A running log of AI-adjacent links I want to remember: tools to try, projects to watch, articles I read or mean to. Some are tested and I have an opinion. Most are on the want-to-try pile.
Status legend:
- ✅ tried it, recommend
- 🟡 tried it, mixed feelings
- ❌ tried it, would not bother again
- 👀 on my list, not tried yet
| Date added | Item | What it is | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-05-22 | cs.sh by jedi4ever | Tiny bash wrapper that runs Claude Code headlessly without -p (to skip the API-mode surcharge): spins up a one-shot session, auto-approves every tool call via a PreToolUse hook, captures the final assistant reply with a Stop hook, prints it on stdout, and cleans up the session file. ~30 lines. | 👀 Not tried yet, probably good |
| 2026-05-22 | tweakcc | CLI tool that patches Claude Code itself to customize system prompts, themes, thinking verbs, spinners, input-box styling, custom toolsets, AGENTS.md support, and unlock private/unreleased features. Works for both native and npm installs. | 👀 Not tried yet, looks cool |
| 2026-05-22 | andrej-karpathy-skills | A single CLAUDE.md file distilling Andrej Karpathy’s observations on LLM coding pitfalls into four principles: think before coding, simplicity first, surgical changes, goal-driven execution. Drop-in for any Claude Code project. | 👀 Not tried yet, looks cool |
| 2026-05-20 | caveman | Claude Code skill that rewrites prompts in “caveman speak” — short, content-word-only phrasing — to cut token usage by ~65%. Half meme, half real prompt-compression experiment; 60k+ stars. | 👀 Not tried yet, looks promising |
| 2026-05-20 | codeburn | Interactive TUI dashboard for AI coding token spend across Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor. Parses local session logs to break down cost per session, model, and tool over time. | 🟡 Tried, mixed feelings — works fine but the data it shows didn’t change how I work |
| 2026-05-17 | Tolaria | Desktop app (macOS/Windows/Linux) for managing Markdown knowledge bases. Files-first — notes stay as plain .md files, never locked in a proprietary format. Git-first — every vault is a git repo with full history. Built by the Refactoring.fm folks; 10k+ stars, used for second brains, personal wikis, and storing AI assistant context. | 👀 Not tried yet |
| 2026-05-13 | claude-account-switcher | macOS menubar app for switching between multiple Claude Code logins. Stores each account’s OAuth tokens in Keychain (claude-switcher:{email}), keeps cached account metadata in ~/.config/claude-switcher/accounts.json, and atomically swaps ~/.claude.json’s oauthAccount field on switch — so other tools (e.g. statusline scripts) can read the active account locally without a network call. | ✅ Tested, recommend |
| 2026-05-12 | dot-ai (my write-up) | Viktor Farcic’s AI-powered MCP server for Kubernetes operations. I use it for shared/git skills — custom prompts synced from a central git repo (my wxs/ai-resources) and exposed as /dot-ai-* slash commands globally across all Claude Code projects. | ✅ Tested, recommend |
| 2026-05-12 | Infisical agent-vault | Open-source credential broker that securely proxies API calls for AI agents by injecting credentials at the network layer — agents never see the secrets directly. | 👀 Not tried yet — waiting on #124 |
| 2026-05-12 | multica.ai | Open-source platform that turns coding agents into real teammates — assign tasks to AI agents, track progress, and manage a combined human-agent workforce from a centralized dashboard. | 👀 Not tried yet |
| 2026-05-12 | clawd-on-desk | Pixel desktop pet that reacts in real-time to AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, …) with 12 animated states. Permission-bubble UI for tool approvals, eye tracking in idle, session dashboard for concurrent agents. | ✅ Tested, recommend |
| 2026-05-12 | agnix | Linter and LSP for AI coding assistants — validates CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, SKILL.md, hooks and MCP configs with autofixes. Rust CLI with plugins for VS Code and other major IDEs. | 👀 Not tried yet — waiting on #909 for per-file rule overrides |
| 2026-05-12 | nanoclaw (my deployment: Vasile) | Lightweight container-isolated personal AI agent framework. Connects to WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Gmail; memory, scheduled jobs, runs on Anthropic’s Agents SDK. Built from scratch, ~15 source files. | ✅ Tested, recommend |
| 2026-05-12 | Dippy (my write-up) | CLI tool that runs as a Claude Code PreToolUse hook to manage permissions. Supports wildcards at any position, guidance messages on prompt, layered global + project configs — things settings.json still can’t do natively. | ✅ Tested, recommend |
| 2026-05-12 | RTK (my write-up) | Rust CLI proxy that sits between Claude Code and shell commands, filtering noisy tool output (passing tests, ANSI escapes, repeated log lines) before it reaches the context window. | 🟡 Tried, hit some issues, might revisit |
| 2026-05-12 | ccxray | Transparent HTTP proxy + dashboard that gives “X-ray vision” into Claude Code sessions — inspect every request/response, tool call, and token spend in real time. | 🟡 Interesting, couldn’t find a use case |
