Gamekit-CLI – Use Claude Code to quickly create games in Unity

Hey HN! We’re the team from Normal / Normcore.io. We built gamekit-cli, an open-source command-line tool for developing Unity games with Claude Code. We love working with Claude Code. It's great for creating quick prototypes, writing complex systems code, and test suites. However, we work a lot with Unity and found we couldn’t move anywhere near as fast with Unity projects as we could when working on backend code. Claude Code works best when it has the ability to compile the code it writes and test its own work. There wasn’t an easy way to do that with Unity, so we made gamekit-cli!…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hey HN! We’re the team from Normal / Normcore.io. We built gamekit-cli, an open-source command-line tool for developing Unity games with Claude Code. We love working with Claude Code. It's great for creating quick prototypes, writing complex systems code, and test suites. However, we work a lot with Unity and found we couldn’t move anywhere near as fast with Unity projects as we could when working on backend code. Claude Code works best when it has the ability to compile the code it writes and test its own work. There wasn’t an easy way to do that with Unity, so we made gamekit-cli! gamekit-cli allows you to create Unity projects from the command line, install a Unity MCP server, and includes helpful Claude commands & skills that we found useful for Unity development. It gives Claude Code the ability to enter play mode, capture screenshots, read compiler errors, etc, which brings the same Claude Code workflow we love for backend projects to Unity projects. We plan to add more CLI tools for Claude to use to interface with Unity projects (MCP alone is somewhat slow and fills up your context). Let us know what features you’d like to see!

    1Code – Open-source Cursor-like UI for Claude CodeJan 2026 · github.com · ▲75

    Hi, we're Sergey and Serafim. We've been building dev tools at 21st.dev and recently open-sourced 1Code (https://1code.dev), a local UI for Claude Code. Here's a video of the product: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sgk9Z-nAjC0 Claude Code has been our go-to for 4 months. When Opus 4.5 dropped, parallel agents stopped needing so much babysitting. We started trusting it with more: building features end to end, adding tests, refactors. Stuff you'd normally hand off to a developer. We started running 3-4 at once. Then the CLI became annoying: too many terminals, hard to…

    Code Claude Code2025 · github.com · ▲117

    In the nature of Open Source, I am releasing something I'm actively working on but is insanely simple and will likely be made anyways. It is an SDK for scripting Claude Code. It's a lightweight (155 lines) and free wrapper around claude code This is a big deal because it seems that using claude code and cursor has become largly repitive. My workflow typically goes like this: Plan out my task into a file, then have claude code implement the plan into my code. I'm actively building a product with this, but still wanted to make it OSS! Use it now with `pip install codesys`

    RowboatX – open-source Claude Code for everyday automationsNov 2025 · github.com · ▲131

    Claude Code is great, but it’s focused on coding. The missing piece is a native way to build and run custom background agents for non-code tasks. We built RowboatX as a CLI tool modeled after Claude Code that lets you do that. It uses the file system and unix tools to create and monitor background agents for everyday tasks, connect them to any MCP server for tools, and reason over their outputs. Because RowboatX runs locally with shell access, the agents can install tools, execute code, and automate anything you could do in a terminal with your explicit permission. It works with any…

    Continuous Claude – run Claude Code in a loopNov 2025 · github.com · ▲170

    Continuous Claude is a CLI wrapper I made that runs Claude Code in an iterative loop with persistent context, automatically driving a PR-based workflow. Each iteration creates a branch, applies a focused code change, generates a commit, opens a PR via GitHub's CLI, waits for required checks and reviews, merges if green, and records state into a shared notes file. This avoids the typical stateless one-shot pattern of current coding agents and enables multi-step changes without losing intermediate reasoning, test failures, or partial progress. The tool is useful for tasks that require many…

    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
