About claude-code-tools
pchalasani/claude-code-tools
Practical productivity tools for Claude Code, Codex-CLI, and similar CLI coding agents.
Provides modular tools including semantic search (`aichat-search`), terminal automation via tmux integration, secrets management (vault), and Claude Code plugins that add safety hooks and voice capabilities. Distributed as both Python packages (via `uv`) and Rust binaries, with optional integrations for Google Docs/Sheets and alternative LLM providers. Designed as extensible hooks and skills that Claude agents can invoke to safely execute multi-step workflows with environment isolation and session recovery.
About claude-forge
sangrokjung/claude-forge
Supercharge Claude Code with 11 AI agents, 36 commands & 15 skills — the claude-code plugin framework inspired by oh-my-zsh. 6-layer security hooks included. 5-min install.
Organizes Claude Code through a modular plugin architecture with 11 specialized agents (planner, architect, code-reviewer, security-reviewer, etc.) that operate across 40 slash commands and 15 skill workflows, plus 9 rule files defining development principles like "surgical changes" and evidence-based verification. Implements persistent agent memory (`~/.claude/agent-memory/`) to capture learnings between sessions, and provides chained workflow templates (plan → TDD → code-review → handoff-verify → PR) that enforce quality gates rather than linear CLI usage. Installs via symlinks to `~/.claude/` for seamless updates and integrates directly with Claude Code's native plugin marketplace.
