  1. copilot-api

    Turn GitHub Copilot into OpenAI/Anthropic API compatible server. Usable with Claude Code!

    I'm a long-time GitHub Copilot subscriber, but I have also tested many alternatives, such as Cursor.

    Recently, I tried using Claude Code with my GitHub Copilot subscription (via unofficial support through https://github.com/ericc-ch/copilot-api), and I found it to be quite good. However, in my opinion, the main difference comes down to your preferred workflow. As someone who works with Neovim, I find that a tool that works in the terminal is more appropriate for me.

  3. opencode

    Discontinued The open source coding agent. [Moved to: https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode] (by sst)

    There's also opencode which is a fork(?) of Claude Code that runs on any model: https://github.com/sst/opencode

    And of course, not the same, but Aider still exists and is still a great tool for AI dev.

    It's interesting how everyone is suddenly OK with vendor lock-in, quite a change from years past!

  4. tdd-guard

    Automated TDD enforcement for Claude Code

  5. hn-comment-ranker

    Why isn't anyone talking about the HackerNews Comment Ranker plugin? [1] That's amazing. I had this idea too -- to rank HN comments by their relevance to the actual article, and filter out comments that obviously didn't read it.

    Repo: https://github.com/sixhobbits/hn-comment-ranker

    I need to modify this to work with local models instead, since I don't like using cloud models, but I'm not used to working with agents yet. Probably especially since I'm only using models that fit on my GPU.

    [1] Oh. I think I understand why. /lh

  6. claude-code-security-review

    An AI-powered security review GitHub Action using Claude to analyze code changes for security vulnerabilities.

    Author (who also replied to you) might have been "doing it wrong" but no wonder, Anthropic only made Claude Code smarter about this 5 days ago and there's too much to keep up with:

    https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code-security-review

    The new command is something like /security-review and should be in the loop before any PR or commit especially for this type of web-facing app, which Claude Code makes easy.

    This prompt will make Claude's code generally beat not just intern code, but probably most devs' code, for security mindedness:

    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/anthropics/claude-code-sec...

    The false positives judge shown here is particularly well done.

    // Beyond that, run tools such as Kusari or Snyk. It's unlikely most shops have security engineers as qualified as these focused tools are becoming.

  7. cratedocs-mcp

    Discontinued An MCP server for rust crate docs [GET https://api.github.com/repos/d6e/cratedocs-mcp: 404 - Not Found // See: https://docs.github.com/rest/repos/repos#get-a-repository]

    I've been using both on a Rust codebase and have found both work fairly well. What difficulties have you had?

    The biggest pain point I've had is that both models will try to guess the API of a crate instead of referencing the documentation. I've tried adding an MCP for this but have had mixed results.

  8. agent-sandbox

    My workflow is somewhat similar to yours. I also much love --dangerously-skip-permissions, as root! I even like to do it from multiple Claude Code instances in parallel when I have parallel ideas that can be worked out.

    Maybe my wrapper project is interesting for you? https://github.com/release-engineers/agent-sandbox It's to keep Claude Code containerized with a copy of the workspace and a firewall/proxy so it can only access certain sites. With my workflow I don't really risk much, and the "output" is a .patch file I can inspect before I git apply it.

  9. AppSignal

    AppSignal knows why the f*#k it crashed. Stop vibe-debugging. Every exception, every backtrace, grouped so you see patterns, not noise.

  10. claude-code-router

    One local control plane for every AI agent: route across models, fuse new capabilities, orchestrate tools, and stay fully in control.
