Most people use Claude code and get a fancy auto-complete. The people who actually ship with it, they've installed these six GitHub repos, and the difference is literally night and day. Out of the box, Claude code is a good developer. Stack these six GitHub repos on top of it, and it becomes a senior engineer with discipline, a designer that builds a swarm that runs your business while you sleep.
And by the end of this video, you'll have the exact six I run every project, what each one does, why you need it, and the one-line install command for all of them. So, stay tuned and build along with us.
So, the first one I'm going to go over, which should be the first one in my recommendation that you should install, is called Superpowers. Now, it's a complete dev methodology and it's not just a prompt pack. What it does is it comes with a variety of different things to make your Claude code better. First one is it comes with a set of skills, a set of agents, a set of hooks, which are rules, and a set of configuration files to help you along to have a better project.
Now, before Claude writes any single line of code, it forces conversation of what you're really trying to build. Then it specs it, like physically writes out the spec files. It plans take about two to five minutes each. It runs a red, green, refactor TDD in very common and easy words. It's just designing a better system for you before it actually starts building. It dispatches sub-agents to work in parallel, reviews its own code, and then finishes the branch, meaning it finishes to promote it, and then it pushes it to either GitHub or it saves it on your local file. You install one plugin, the skills auto-trigger, meaning it just automatically activates once you have them installed. Claude goes from being like a fancy auto-complete and just tells you it's done to a junior engineer that has a massive amount of discipline, and it helps you completely do this overnight. Meaning, it just gets it and it figures it out all on its own.
Now, there is a way to install it via here, but I'm going to show you a different way. So, if you open up your Claude code, so I'm going to open up a new window in my VS Studio Code, and if you don't have Claude code installed or Visual Studio code, what I want you to do is watch my previous videos on how to install all this, and you can come back and do this. So, I'm just going to open up a random folder. Really doesn't matter which folder you have. I do have a dev folder, so I am going to open up in there. So, I'm going to open up my dev folder, just leave it open in here, select that folder.
And once it's in here, what I'm going to do is I'm just going to hit control and tilde. And inside of here, all I'm going to do because I have Claude installed is type in the word Claude. Once I type in the word Claude, again, because Superpowers is very, very good and a lot of people are using it, Anthropic decided to just bring it along its marketplace and have it directly in here. So, if you type in {forward slash} plugin and you hit an enter, Superpowers will be one of these. Now, because I already have mine installed, it's not going to show up, but it will literally be the first one. And if you don't see it when you're working inside the terminal, you have to use your up and down arrow keys. Use your arrow key to go all the way up to search and literally type in Superpowers, and it will automatically come up.
Now, like I mentioned before, I already have it installed, so I'll show you what I mean. So, if I go to skills and I hit enter, I could see that I have already Superpowers right here, like brainstorming installed, and I'll go over a few of what it's included. Superpowers right in here, like dispatching parallel agents, which is massively huge. Superpowers finishing a development branch, Superpowers executing plans. So, these are all things that come with them.
Now, for anybody that really wants to get into it and read what this has, I'll include all the links to all the GitHub repos here that we're discussing. If you come in here and you go to this GitHub, it's github.com/obra/superpowers, and it literally tells you everything that's included. It's got over 177K stars, meaning people that are actually starring it to watch it, and it has different full plugins where you can put it in Codex, you can put it in Cursor, and also in Claude, like we're using now. And it comes with a series of documents, commands, scripts, skills, and even agents that will run and make the computer even better. And it all automatically will just install in your computer, and it will actually run inside of it.
Now, all I can tell you is that when you start using Claude, and now you're really brainstorming with it, and you're asking what to do, this is a great brainstorming partner because it will start to formulate the actual plan of what you need to do inside of Claude code. This is literally whenever we teach code class, this is a complete and utter plugin that we always make the students plug in because if they plug this in, then they automatically just have a super head start in operating in Claude code at one of the highest levels. So, this is definitely my number one recommended repo. I recommend you go in there and install it. Look, if you just click on the skills part just to give you an idea, look at all the cool skills it comes in. And if you want to come in here and when you want to read about what the skill is, if you literally just hit on the actual skill file or the spot document viewer or any of these, when you click on this, it tells you exactly what it does. And as you can see, look at all the great things in the great format of all of this in here. And the person created again, they thought that it was so good that Anthropic decided to include it into its marketplace. So again, our first number one pick is definitely going to be your Superpowers. Recommend you go in there and either install it through the plugin or you literally can copy the repo. This is sometimes the way you want to do it. I come over here, I grab the repo itself like the main actual get repo here. I come in here, I go to Claude code, go back to the terminal. Let me escape out of my skills real quick, and I literally would say, "Please help me install this repo." And if I just hit enter, it automatically does it. But this one in particular is super easy because you have already the skill set. All right?
Now, let's move on to number two. Number two that we have is our particular one, which is Everything Claude code. The guy who actually made this won the actual hackathon for Anthropic. It has currently 140k stars. It's been battle-tested. It's 48 specialized agents, 182 skills, 68 commands, token optimization that cuts your bill in half, memory presence that survives sessions, meaning sometimes Claude does forget. However, I will tell you that Claude has been working really heavily on memory. And if you kind of followed our previous videos, we always install a memory file with our scaffolding, but again, if you haven't and want to get into it, doing this and having this GitHub repo at your side really works. And what's great is it has CVE scanning, prompt injecting blocking, which doesn't allow for malicious code to get in, so it already comes with a little bit of extra security. Cross harness works in Claude code, code X cursor, open code, Gemini. Your system follows you across all kinds of agents depending on which way you want to go. And again, it has a marketplace where you can install it, and these are the commands that come already with it. You literally can type in /plugin install everything Claude code.
And just to give you an idea, if you come in here and you scroll down, look at all the different things this thing comes with. It comes with rules, scripts, schemas, skills, anything you name. It comes with particular plugins, MCP configurations. Long story short of it, if you come in here, there's even a small little website that will tell you everything that it comes with. It is massive. So, if you click on this English version and I come in here and just click on it, it tells you all the really cool things that it has, all the list of commands, all the list of agents, all the list of the actual skills. And it's got its own website as of now, so if you want to come and check this thing out, you totally can. And it's got it in multiple different languages. They constantly update it, but again, if you're brand new and you want to get a first kind of head start to this, all you have to do is again, you can do it one of two ways. If you want to install it by via of you can come down here and I already kind of gave you the source. You can come in here, copy this plug-in, install everything Claude code, go into your terminal window again in here. So, I'm just going to come out of here and notice that I had just a regular terminal open and again if you just want to exit out of this terminal, I'm just going to hit exit, okay, and we'll start again and I'll type in Claude and then here you are. I'll just place that in and then all I have to do is hit enter and it'll automatically install the Claude code everything kind of repo and everything will be inside your computer that allows you to do it. Again, it's pretty powerful. The guy who created it is really good and again there's so much documentation on this thing that really honestly helps you. If you're a brand new beginner, again you want to get the head start of this. Installing something like this is pretty good. Over time you won't need it the more, you know, advanced you become and there's a lot of skills that you probably will never use, but there's a lot of things in here that will definitely give you the head start when it comes to actually operating inside of Claude code.
All right, so the next one is Roof Flow. It's when one of Claude code's memory isn't enough and you want to make sure you want to run like multiple instances of Claude. Well, it's a 100 specialized agents that self-organize into swarms, meaning they'll go out and operate on their own, shared memory across all the sessions, federated comms, agents on your laptop talk securely to agents on teammates' machines without leaking data, 32 plugins covering security, testing, docs, observability, cost tracking. This is a more advanced one. Now again, it's more about when you start getting into heavy usage and you want to minimize token usage, but at the same time you want to be able to work fast and hard and more importantly you want to use a lot of agents.
Now, if you come into here and you go into agents, you will notice that there is a few agents in here that already have, you know, kind of code in the way they they do it inside of here. This is a little bit more of a complex build, but you can read all about it and literally there are several skills all in here, and as you can see, there's a lot of them in here that are included. This is one again that I would wait to to get into until you become more of a power user. And this is something you eventually graduate to. I can tell you that we have this running in a separate PC where where we're using it to run multiple instances and projects when we're working on heavier code and we're using teams. I could say that this one is a more powerful kind of overall tool that you want to again graduate into. But if you start reading into these things, some of these things are like it's swarm memory manager, it's memorizing a lot of the things, it's creating swarms. But look at all the things that are in here. Security architect, queen coordinator, agent workflow, learning memory patterns, optimization, all kinds of things in here. And Jettic jujitsu. But if you read the skill, it's pretty cool. It's like over here it tells you what it does. Multiple AI engines modifying code simultaneously, lock-free version controls, self-learning AI improves from experience. Again, I don't want to go into all the details of this thing does, but if you're looking for one maximizing your token usage while deploying agent swarms or teams of agents to work on big projects or team projects, this is something you definitely want to look into. Again, at that higher level. Definitely don't recommend starting here like we did with Superpowers and with Everything Claude code, but this is something you definitely eventually want to check out. This is very, very good. I think Claude code is going to be eventually graduating to something where it operates always like this. But until we get there, this is going to be a kind of great middle person to allow us to use that while we're doing it. So again, more in the advanced trial, the one that we're doing it for ourselves, but this is going to be an option for you later on when you're thinking about those situations like I mentioned before. But this is definitely one that you want to look into. And again, the install is just going to be the same. It is literally going to be plugin install Rooflio- whatever it is down here, and then you're going to going to to install. Again, all these commands will be inside of the description. So, please make sure you check it out, okay?
The next one, Open Design. I absolutely love this. When it comes to actually designing really great websites and having that really nice modern look and everything else, this has 13 coding agents CLIs auto detecting on your machine, 31 design skills, 72 brand grade design systems baked in linear stripe for sale, Airbnb, Telsa, Apple, Notion. Meaning, it takes the websites from these individual companies and it gives you like kind of like a template and basically make a magazine pitch deck for a seed round. It picks the direction, builds a reel on this project, runs five-dimensional self-critiquing, and it ships the actual artifacts so you can physically see it when you're designing in Claude Code. Local first, then it's basically wherever you want to install it and it's got a patchy 2.0, which is again the system that we used to kind of make websites and everything else.
Now, this one I got to say, I've included it into my design agents and skills and I do this one right off the bat. This is definitely something that you would want to install right at the beginning. It can work really in hand with your front-end designer and just enhance it, but I got to be honest, this is one of my favorite ones and we are using it pretty consistently in the way that we do it. And you come in here, again, you can have a look at the repo and everything else, but I can assure you that it does design in incredibly great way and it does everything from apps to artifacts, to guides, to PDFs. It just gives it that really natural look and Claude Design, it's so funny, Anthropic's Claude Design showed what happens when LLM stops writing prose and starts shipping design artifacts and went viral. Open Design is an open source alternative, meaning you can run it in Claude Code and in other situations and it just stands out. Honestly, if you just install this and you can go out there and you can try it in. While you're getting used to Claude design, and Claude design is a little bit of a beast. It does use a lot of tokens. This one in particular works out pretty well, and again, you can check out the GitHub repo, and I can show you that this is an open-source alternative to Claude design. And if you're working off your subscription model, it doesn't blow through as many credits, at least in our experience. So, it's something you definitely want to check. It's got 19K stars, and it's got It's been forked, which means other people are using it, but I honestly recommend this is definitely one you want to check out, especially if you're designing websites, artifacts of any sorts like PDFs. It you'll just be incredibly happy with some of the things you see here.
Again, this one super easy install, just like all the other ones. You're going to come in here, and again, you're just going to grab the Git clone. This one is going to be installed a little bit differently. And the way that you do it is still from your terminal, right? What we're going to do is let's just come out of our terminal altogether. There we go. And if we come out of our terminal right in here, let's just make the screen a little bit bigger here, and let's get out of this. So, what I'm going to do is I'm going to exit again, because this time what we want to do is we want to be inside of our terminal. This is going to be our terminal. I'm just going to type in the word clear so we have an empty one, and then I'm going to paste in Git clone, and I'm going to go ahead and install this in whatever file I want. Now, notice, remember, I opened up my folder, and I'm in my dev folder. My dev folder for me personally is my project folder where I'm installing all my projects that I'm working inside of my Claude code environment, right? So, it could be any folder on your computer where you're going to keep building different projects. I will shove this into my projects, because I want this to be available for all my projects, and I'm going to install it globally when I do, because these are going to be a set of skills, and so forth, and so on. But, I would hit enter directly in here. When I hit enter, it's going to automatically do, and then it's going to install the particular file and get that going for you. There's also, if again, you want to be super lazy, which sometimes I am, I will literally type in Claude, come in here, hit enter, and then once I do this, I literally just come in here, grab the GitHub repo, right? Directly from the ones that we're going to give you here, which is github.com {forward slash} nexu-io {forward slash} open-design. Copy this whole thing and just go back to my terminal where I had it, and I just politely ask, "Can you please help me install this GitHub repo?" And give access to all the skills to every single project that I have inside my dev folder. All right? And I would just paste the GitHub repo, hit enter, rock and roll, and then I have this GitHub repo installed. All right?
Now, I'm going to move on, and on the next one, and this starts getting more into like second brain and being able to just have a bit more memory, right? So, number five is Obsidian skills. So, it's your second brain finally can talk to your AI in a very good way and where it doesn't get confused. Built by Compano, a design lead at Obsidian, native skills for Obsidian flavored with markdown like wiki links, embeds, call outs, properties, bases, views, filters, formulas, JSON Canvas, the Obsidian CLI, defunnel for stripping web clutter and saving tokens. If you live in Obsidian for notes, which I do, research, or PKM, this is the bridge, meaning it just connects it really well and it's able to just talk to it. So, you don't have to stop copying and paste notes between your AI. You wire them basically all together.
And again, this is a very easy skill that they have also allowed for a plugin install, so you would install the plugin. Once you install the plugin, this will automatically be in there. If you want to read about it, it tells you a little bit about it here, but this is for people that are using Obsidian and second brain. This becomes the immediate connector, and it's probably one of my favorites to connect just again because it is a GitHub repo of somebody who's incredibly smart. It's got 28 stars, so it's obviously reasonable to download. You can also go in here and look at all the skills it comes with. It comes with these skills to help you operate better inside of Obsidian and connecting the two like I mentioned. This will connect to all your Obsidian vaults and your note taking and all that. Organize it, work within with the AI and the AI can now access that second brain which will allow you to just operate better if you're using things like agents or building things like websites and it has to be about you. If you have brand files there, the connections this becomes a whole lot easier for you to do so. Very easy to install, only for Obsidian users. If you're not using Obsidian, go back and check out my second brain video. Guarantee it's definitely a powerhouse combo that you definitely want to use. All right?
And keeping in the same line, going with the next one that I recommend which is Karpathy skills. Now, Andrej Karpathy posted a list of everything wrong on how LLMs write code. Wrong assumptions, hidden confusion, overcomplication, drive-by refactoring meaning keep changing things. Far as Chung turned the fix into a single Claude MD file. Four principles, think before you code, build the simplest thing, make surgical changes, don't improve what wasn't asked which happens to be a big problem for AI. Define success criteria so agent loops until it actually works. Free one file, no reason not to install it today and it kind of just helps you. So, if you kind of go in here and you go to this Karpathy inspired Claude code guidelines, it's got 109 downloads and all you got to do is in plug it and it's basically it just gives models to what the rules are and the guidelines for your skill MD files and everything that you have. So, these is just basic rules and ideas of when you're writing Claude MD files. Again, these guys are incredibly more intelligent in this areas because they've been literally helped develop these codes and operate these on a 24/7 basis and god knows what else they they've been up to. And it's got a lot of great examples for you to do so.
Again, this is a modifier. This is helps what you originally have and adds it. It's literally incredibly small, very easy to install and you can ask your AI to work with this to say, "Hey, how can I introduce this to all of my Claude and make it better so then I'm following some of these same guidelines?" And if you already have a Claude MD file that you're already working with, installing something like this will make it a whole lot easier. So, that is a simple one. You're literally going to grab that, copy it, go back into your VS code, come in here, and again, you can do it one of two ways. Ask Claude to help you install the repo, or just again, cuz it has the plugin, just come in here. I'm deleting all of this as you see, and then I'm just going to come in and then place the plugin command right in here. Boom, and hit enter. This is how easy it is. And then again, you can communicate once it's installed saying, "Hey, look through all my Claude MD files, through all my work projects, or anything that I have available, and you tell me anything that might be missing or might need a little bit more love or a better install, and how can this skill set now be used to help enhance that experience?" And there you go, you have that ability.
So, between all these different files and this different ability for you to do that, you have now the ability to give yourself the most and best step forward when it comes to installing these particular repos, right? So, again, six repos, one ecosystem, Superpowers. Again, for methodology planning, sub-agent execution, Everything Claude code, if you're just an absolute beginner and you want to optimize right from the beginning. When you want to get into swarm building and you're going into major complex builds, Roof low is the way to go. Open Design right at the beginning so you get the best design patterns using one of the best designs kind of frameworks that are out there that is relevant to Claude code design that's out there right now, or Claude design, I should say. Obsidian skills, if you're an Obsidian person that's using the second brain, this is something you definitely want to install in your Claude code so you can kind of have them all work together. And then finally, empathy skills, that just kind of gives you four principles to work on your Claude MD files that you can then can store or modify the one that you already have existing. That will just enhance your experience with Cloud. So, hopefully this was helpful, guys, and we'll see you in the next >> [music]
