Everything I normally pin in the comments, in one place. Every tool here is free and open source, and I have run all of it on a real site before posting about it.

Spend less of your Claude limit

Opus does your subagent chores by default. Haiku does the same grunt work far cheaper. Put this in ~/.claude/settings.json:

"env": {
  "CLAUDE_CODE_SUBAGENT_MODEL": "haiku",
  "CLAUDE_CODE_SUBAGENT_MODEL_FORCE": "1"
}

Or just run /model opusplan. Worth saying: not every subagent should be on Haiku. Reach for it on the mechanical work, not the thinking.

Give Claude eyes, ears and a second opinion

  • Agent Reach — lets Claude read YouTube, Reddit, X, Instagram and LinkedIn
  • Arena — generates many answers and makes them compete. Install it, then run /arena --quick

Sound for AI video

Claude makes good motion graphics and then you hit play and hear nothing. These three fixed that for me.

  • soundfetch — finds free CC0 sound effects
  • earshot — listens to your edit and writes new sounds in code
  • HyperFrames — video as code, so every hit lands on the exact frame

Keep your site from getting owned

PHP, Node and Ruby all patched serious holes in October 2026, and the PHP and Node ones are already being exploited. Updating your plugins does not fix this — the bug is in the runtime underneath them. Official sources only:
