rextail-ai/lessloc
Keeps Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, Gemini CLI and Cursor writing the least code that still works.

migasrias2/geckobox
Run Claude Code, Codex or any coding agent on any of your machines, with jobs across all of them at once.

hassan-algo/open-sesame
A web-pentest skill that maps attack surface, works through the OWASP testing guide and writes reports.
Why it matters: Timely in PHP2Shell week. Only point it at sites you are authorised to test.

Why it matters: An early sign of defensive skills aimed at other people's agents rather than your own.
helloianneo/ian-xhs-carousel
A Claude Code skill that lays out articles and notes as 3:4 Xiaohongshu image carousels from 20 templates.
