Clify – generate a CLI from any API docs, use it as agent tooling

clify is a Claude Code plugin. Give it an API documentation URL and it generates a complete CLI repo: commands for every endpoint, smoke tests, zero npm dependencies. Try it inside Claude Code: 1. /plugin marketplace add derrickko/clify 2. /plugin install clify@derrickko-clify 3. Run /clify You'll have a working CLI in about 10 minutes. I was building agents to manage ad campaigns. Meta's Marketing API has no CLI, and no MCP server either. So I wrote one by hand. It worked, but then I looked at the next API I needed and realized the same problem is everywhere: tons of…

    Hey, HN! I'm Aaron. I built an open-source Lovable for Claude Code users. Platforms like Lovable, Replit Agent, and Bolt require separate API keys and $25+/month subscriptions. But if you’re already subscribed to Claude Pro or Cursor, you can use those plans directly without extra costs. Claudable runs entirely locally through Claude Code (Cursor CLI also supported) and provides: - Instant UI preview (similar to Lovable) - Web-optimized, production-ready designs - Direct Git integration - One-click Vercel deployment - Zero additional API costs It’s open source and available today. I’m…

    Hi! My name is Herve Kom, a computer science student that is interested in learning new things everyday! As one of my graduation project, I have developed a Claude Code -like Coding CLI, but with enhancement for API Testing: - Auto-generate & run tests (unit, e2e, Playwright, CI/CD, etc.) - Say bye-bye to hallucinations with built-in MCP Server to let LLM directly read from API Docs - Adding Agent.md support for better context persistence across your whole codebase - Automatic bug & security scans (logic is kind of basic but works great!) - Vibes, I want it to feel less "enterprise" but…

Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
