Found some Open Source Claude skills from last 15 days. Some of them are pretty decent to use, personally liked the npm downloads one. Check out: **- brand-alchemy:** A brand strategy and naming skill that interrogates your thoughts for branding first, then applies phonosemantics, category design frameworks, and auto-checks domain availability across any TLD. **- npm-downloads-to-leads:** Give it a list of npm packages. It pulls 12 weeks of download data, scores each one by growth velocity, maps maintainers to GitHub and X, and gives you a ranked lead brief who built it, how to reach the...

I usually have two or more Claude Code sessions open at once. One in the backend repo, one in the frontend. Half the time I'd be in the frontend asking "wait, what shape did the user object end up as?", then alt-tab, ask the backend session, copy the answer, alt-tab back, paste. The other Claude was right there. It already knew. I was the bottleneck. So I wrote a plugin called Relay. In the frontend window I just say: ▎ask the backend session what the user object looks like The backend session sees the question between turns, answers it, and the reply pops up in my frontend session as a n...

I looked at what was actually eating my Claude usage and it was embarrassing. Classifying files. Reformatting json. Pulling fields out of text. Summarizing docs I was going to skim anyway. None of that needed Sonnet. All of it cost the same as the work that did. Tried the obvious fixes first. Switching to Haiku for simple stuff (still wasteful at volume). Tighter prompts (helps a little). /compact (delays the problem). None of it changed the shape of the spend. What actually worked: a small cheap model running as a side worker, with one rule in CLAUDE.md telling Claude not to do the mechani...

We really need a website to stop these models from churning out identical code. From my experience they have started writing very functional code, the generic looking aesthetic is a poor prompting problem. I found websites like https://styles.refero.design/ but is that all? I believe we can add stuff like animations and layouts that can increase user control.
