Open Source

Tools That Actually Help

Curated open source projects for people who want to get more out of Claude. All battle-tested, all real GitHub repos — no fluff.

Skills & Methodologyby obra (Jesse Vincent)

Superpowers for Claude Code

A complete software development methodology for coding agents. Provides 20+ battle-tested skills — TDD, debugging, brainstorming, planning — that make Claude Code reliably ship production-quality work without hand-holding.

Use cases

  • Test-driven development that actually works
  • Systematic multi-step debugging
  • Task planning + autonomous execution
  • Brainstorming before writing any code

Token Optimizationby rtk-ai

RTK — Rust Token Killer

A single Rust binary that sits between Claude Code and your shell, filtering and compressing command output before it hits your context window. Zero config — a PreToolUse hook rewrites commands transparently.

Use cases

  • 60–90% fewer tokens on git, cargo, tsc, pytest runs
  • Dramatically lower API costs on long sessions
  • Keeps context window clean for the actual problem
  • Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf

Install script (Bash)

Tool Integrationsby Anthropic / Community

MCP Servers (Model Context Protocol)

Official reference implementations for MCP — the open protocol that lets Claude securely access external tools and data. Includes ready-to-use servers for filesystem, Git, memory, web fetch, and more.

Use cases

  • Give Claude persistent memory across sessions
  • Let Claude read/write your local files safely
  • Connect Claude to any database or REST API
  • Build your own custom tool servers

GitHub Automationby Anthropic

Claude Code Action

Official Anthropic GitHub Action that wires Claude directly into your PR workflow. Mention @claude in any PR or issue comment to get code reviews, fix suggestions, or full implementations — all triggered from GitHub.

Use cases

  • Automated code review on every PR
  • Ask Claude to implement a fix directly in the PR
  • Answer architecture questions from issue threads
  • Works with Anthropic API, AWS Bedrock, or Google Vertex

Learning Resourceby Anthropic

Anthropic Cookbook

Official collection of Jupyter notebooks and copy-paste code recipes for the Claude API. Covers every major pattern from RAG and vision to prompt caching, tool use, structured outputs, and evaluations.

Use cases

  • Learn the Claude API from working examples
  • RAG with Pinecone, Chroma, or any vector store
  • Multimodal: images, PDFs, documents
  • Build evals and measure prompt quality

Browser Automationby obra (Jesse Vincent)

Superpowers Chrome

Claude Code plugin for direct Chrome browser control via the DevTools Protocol. No Selenium, no Playwright — Claude talks to your browser natively, making web automation and testing genuinely usable.

Use cases

  • UI testing driven by Claude in plain English
  • Scraping and data extraction workflows
  • Automate repetitive browser tasks via prompts
  • Works with the Superpowers skills framework
