Show HN: Linting 216 public Claude Code skills – 69% won't reliably trigger

https://skillcrossroads.com

I built a linter for Claude Code artifacts (skills, subagents, slash commands, .mcp.json configs, and plugins) and then pointed it at a pile of public repos to see what people actually ship. A few of the numbers surprised me enough that I wrote them up.The one that stuck: across 87 public subagents, 57% (50 of 87) declare no `tools` list at all. That reads like a safe default, but it's the...

great--let me know how it goes and if you have any suggested improvements.
Hi HN! I built this after watching AI assistants confidently ship mocked data, break working contracts, and create the illusion of progress for hours.

The core insight: AI sessions fail not from bad models, but from missing structure. The DRS (Deployability Rating Score) gives you a single number (0-100) that answers "can I actually ship this?"

Key components:

* Contract freezing (no silent interface changes)

* Mock expiration (30-minute max)

* Scope limits (5 files, 200 LOC)

* Time-based convergence gatesIt's MIT licensed.

Curious what patterns you've seen in your AI coding sessions.

Show HN: Claude Code recipes for knowledge workers

https://github.com/sgharlow/claude-code-recipes

I've been using Claude Code daily for about 6 months. After building the same prompts over and over, I started documenting them as "recipes" - structured prompts with context about when to use them and what output to expect.This repo has 100 recipes covering common knowledge work tasks: - Meeting notes → action items - Status reports - Performance reviews - Proposals and presentations ...
