Porting Lauren Tan's pstack Cursor skill to Claude Code and other AI agents

This repository adapts Lauren Tan's opinionated pstack workflow, originally designed for Cursor, to support Claude Code, Codex, Pi, and other agent harnesses. It translates rigorous agent workflows using Cursor primitives to improve coding outcomes across different platforms. The tool includes named policy forks and an optional plugin for formal verification using TLA+ and Lean proofs.

  • Enables pstack's structured agent workflows on non-Cursor platforms like Claude Code and Codex.
  • Maintains upstream compatibility while supporting specific policy forks via tools/forks.json.
  • Offers an agent-formal-verify plugin for TLA+ model checking and Lean proofs.
  • Aims to keep code concise, simple, and verified through rigorous agent interactions.
  • Install via Claude Code plugin marketplace using the provided add command.

Ponytail: A prompt skill to make AI agents write minimal, efficient code

Ponytail is a GitHub repository that provides a single prompt file (SKILL.md) to configure AI coding agents to prioritize extreme code reduction. It aims to mimic a senior developer who replaces verbose implementations with concise, functional one-liners. The project claims significant reductions in code volume, cost, and execution time while maintaining safety, demonstrated in a FastAPI and React context.

  • Injects a specific prompt file to force AI agents into a minimalism mindset.
  • Claims up to 94% less code and ~20% lower cost in specific benchmarks.
  • Requires no complex setup; primarily a configuration change for existing agents.
  • Validated on mixed stacks like FastAPI and React with real feature tasks.

T3 Code: Unified Agent Control Surface for Local AI Devs

T3 Code is an open-source agent harness that provides a centralized interface for managing local AI coding agents. It supports a mobile app, web app, and Electron desktop client to control tools like Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and Grok Build. The project emphasizes performance, remote accessibility, and open-source transparency for developers.

  • Centralizes control of multiple local AI agents (Claude, Codex, Cursor) via a single interface.
  • Supports iOS, Android, Web, and Electron desktop clients for flexible access.
  • Open-source model allows forking if the project direction changes.
  • Focuses on performance and remote-ready capabilities for developer workflows.

Garry Tan shares his 23-tool Claude Code setup for solo AI engineering

Y Combinator president Garry Tan has open-sourced a configuration for Claude Code that utilizes 23 opinionated tools to simulate a full product team. The setup assigns specific roles such as CEO, Designer, and QA to AI agents, aiming to enable a single developer to ship at the pace of a twenty-person group. This repository captures the exact workflow Tan uses to leverage AI for high-velocity development.

  • Configures 23 distinct AI tools within Claude Code to automate diverse engineering roles.
  • Demonstrates a workflow where one developer outsources design, QA, and management to agents.
  • Provides a practical template for engineers wanting to replicate high-leverage AI setups.
  • Highlights the shift toward solo builders using AI to rival traditional team output.

e2e: AI agent-driven end-to-end testing with natural language goals

The e2e framework allows developers to define test goals using natural language, which an AI agent executes against web or mobile applications. It combines agent-driven action with traditional locators and assertions to verify outcomes. A key feature is its ability to record agent actions during the first run and replay them deterministically without invoking model calls in subsequent executions.

  • Write tests in natural language instead of brittle selector chains.
  • Agent actions are recorded and replayed deterministically.
  • Reduces LLM costs by skipping model calls on replay.
  • Validates results using standard assertions and locators.
  • Supports both web and mobile application testing scenarios.

addyosmani/agent-skills encodes senior engineering workflows for AI coding agents

This repository provides production-grade skills that package senior engineer workflows, quality gates, and best practices for use by AI coding agents. It maps six development phases from idea to ship into specific slash commands, ensuring agents follow consistent patterns across the lifecycle. The skills are designed to be activated automatically to guide AI through specification, implementation, testing, and deployment.

  • Encodes senior engineer best practices into reusable skills for AI agents.
  • Maps six lifecycle phases (Spec through Ship) to specific slash commands.
  • Ensures consistent AI behavior across development, testing, and QA phases.
  • Provides a structured workflow rather than ad-hoc coding assistance.

pg_clickhouse v0.11.0 and chdb v0.1.2 tighten encoding and type validation

New releases of pg_clickhouse and the chdb extension enhance cross-database compatibility through updates to their underlying C libraries. A key change involves strict validation of character encodings on text and JSON columns, raising exceptions for invalid byte sequences. These updates reflect ongoing efforts to align PostgreSQL and ClickHouse data handling more closely.

  • pg_clickhouse v0.11.0 and chdb v0.1.2 are now available on GitHub and PGXN.
  • Text and JSON columns now raise exceptions for invalid encoding bytes.
  • Updates derive from header-only C libraries: clickhouse-c and pg-clickhouse-c.
  • Focus remains on improving cross-database compatibility between PostgreSQL and ClickHouse.
