Hi HN! We just launched Codacy Guardrails, an IDE extension with a CLI for code analysis and MCP server that enforces security & quality rules on AI-generated code in real-time. It hooks into AI coding assistants (like VS Code Agent Mode, Cursor, Windsurf), silently scanning and fixing AI-suggested code that has vulnerabilities or violates your coding standards, while the code it’s being generated. We built this because coding agents can be a double-edged sword. They do boost productivity, but can easily introduce insecure or non-compliant code. One recent research team at NYU found that 40%…

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…
