Understudy: local Ollama drafts answers before Claude, saving API costs
Understudy is a single-file hook that intercepts prompts to Claude Code and routes routine tasks (summarization, classification, JSON conversion, etc.) to a local Ollama model for a draft. The draft is injected as context with instructions for Claude to verify and deliver if correct, or discard and redo if not. It saves API costs by offloading grunt work to a free local model while keeping Claude as the quality gate.

Upload project folder to get optimized markdown for LLM context
A web tool that lets users upload an entire project folder and receive a single, clean, optimized markdown file ready to paste into Claude or Codex. It solves the problem of manually preparing context for LLMs by automatically consolidating and formatting code files. All processing is done client-side for privacy.
ContextOps: open-source tool to audit and optimize LLM prompt context
ContextOps is an open-source tool that analyzes LLM prompts to detect token waste such as duplicated retrieval chunks, bloated system prompts, oversized conversation history, and repeated tool outputs. It helps developers reduce costs and improve model consistency by auditing what goes into the prompt before inference.
Coder: CLI tool to delegate coding tasks to background LLM agents
Coder is a CLI/plugin that lets developers dispatch coding tasks to background agents powered by Claude CLI or Codex CLI. It keeps the main session context clean and distributes workload across existing subscriptions. Built entirely with Claude Code, it is free and open source.
Local-first CLI that masks PII and secrets before sending to LLMs
LocalMask is a command-line tool that runs locally to detect and mask personally identifiable information (PII) and secrets before data is sent to large language models. It solves the privacy and compliance problem for developers and organizations that need to use LLMs without exposing sensitive data.
Chameleon shows Claude a real file from your repo before it edits
Chameleon is a tool that provides Claude with the actual content of a file from your repository before it makes edits. It solves the problem of Claude editing files without full context, helping developers get more accurate code modifications.
