Notes

Design Without Designing — @neethanwu's harness for shipping design as an engineer: three layers. Skills (Impeccable, Emil Kowalski's) for borrowed expertise. Agent canvases (Paper, Pencil) where your Claude/Codex does the actual design work. Inspiration tools (Variant, Mobbin, Cosmos) to train your eye. Went from zero design ability to shipping weekly in three months.

Hugging Face Papers API for hybrid semantic search over AI research. @koylanai built a skill that runs parallel searches with keyword variants, triages by relevance and recency, then fetches full paper markdown to read actual methodology sections. The insight: the gap between paper published and practitioner applies it is shrinking. Teach your agent how to think about research, not just what to search.

Riley-Coyote/polyclaude is a Claude Code plugin that spawns subagents not for task delegation but for perspective delegation — six viewpoints (user advocate, architect, skeptic, pragmatist, innovator, temporal) that form a "council" to pressure-test your ideas before execution. Claude picks the most relevant 3 based on context. Clever repurposing of the subagent mechanism for structured thinking rather than parallel work. (via @RileyRalmuto)

Channels let you push events — CI results, chat messages, webhooks — into a running Claude Code session from an MCP server. Think of it as giving Claude Code ears: it can react to external signals while you're away. Early research preview, but the pattern of ambient agent awareness is where this is all heading.

Claude Code + browser_use = you stop touching Chrome. Point Claude at a project, it opens browser, clicks around, tests things, handles the whole loop. The CLI dream realized. (via @shawn_pana)

dv — a Rust CLI for querying real-time social data from X and Reddit, powered by Bittensor's decentralized miner network. One command, live data, no middleman. Built for agents. (via @Data_SN13)

QSpace — a single developer built a Finder replacement that's faster, supports multi-pane layouts, and handles FTP/SFTP/WebDAV/OneDrive. Somehow beats Apple at their own game. (via @AaronBergman18)

@emilkowalski published a design engineering skill file for Claude Code. Drop it in your project and Claude starts outputting Emil-style polished UI — one-shot results that actually look designed. (via @davidwin94)

harlan-zw/mdream — fastest HTML to Markdown converter on GitHub. 37x faster than Turndown, optimized for LLMs with up to 2x fewer tokens. Rust port of a fast JS implementation that somehow got even faster. (via @harlan_zw)

blitzdotdev/blitz-mac — a native Mac app for Blitz, the local-first framework. Clean Swift UI for managing your Blitz projects. (via @antranapp)

MiniMax open sourced their agent skills repo — curated skills for iOS/Android dev, Office file editing, and GLSL shaders. Basically a starter kit for building capable agents.

App Store Connect CLI hit 0.45.0 with auth-free public commands. You can now inspect what's live on the App Store without credentials — useful for release QA, metadata debugging, or snooping on competitors.

Claude can now test against Xcode simulators in the cloud. Parallel sessions + parallel agents = you stop babysitting builds and let the robot click through your app.
