Start Here

• Learn Claude Code (⭐73k) by shareAI-lab - A really interesting analysis of how coding agents like Claude Code are designed. It attempts to break an agent down into its fundamental parts and reconstruct it with minimal code. Great learning resource. Final product is a rudimentary agent with skills, sub-agents, and a todo-list in roughly a few hundred lines of Python.\       

Research & Scientific Inquiry / Obsidian

• My Claude Code Setup (⭐1.4k) by Pedro H. C. Sant'Anna - A ready-to-fork Claude Code template for academics using LaTeX/Beamer + R. Multi-agent review, quality gates, adversarial QA, and replication protocols. Great use of orchestration patterns and great documentation.\       

Design & UI/UX / Obsidian

Built with Bash, integrated with tmux for live monitoring, and includes 75+ comprehensive tests.\       

Skills / Obsidian

• Caveman (⭐94k) by Julius Brussee - A plugin that conserves message tokens by communicating in fragmented "caveman speak" - sort of a clever form of compression. Now accompanied by a whole caveman ecosystem including a memory system, caveman spec kit, and a caveman agent.\       

• Claude Code Infrastructure Showcase (⭐10k) by diet103 - A remarkably innovative approach to working with Skills, the centerpiece of which being a technique that leverages hooks to ensure that Claude intelligently selects and activates the appropriate Skill given the current context. Well-documented and adaptable to different projects and workflows.\       

• Superpowers (⭐263k) by Jesse Vincent - A strong bundle of core competencies for software engineering, with good coverage of a large portion of the SDLC - from planning, reviewing, testing, debugging... Well written, well organized, and adaptable. The author refers to them as "superpowers", but many of them are just consolidating engineering best practices - which sometimes does feel like a superpower when working with Claude Code.\       

Jul 21, 2026

Creative Media / Obsidian

• claude-replay (⭐758) by es617 - An outstanding, creative library that converts Claude Code session transcripts into self-contained, embeddable HTML replays - interactive playback with speed control, a local editor, collapsible tool-call and thinking blocks, redaction for private information - the output is fantastic. Also supports other providers.\       

Jul 20, 2026

Documentation, Knowledge & Learning / Obsidian

• claude-obsidian (⭐9.6k) by Agrici Daniel - Self-organizing AI second brain for Obsidian + Claude Code. Claude reads any source, links it, and files it into one connected knowledge graph of plain Markdown. Based on Karpathy's LLM Wiki pattern.\       

Observability & Monitoring / Session Monitors

• c9watch (⭐109) by minchenlee - A macOS menu-bar app (and companion JSON CLI, built from one Rust/Tauri binary) that auto-discovers running Claude Code sessions by scanning OS processes and shows live working / needs-attention / idle status, plus session-history search, cost tracking, and PM-style worker orchestration. Rust + Tauri 2 + Svelte 5, with a token-gated mobile web client.\       

• cctop (⭐126) by Stefan Prodan - A live top-style terminal TUI that lists every running Claude Code session with process stats, busy/idle state, context size, model, and git branch, plus a live sub-agent and sub-process tree with open and orphaned ports — reading only the local process table and ~/.claude session and transcript files. Zero-dependency Bun; can signal a runaway session or free orphaned dev-server ports in place.\       

• Claude Status (⭐53) by Gavin M. Roy - A native macOS menu-bar app with desktop widgets showing the live state of every running Claude Code session — active, waiting-for-input, compacting, or idle — across many terminals and IDEs, with one-click focus to any session's exact window, tab, or pane. SwiftUI + AppKit + WidgetKit, driven by a bundled hook plugin with process-tree and JSONL-tail fallbacks.\       

• claude-control (⭐126) by Sverrir Sigurdsson - A native macOS Electron dashboard that auto-discovers running Claude Code CLI sessions and shows live per-session status, git changes, PR checks, and conversation previews across repos and worktrees — and can focus, send input to, approve or reject, kill, or spawn sessions from one place. Electron + Next.js + TypeScript, local-only, via an auto-installed status hook with process-table and JSONL-mtime fallbacks.\       

• claude-status-bar (⭐581) by mick - A tiny, hook-driven macOS menu-bar indicator of Claude Code's live turn status — an animated icon while thinking or running a tool, a dot when awaiting permission, and an elapsed-turn timer — aggregated across concurrent CLI, Claude Desktop, and Cursor sessions. Stateless AppKit/Swift app that self-launches on session start and quits when idle.\       

• so-agentbar (⭐13) by sotthang - A native macOS menu-bar app that watches Claude Code and OpenAI Codex CLI session logs in real time and shows each running session's live status, tokens, and cost, with subagent grouping and an optional animated pixel-art view. Swift/SwiftUI + SpriteKit, using FSEvents with incremental JSONL parsing plus multi-provider quota tracking.\       

Observability & Monitoring / Usage & Cost

• ccusage (⭐18k) by ryoppippi - A zero-install CLI (npx ccusage) that analyzes Claude Code token usage and cost from local JSONL logs — daily, monthly, per-session, and 5-hour-block breakdowns, a live monitoring mode, and per-model cost estimates. Runs entirely locally, with JSON output for scripting.\       

• ClaudeBar (⭐1.3k) by tddworks - A macOS menu-bar app that surfaces remaining usage quota for Claude, Codex, Gemini, Copilot, and other AI coding providers at a glance, with burn-rate, dollar-balance, and reset-countdown indicators plus a lightweight live-session indicator. Swift 6 with a layered Domain/Infrastructure architecture.\       

Jul 15, 2026

Creative Media / Obsidian

• Vox director skill (⭐148) by Alisa Qian - Vox Director is an open-source skill that turns a one-line topic into a finished Vox-style paper-collage explainer or ad video. It automates the full pipeline — script, collage keyframes, motion, voice-over, music, and captions — on the Atlas Cloud API plus local ffmpeg, with two human approval gates for the beat map and visual style.\       

Jul 13, 2026

Alternative Clients / Obsidian

• Claude Overlay (⭐81) by shengyanlin - A frameless, always-on-top floating chat window for Claude Code on Windows. It captures every monitor and lets Claude read the screen to answer questions in context, and drives the user's existing claude CLI login through the Agent SDK, with image paste, model switching, live streaming, and a context-usage statusline.\       

Jul 06, 2026

Skills / Obsidian

• fable-mode (⭐802) by mrtooher - A Claude skill that activates Fable-style agentic behavior: explicit multi-stage planning, sub-agent delegation, and self-verification.\       

Observability & Monitoring / Session Monitors

• Claude Code Agent Monitor (⭐855) by hoangsonww - A self-hosted real-time dashboard that monitors Claude Code agent activity via its native hooks — live sessions, subagent orchestration trees, tool-call timelines, and per-session status — keeping data local (loopback-only). Built on Node/Express + React + SQLite, with a companion MCP server, VS Code extension, and desktop app.\       

Observability & Monitoring / Observability

• agents-observe (⭐629) by Joe Johnston - A real-time Claude Code observability dashboard installed as a plugin: it registers hooks across the full session lifecycle (tool calls, subagent start/stop, task and permission events) and streams them to a local React UI backed by a Dockerized SQLite server, with filtering, parent/subagent hierarchy, full session replay, and per-model token stats.\       

• Claude Code Observability Stack (⭐481) by Cole Murray - A Dockerized OpenTelemetry-to-Grafana observability stack for Claude Code that implements Anthropic's observability guidance, surfacing session activity, performance, token usage, and cost in prebuilt dashboards.\       

• Multi-Agent Observability (⭐1.5k) by disler - A real-time dashboard that captures Claude Code hook events across concurrent agents — tracing every tool call, task handoff, and lifecycle event through a Bun/SQLite/WebSocket/Vue stack, with session tracking and live filtering.\       

Jul 03, 2026

Start Here

• andrej-karpathy-skills (⭐194k) by multica-ai - A drop-in CLAUDE.md distilling four behavioral guidelines for LLM-assisted coding into Claude Code — a low-friction quick win. Karpathy-inspired, derived from Andrej Karpathy's public notes on LLM coding pitfalls and authored by multica-ai.\       

• Claude Code Guide (⭐4.4k) by zebbern - A current single-page reference for Claude Code: install, environment variables, slash commands, MCP, hooks, and subagents, kept in sync with the official changelog.\       

• Claude Code Hooks: Complete Guide by Hidekazu Konishi - A thorough walkthrough of every hook event, when each fires, the two return channels, common anti-patterns, and copy-ready settings.json examples.

• Claude Code: Everything You Need to Know (⭐2.3k) by wesammustafa - A conceptual, mental-models-first primer that explains what Claude Code is and how its agentic loop works, then layers setup, prompt-engineering workflows, skills, hooks, MCP, subagents, and agent teams, with an experience-tiered path for newcomers.\       

• claude-howto (⭐41k) by luongnv89 - A structured, chapter-based getting-started guide for Claude Code with a self-assessment quiz and a ten-module progressive learning path — slash commands, memory, skills, subagents, MCP, hooks, plugins, and checkpoints — with visual diagrams and copy-paste templates.\       

• explore-claude-code (⭐248) by Luke Renton - An interactive click-through of an annotated Claude Code project where every file and folder — CLAUDE.md, settings.json, rules, commands, skills, agents, hooks, plugins, and .mcp.json — is a real, explained concept, teaching the tool's surface area by orientation rather than prose.\       

• Writing a Good CLAUDE.md by HumanLayer - An essay on CLAUDE.md craft: instruction-budget reasoning, progressive disclosure, and the test of whether Claude would err without a given line.

From Anthropic

• Agent Skills (⭐163k) by Anthropic - Anthropic's official repository for Agent Skills — the SKILL.md format, a skill template, and example skills, the same format Claude Code loads natively.\       

• Building Effective Agents by Anthropic - Anthropic's foundational taxonomy of agent patterns — prompt chaining, routing, orchestrator-workers, and evaluator-optimizer — and when to use each.

• Claude Code Best Practices by Anthropic - Anthropic's canonical guide to working effectively with Claude Code: the agentic-loop mental model, CLAUDE.md guidance, and workflow patterns.

• Claude Code Cheatsheet by Anthropic - Anthropic's official Claude Code cheatsheet — a quick reference for the core vocabulary (session, context window, CLAUDE.md), built-in slash commands, and keyboard shortcuts.

• Claude Code GitHub Action (⭐8.5k) by Anthropic - The official GitHub Action for running Claude Code in CI: mention @claude in issues and pull requests to delegate code changes, reviews, and fixes.\       

• Claude Code Security Review (⭐5.7k) by Anthropic - An official AI-powered security-review GitHub Action that uses Claude to analyze pull-request diffs for vulnerabilities.\

Documentation, Knowledge & Learning

• Bloom (⭐202) by Li-Evan - A self-contained Claude Code skill that turns Benjamin Bloom's "2-sigma" tutoring research into a personal AI tutor: it generates a structured syllabus, teaches one lesson at a time, and adapts each next lesson to the learner's annotations and feedback. The skill is dependency-free and makes no network calls beyond the configured LLM endpoint (an optional web app is also included).\       

• cc-thinking-skills (⭐720) by tjboudreaux - A collection of installable thinking-framework skills with a meta-router, notable for publishing a replication-gated evaluation instead of unsupported quality claims.\       

• claude-code-android (⭐146) by ferrumclaudepilgrim - A thorough, device-tested guide and toolkit for running Claude Code natively on Android via three paths (Termux, proot-Ubuntu, and the Android Virtualization Framework), with a verification harness and per-device results. Unusually security-aware for a setup guide — it ships a threat model, an SSRF-guard WebFetch hook, a biometric approval gate, and a permission matrix.\       

• cxpak (⭐17) by Barnett Studios - A code-intelligence Claude Code plugin and MCP server (Rust, single binary, 43 languages) that builds a typed dependency graph and packs token-budgeted, annotated context bundles for any task. Exceptionally engineered and security-forward — 2,400+ tests, recorded ADRs, a sandboxed WASM plugin SDK, and cosign-signed, SBOM-attested release images.\       

• Dive into Claude Code (⭐2k) by VILA-Lab - A research-lab systematic analysis of the Claude Code codebase whose headline finding — overwhelmingly infrastructure rather than model — reframes Claude Code as a harness.\       

• MDXG Redline (⭐9) by oubakiou - A Claude Code skill plus single-file HTML tool that closes the human-review loop on AI-written docs: a person leaves inline comments in the browser, which export as structured JSON keyed by heading path and line, and the skill polls for that file and applies each comment to the exact lines. Strongly privacy-respecting — the local/CLI build enforces a strict CSP (connect-src 'none'), so document text and comments never leave the machine.\       

• NotebookLM MCP (⭐124) by Romain Peyrichou - A mature MCP server (plus a 33-endpoint REST API) that drives Google NotebookLM for citation-backed Q&A and full Studio generation (audio, video, infographics, reports), with multi-account TOTP re-auth. Notably well-maintained and security-attentive — batch-tested on overnight 1,000-question runs, with a documented changelog that includes patching a transitive XSS advisory.\       

• RAG Learning Academy (⭐9) by Taka Goto - A multi-agent Claude Code learning environment for mastering Retrieval-Augmented Generation, with 20 specialist agents, 22 slash commands, and a 9-module hands-on curriculum that runs zero-config inside Claude Code. Quality is evident — 616 tests, CI, and weekly/monthly content-freshness automation that opens issues for stale material.\       

• showreel (⭐5) by HeyRenan - A Claude Code plugin that turns CSS selectors + text into finished visual documentation — annotated screenshots, flow GIFs/MP4s, terminal recordings, and before/after composites — placing every annotation deterministically and pixel-verifying each artifact (PASS/FAIL) before it is saved. Self-contained (bundles its own headless Chromium, no browser MCP, no telemetry); every image in its README is generated by the tool itself.\       

Documentation, Knowledge & Learning / Obsidian

• agentcairn (⭐24) by ccf - Long-term, cross-project memory for AI coding agents. Your own Obsidian vault as the source of truth. Daemonless and without opaque databases, your memory belongs to you.\       

• Bedrock (⭐81) by Iury Krieger - A Claude Code plugin that turns an Obsidian vault into a structured second brain via 8 skills, building an entity-typed (actors/people/teams/topics…) Zettelkasten graph with bidirectional wikilinks and ingesting Confluence, Google Docs, GitHub, and docling-supported files. Operates only on local markdown, with conscientious, opt-out error reporting that explicitly never transmits vault content or paths.\       

• Librarian (⭐20) by ngmeyer - A standalone MCP server that gives Claude a markdown second-brain over any Obsidian vault or folder of .md files, with trigram search, auto-wikilinks on write, and real graph analytics (Louvain communities, PageRank, shortest-path, D3 visualization). Runs entirely locally with no network calls or telemetry, productionizing the "LLM wiki" pattern.\       

Research & Scientific Inquiry / Obsidian

• AI Research Skills (⭐163) by Wenyu Chiou - A catalog of 15 Claude Code skills mapped to 8 research-workflow stages (literature → gap analysis → design → drafting → reviewer response), where each stage emits an explicit YAML/Markdown deliverable the next stage consumes. Thoughtfully designed around anti-hallucination — schemas force "gap" status on unsupported claims, and downstream skills refuse malformed, overconfident handoffs.\       

Providers, Runtime & Integration Infrastructure / Obsidian

• chrome-cdp-ex (⭐8) by Endeavor Yen - A zero-dependency Claude Code skill (68 commands) that connects to your real Chrome — logged-in tabs, cookies, live page state — to give the agent a perception layer: layout, visible styles, per-action "what changed" evidence, CSS-cascade-to-source tracing, and session replay/Playwright export. Notably rigorous about its own claims, with a dogfood benchmark gate that blocks performance/adoption assertions unless it passes.\       

• claude-code-wsl2-setup (⭐44) by congmnguyen - A focused collection of documented scripts that fix the most painful Claude Code papercuts on WSL2 + Windows Terminal — clipboard screenshot paste via a Go daemon, Windows notifications on Stop/PermissionRequest hooks, LSP wiring, a usage-aware status line, and voice-mode audio routing. Each fix is written up with root cause and exact config (including non-obvious traps like SessionEnd firing per subagent), and the work was upstreamed into Awesome-WSL.\       

• Flue (⭐56) by S.F. Kislev - A tiny bridge that lets Claude Code drive desktop software — Photoshop, Premiere, Blender, Unity, InDesign, Office, 13 apps total — by writing one-time scripts against each app's own automation runtime (COM / AppleScript / CEP), instead of MCP servers or fragile screenshot-based computer use. A genuinely novel approach that unlocks the apps' full scripting surfaces (InDesign alone exposes ~28k objects) with low maintenance.\       

• llm-router (⭐55) by Yali Pollak - A local-first router that sits under Claude Code (and Codex/Gemini CLI) and sends each prompt to the cheapest capable model, with three-layer token compression and automatic provider fallback — protecting your premium quota and cutting cost with zero config on a Claude subscription. Credibly engineered: 1,900+ tests, an independent RouterArena benchmark placement, and an honest local-only design with no hosted proxy.\       

• OpenWeb (⭐25) by openweb-org - An agent-native skill that accesses 90+ websites by calling their underlying APIs directly (typed JSON in, JSON out) instead of screenshotting and parsing the DOM, with auth auto-resolved locally from your existing browser session. Security is first-class — every operation is tagged read/write/delete/transact behind permission tiers, SSRF protection runs on each request, and there is no vendor backend or proxy in the request path.\       

• SPARDA (⭐3) by Zakaria Gharzouli (Residual Labs) - Converts a running Express or FastAPI app into an MCP server by AST-parsing its routes and injecting a marked, byte-for-byte-removable /mcp router, so the agent can operate your live application (real auth, real data) rather than just read files. Exceptionally safety-minded: writes are disabled by default behind two-phase confirmation, docstrings are sanitized against prompt injection, a circuit-breaker quarantines failing routes, nothing leaves the machine, and persistence stores structure never payloads.\       

Remote Control, Notifications & Voice I/O / Obsidian

• ai-agent-notifier (⭐18) by Amin Dhouib (Devino Solutions) - A zero-dependency, cross-platform notifier that fires a desktop toast and a free phone push (via ntfy) the moment Claude Code (or Codex/Cursor/Gemini) finishes a task or needs input, wired up by a one-command setup. The standout among notifiers is its testing rigor — CI drives the real agent CLIs end to end and asserts real ntfy round-trips and real OS toast delivery, no mocks.\       

• Claude Threads (⭐36) by Anne Schuth - Streams a locally-running Claude Code session live into a Slack or Mattermost thread so a whole team can watch, type, and approve actions together — "screen-sharing for AI pair programming, but everyone can type." Mature and well-maintained (npm-published with CI and coverage), with reaction-based tool approvals, git-worktree isolation, multi-account rotation, and per-thread sessions that survive restarts.\       

• dictate (⭐13) by Vimal Kumar - Local, offline voice-to-text for Claude Code on Linux built on faster-whisper, with a warm daemon for instant transcription, system-wide push-to-talk, a voice-enabled editor, and per-project vocabulary hints that fix technical terms ("Claude" not "cloud"). Fully private — no cloud, no API keys, with thoughtful touches like mic-health monitoring and the ability to offload transcription to a LAN GPU; hardware-tested down to a Jetson Orin.\       

• Lockpaw (⭐136) by Erik Nielsen - A native-Swift macOS menu-bar app (10 MB, no Electron) that covers and input-locks your screen with one hotkey while your agents keep running, then makes the locked screen glow when Claude Code pauses for permission or finishes. Polished and well-engineered — CI with 50 tests, signed/notarized builds, an honest "visual privacy tool, not a security boundary" disclosure, no analytics, and an idempotent hook installer that backs up and never clobbers foreign hooks.\       

• Telegram-Claude (tg-claude) (⭐27) by Imolatte - A feature-rich Telegram bot that turns your machine into a remote Claude Code terminal driven from your phone: streaming tool progress, voice input, a git panel, Mac remote control, and 30+ commands. Its standout is the approval flow — dangerous-op Approve/Deny taps are injected straight into the real terminal prompt via tmux send-keys, so you authorize from your phone without killing the session or losing context.\       

• WhatsApp Channel Plugin (⭐44) by Richie Liu - Connects WhatsApp as a native Claude Code channel via Baileys linked-device (no bot token or API keys), with bidirectional messaging, full media, voice transcription, remote tool approval, access control, and per-group personalities. Runs entirely locally and was the first community plugin officially reviewed and published on Anthropic's plugin marketplace.\       

Alternative Clients / Obsidian

• Cate (⭐1.9k) by 0-AI UG - A cross-platform desktop IDE built on an infinite zoomable canvas, where editors, terminals, browsers, and docs float in freeform space instead of tabs — and ships skills that let Claude Code spawn agent terminals on the canvas, coordinate through canvas notes, and drive browser panels. A genuinely novel UX, well-engineered (CI, e2e tests, context-isolated IPC, scoped filesystem access) and widely adopted.\       

• CloudCLI (Claude Code UI) (⭐13k) by siteboon - A web and mobile PWA for driving Claude Code (and Cursor/Codex/Gemini) from any device — file explorer, git, integrated shell, and full session management that reads and writes your real ~/.claude config rather than duplicating it. By far the most-adopted Claude Code UI, with a self-hostable open-source core, an optional Docker microVM sandbox mode, a plugin ecosystem, and tools disabled by default for safety.\       

• FlyCrys (⭐28) by Sergii Kamenskyi - A native Linux GUI for Claude Code agents built in Rust + GTK4 — single binary, no Electron, starts in under a second — with a file tree, syntax-highlighted viewer, markdown preview, embedded VTE4 terminal, streaming agent chat, workspace tabs, and tool-restricted agent profiles. Fills a real gap as essentially the only native (non-webview) Linux desktop client, using your own Claude Code CLI with no proxy.\       

• Nimbalyst (⭐1.3k) by Greg Hinkle - A visual workspace for building with Claude Code (and Codex) where you and the agent co-edit visually — markdown, mockups, mermaid, Excalidraw, CSV, and data models — approving the agent's changes as red/green WYSIWYG diffs, with session/task kanban, worktrees, an extension SDK, and a native iOS companion app. A distinctive higher-bandwidth take on agent collaboration, open source with transparent, opt-out telemetry.\       

• Sidekick for Max (⭐73) by César Andrés López - A VS Code extension and standalone terminal dashboard that adds visibility and AI conveniences on top of your Claude Max subscription — inline completions, code transforms, AI commit messages, plus deep session observability (token-burn, a 13-week quota heatmap, multi-account management, cross-session search, and asset extraction). Mature and well-maintained (CI, published to the marketplace and npm, extensive docs).\       

• Vibeyard (⭐1.3k) by Eliran Tutia - A cross-platform desktop IDE that wraps Claude Code sessions with a swarm mode (parallel agents in a grid), a real-time session inspector (cost, tokens, tool-usage, context), multiple isolated Claude profiles, a kanban board, and encrypted P2P session sharing over WebRTC. Signed/notarized, broadly adopted, and built squarely for the multi-agent, multi-session workflow.\       

Status Lines / Obsidian

• claude-code-personalities (⭐17) by kumamaki - A delightfully different status line: 30+ kaomoji text-faces that react in real time to what Claude is doing — context-aware personas by file type, and a frustration-escalation system where mounting errors progress from ( ദ്ദി ˙ᗜ˙ ) toward a table-flip (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻. Pure Rust with sub-2ms rendering, a single binary, hook-based activity tracking, and an interactive config TUI — the standout creative pick in a sea of metrics bars.\       

• claude-statusbar (⭐322) by leeguooooo - The most complete Claude Code status line: 5-hour and 7-day rate-limit usage with reset countdowns and learned end-of-window projections, context window, prompt-cache-expiry countdown, per-session cost, plus live todo/tool/git activity — across 3 styles and 9 themes, configurable by CLI or natural-language skill. Genuinely well-engineered (PyPI, 320+ tests, a sub-1%-CPU daemon, deep docs) and the clear standout of a very crowded field.\       

• claudinho (⭐24) by Arturo Garrido - 2026 World Cup live scores in your terminal, Claude Code statusline & MCP. No API keys.\       

Design & UI/UX / Obsidian

• Dev Browser (⭐6.5k) by Sawyer Hood - A browser-automation plugin/skill that lets Claude Code drive a browser to test and verify its own work — full Playwright API plus pixel- and DOM-level computer-use toolsets, connecting to your running Chrome or a fresh Chromium. Notably secure and fast: scripts execute inside a QuickJS WASM sandbox with no host filesystem or network access, and a published benchmark shows it beating Playwright MCP on time, cost, and turns.\       

• Snip (⭐238) by rixinhahaha - A visual whiteboard between you and your agent: Claude renders diagrams, HTML, or UI components through Snip instead of describing them in text, you approve or annotate directly on the output (circle, arrow, note), and the agent gets structured feedback and iterates. Works via CLI or MCP, doubles as a full local screenshot/annotation app with on-device AI organization (Ollama), and adds a genuine human-in-the-loop visual review step to Claude Code.\       

• StyleSeed (⭐804) by kiwiman - A design engine that takes a different tack from "feed the model more tokens": it teaches design judgment — ~74 rules pros carry but never write down ("the refined black isn't #000, it's #2A2A2A"; "one accent color, everything else grayscale") — as plain markdown the agent reads automatically, plus a brand-agnostic skin system, a named motion vocabulary, and /ss-* review skills. Widely adopted and demonstrably effective (a live demo morphs one UI across Toss/Raycast/Arc via a single attribute).\       

• UI Craft (⭐197) by Eduardo Calvo - A deep design-engineering skill that makes agents "design like they have taste" by default, layered so you can just install it, drive it with 22 single-lens commands, or wire its deterministic MCP gates and CLI into CI. Its signature is a scoreable, defensible critique — Nielsen's heuristics × classic design laws × persona walkthroughs, every finding tagged by business impact — backed by anti-slop rules, outcome recipes, accessibility-first review, and 31 domain references.\       

Writing & Prose Quality / Obsidian

• Avoid AI Writing (⭐2.5k) by Conor Bronsdon - A portable writing skill that audits and rewrites prose to remove "AI-isms" — 49+ pattern categories and a tiered word-replacement vocabulary, with detect / rewrite / edit-in-place modes, content-type and voice profiles, and a two-pass re-check. Stands well above the crowded de-slop field: it ships a deterministic, zero-dependency detector engine (the single source of its 0–100 score) with CI tests, and frames itself honestly as a writing-quality tool, not a detector-evasion gimmick.\       

• naming (⭐61) by GlacierPhonk - A Claude Code skill for naming products, SaaS tools, brands, and projects via a structured metaphor-driven process — naming brief, metaphor exploration, candidate generation, anti-slop filtering, a weighted evaluation rubric, and availability checks for domains/handles/package names. A genuinely different (and creative) take that produces names grounded in meaning instead of the random tech-syllable mush an unguided model reaches for.\       

Creative Media / Obsidian

• capcut-cli (⭐191) by René Zander - A zero-dependency Node CLI (and Claude Code plugin/skill) that lets the agent edit CapCut / JianYing video projects programmatically — inspect timelines, build drafts, add text/audio, word-level captions and Whisper transcription, templates, and cut long-form into shorts — JSON in, JSON out, no server. Deeply mature for a media tool: 205 tests across macOS/Windows/Linux CI, a huge documented command surface, and a deliberately stateless "the CLI is the protocol" design.\       

• motion-skills (⭐288) by iart.ai - An open-source collection of ~50 motion-graphics, animation, and video skills across 14 installable packs — kinetic typography, data-driven charts, explainers, TikTok/Reels, web/WebGL animation, and Manim math animation — that teach an agent how a professional would build each piece. Every visual skill ships a deliver-and-verify loop (render a frame → screenshot → check) plus a small verify toolkit, so the agent inspects its own output instead of guessing at timing and framing.\       

Infrastructure & DevOps / Obsidian

• otelcol-doctor (⭐6) by s3onghyun - A focused, vendor-neutral skill that writes, fixes, and validates OpenTelemetry Collector configs — encoding the Collector's real footguns (memory_limiter/batch ordering, core-vs-contrib components, pull-vs-push exporters, deprecated exporters, pipelines that validate but were never wired) as an authoring workflow and diagnosis checklist. Its standout is honesty plus a verification loop: it always finishes by running otelcol validate and ships CI-checked before/after example configs rather than handing back an unverified file.\       

• terraform-skill (⭐2.2k) by Anton Babenko - A best-practices skill that teaches the agent to write safer Terraform and OpenTofu through a diagnose-first workflow, failure-mode routing, LLM-mistake checklists, and a feature-version guard table mapping features to their version floor and common errors — covering testing, modules, remote state, CI/CD, and security scanning across AWS/Azure/GCP. From an AWS Hero behind the terraform-aws-modules ecosystem, and the most authoritative, most-adopted IaC resource in the set.\
