonly SQL+vector database, and you have a state-of-the-art research tool over Hacker News, arXiv, LessWrong, and dozens of other high-quality public commons sites. Claude whips up the monster SQL queries that safely run on my machine, to answer your most nuanced questions. There's also an Alerts functionality, where you can just ask Claude to submit a SQL query as an alert, and you'll be emailed when the ultra nuanced criteria is met (and the output changes). Like I want to know when somebody posts about…

At my work they provided a single Claude subscription for everyone on the team. To be honest I like kiro better as it provides a way better SDD management. But the company can't provide it and I can't afford it yet. Turns out I had the skill creator skill in my claude instance so I made use of it to create this Skill. I made it fully by using Claude but I wanted to make it open source, so I asked it to help me make tests and preparations for it, even a CI to run python tests. Well, we got this results with it: - Phase 2A: 67 static assertions (Python script, runs in CI) - Phase 2B: 15…

Hi HN, I built this because I got tired of the Claude Code CLI hiding details from me. Recent updates have replaced critical output with summaries like "Read 3 files" or "Edited 2 files". To see what actually happened, I was forced to use `--verbose`, which floods the terminal with unreadable JSON and system prompts. I wanted a middle ground: *Full observability without the noise.* `claude-devtools` is a local Electron app that tails the session logs in `~/.claude/` to reconstruct the execution trace in real-time. *Unlike wrappers, it solves the visibility gap in your native…

I got tired of sharing AI demos with terminal screenshots or screen recordings. Claude Code already stores full session transcripts locally as JSONL files. Those logs contain everything: prompts, tool calls, thinking blocks, and timestamps. I built a small CLI tool that converts those logs into an interactive HTML replay. You can step through the session, jump through the timeline, expand tool calls, and inspect the full conversation. The output is a single self-contained HTML file — no dependencies. You can email it, host it anywhere, embed it in a blog post, and it works on mobile. Repo:…

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…

Hi y'all. Been working on something that should've been made a long time ago imo. It compiles codebases into O(1) hashmaps that the agent queries to discover the structure of your code/answer questions/write code. It also does complete static analysis checks on any writes the agent makes. Don't take my word for it though. Here are the benchmarks: https://benzi.fly.dev/benchmark. on 2/20 tests, Claude Code (mostly Sonnet on one task) regressed or timed out. Benzi didn't because of course, it has a map it can query and not get lost in the sauce. On the other 18 it…

Hi All, Recently I've been using Claude Code a lot for debugging cluster issues and I realized I was performing similar tasks repeatedly so I decided to package them up into skills so I could call them up more easily (e.g. `/investigate`, `/audit-security`, `/audit-outdated`). I'm calling the skill pack "kstack" and the goal is to be able to monitor and troubleshoot K8s from within Claude Code. If you have time, I'd love to get some feedback on the project!

A bunch of companies that I spoke to had their own claude & codex OTel dashboards that showed spend + seats per month. However, none of the dashboards actually analyzed how the engineers worked with the tools and if there were any areas for improvement! That's why I created https://www.promptster.ai. Managers get aggregate level view of code quality and how that ties with team workflows (nothing on a per-engineer level). While engineers get personalized coaching on how they can save tokens while keeping output high. We also have a tool built for individuals to test their local…

Creating high-quality skills for Claude manually is complex, requiring specific technical knowledge of the file system structure (like SKILL.md), YAML metadata configuration, and precise prompt engineering to ensure the agent behaves correctly. MakeSkill eliminates this friction by automating the technical implementation. Instead of writing code and configuration files from scratch, users interact with MakeSkill's AI to refine their ideas. The platform then generates the complete, optimized skill package—following all best practices—ready to be downloaded and imported directly into Claude…

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…

We built CodeYam Memory because Claude Code kept making the same mistakes on our codebase. Our claude.md files quickly got stale and maintaining by hand or with Claude wasn’t sufficient. While digging into this we found that Claude has a native rules system that allowed us to target specific parts of our repo with path matching. This was ideal for our use case but trying to manage these rules by hand was already not working and would be even harder with more granular, targeted rules. CodeYam Memory uses a background agent to review your coding session transcripts, identifies confusion…
