obsidian-skills
Agent skills for Obsidian. Teach your agent to use Obsidian CLI and open formats including Markdown, Bases, JSON Canvas.
I am not sure why this popped up today, but it's nice to see it on HN again! A brief timeline with some links to past discussions:
- 2022: The .canvas open format was created for Obsidian Canvas [0].
- 2024: Official 1.0 spec of JSON Canvas [1].
- 2024-2025 A number of apps/libraries have built up around the format for storage and import/export [2].
- 2026: Obsidian Skills [3] includes support for .canvas (along with .md and .base) to make it easy for LLMs to read/write JSON Canvas, and opens interesting visualization/interaction patterns with agents.

CLIProxyAPI
Wrap Antigravity, ChatGPT Codex, Claude Code, Grok Build as an OpenAI/Gemini/Claude/Codex compatible API service, allowing you to enjoy the free Gemini 3.1 Pro, GPT 5.5, Grok 4.3, Claude model through API
Project mention: Switching from Claude Code to Grok – Same Interface, Different Model | dev.to | 2026-07-02The switch itself was interesting because I didn’t want to lose the Claude Code interface. I like the harness. The way it works with my codebase, the commands, the flow. So I used a helper called cliproxyapi. It’s a small proxy that sits between the Claude Code client and whatever model you point it at. You run it locally, tell it to forward requests to Grok’s API instead of Anthropic’s. Then you launch Claude Code the same way you always do, but it talks to Grok under the hood.

codebase-memory-mcp
High-performance code intelligence MCP server. Indexes codebases into a persistent knowledge graph — average repo in milliseconds. 158 languages, sub-ms queries, 99% fewer tokens. Single static binary, zero dependencies.
Project mention: Stop Making Your AI Coding Agent Grep Your Whole Repo — Try codebase-memory-mcp | dev.to | 2026-06-20codebase-memory-mcp is an open-source MCP server built to fix exactly that. It indexes your codebase into a persistent knowledge graph — functions, classes, call chains, HTTP routes, cross-service links — and lets your agent ask structural questions directly instead of reading its way through the filesystem.
-
serena
A powerful MCP toolkit for coding, providing semantic retrieval and editing capabilities - the IDE for your agent
You should add Serena https://github.com/oraios/serena to your list.
Serena gives you symbol-level navigation, reading, and editing via tree-sitter. So you're already getting much of what CoderLM offers — plus Serena has editing capabilities(replace symbol body, insert before/after symbol, rename). GitNexus goes further with the graph/impact analysis layer on top.
I personally use Serena and GitNexus.
The case for using both
- GitNexus tells you what to change (impact analysis, dependency maps, blast radius) -
taste-skill
Taste-Skill - gives your AI good taste. stops the AI from generating boring, generic slop
Project mention: Taste-Skill: The Anti-Slop Framework That Gives Your AI 28.5K⭐ Worth of Taste | dev.to | 2026-05-30npx skills add https://github.com/Leonxlnx/taste-skill

Project mention: Claude can now run ML research experiments for you | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-12-05 -
I'm in a similar boat, I recently discovered Paseo (https://paseo.sh/) which has mostly surpassed my expectations. It has changed my workflows, pi interaction is via a client rather than inside screen. But...I mostly have not missed that portion.

refly
The first open-source agent skills builder. Define skills by vibe workflow, run on Claude Code, Cursor, Codex & more. Build Clawdbot 🦞· APIs for Lovable · Bots for Slack & Lark/Feishu · Skills are infrastructure, not prompts.

9router
Unlimited FREE AI coding. Connect Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Cline, Copilot, Antigravity to FREE Claude/GPT/Gemini via 40+ providers. Auto-fallback, RTK -40% tokens, never hit limits.
Project mention: 9router: route Claude Code, Cursor, or Copilot through whichever free tier you've got | dev.to | 2026-05-09I was crawling GitHub trending for AI infra projects when I came across decolua/9router. It's the most thoughtful "stretch your free tiers" project I've seen for AI coding tools — and it does a few things I hadn't seen combined before. Worth a 60-second rundown for anyone burning through Cursor/Claude/Copilot budgets faster than they'd like.
