Uses

The honest inventory: what each piece is actually for, and why there isn't more of it. I like this list short.

Hardware

Software

My Claude setup

One terminal, set up as a workshop. These are the skills, subagents, hooks and tooling I run inside Claude Code: the stuff that turns 'chat with an AI' into a system that actually ships. Where a piece has a public home, its name below links straight to it; several are built into Claude Code itself, and the ones I wrote myself go up as I open the repos. Borrow what's reusable. Credentials, private data, home-network details, and security-sensitive configuration are deliberately excluded.

Skills

Reusable capabilities I trigger by name. Some I built, some are from the community.

caveman

Compresses responses to roughly a quarter of the tokens by speaking terse (with lite / full / ultra levels) while keeping every bit of technical substance.

session-handoff

Captures a long session into a handoff doc and rolls into a fresh one before context auto-compacts, so nothing gets silently truncated.

cost-ack

Stops and makes me acknowledge cost before anything bills outside my flat plan. A guardrail against surprise spend.

save-to-spotify

Turns a script into a narrated audio episode and publishes it: TTS, chapters, cover art.

verify

Actually runs the app and observes behaviour before claiming a change works. Evidence over assertion.

loop / schedule

Run a prompt on an interval, or hand a recurring task to a scheduled agent. Automation for the automation.

Subagents

Specialized agents I delegate to, so the main thread stays focused and my context stays clean.

Explore

A fast read-only scout for 'where is X / which files touch Y'. It reads the codebase so the main thread doesn't have to burn context.

code-reviewer

Reviews fresh changes for correctness, convention and regressions.

code-simplifier

Untangles complex code while preserving behaviour.

ux-reviewer

Critiques UI, interaction and accessibility on anything user-facing.

Plan

Architects an implementation plan before a line of code is touched.

Hooks

Shell hooks that fire on events. The harness runs these, not the model, so behaviour stays consistent across every session.

SessionStart

Flips on caveman mode and restores any handoff session on resume.

UserPromptSubmit

Keeps caveman active and watches the context budget, nudging a handoff before auto-compaction hits.

PreToolUse (Bash)

A cost-guard that blocks actions which would bill outside my plan.

Plugins

Bundled extensions that add whole workflows.

superpowers ↗

A big toolkit of dev workflows: brainstorming, test-driven development, systematic debugging, parallel-agent dispatch, plan execution.

frontend-design

Generates distinctive, production-grade UI that dodges generic AI aesthetics.

context7 ↗

Pulls current library and framework docs on demand, so answers track the latest API instead of stale training data.

code-review / code-simplifier

Pull-request review and code simplification, on tap.

skill-creator / claude-md-management

Author new skills; audit and improve CLAUDE.md project memory.

LSP (typescript / pyright / swift)

Language servers wired in for real type-aware navigation and checks.

MCP servers

External tools Claude can call directly through the Model Context Protocol.

context7 ↗

Live documentation retrieval for any library or SDK.

claude-in-chrome

Drives a real Chrome tab: navigate, click, read the page, screenshot, even record GIFs of a flow.

The throughline: each surface does the one thing it's best at, and nothing more. Curious how this site is built? The write-ups are all here, and the code goes up as I open the repos. The system underneath it all is the Operator Loop.
