Config manager for Claude Code (and others) – rules, MCPs, permissions

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 -…

In plain words

Coder-config is a local web interface for managing configuration files across multiple AI coding assistants including Claude Code, Gemini, and others. It provides a visual editor for rules, MCP servers, and permissions, plus a project registry to switch between codebases and "workstreams" that group related repositories with shared context. The tool auto-loads workstreams when navigating to project folders and can be installed as a desktop app or PWA, eliminating manual editing of configuration files.

  • Project management system for Claude Code2025 · github.com · ▲175

    I built a lightweight project management workflow to keep AI-driven development organized. The problem was that context kept disappearing between tasks. With multiple Claude agents running in parallel, I’d lose track of specs, dependencies, and history. External PM tools didn’t help because syncing them with repos always created friction. The solution was to treat GitHub Issues as the database. The "system" is ~50 bash scripts and markdown configs that: - Brainstorm with you to create a markdown PRD, spins up an epic, and decomposes it into tasks and syncs them with GitHub issues - Track…

  • Codemcp – Claude Code for Claude Pro subscribers – ditch API bills2025 · github.com · ▲172

    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…

  • Claude Code ManagerApr 2026 · claude.ldlework.com · ▲11

    I built this for myself but I figured why not share. The aim of CCM is to be able to fully manage all Claude Code configuration files, both globally and those in your project. Some neat features: - Manages your CLAUDE.md, rules, hooks, agents, memories and so on. - Elevate memories to rules - Copy/Move any asset from one scope to another, or elevate it to global scope - Install marketplaces and plugins The full app is embedded right on the site as a demo so you can try it out. I'm happy to receive feedback, I know it's not perfect. Thanks for taking a look.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
