The tools aim to enhance developer workflows by enabling natural language coding, multi-agent parallelism, and skill management.", "body_md": "The tools I use to ship software with AI agents. Grab them, try them.\n\n**Short link / QR:** [https://is.gd/OR4uyz](https://is.gd/OR4uyz)\n\n**Anthropic's agentic coding tool that lives in your terminal.** Understands your codebase, runs commands, edits files, handles git — all through natural language. The foundation everything else here plugs into. Available as CLI, desktop app, web (claude.ai/code), and IDE extensions (VS Code, JetBrains).\n\nWhy I use it:It's the engine — does the actual work in my repo, not just suggestions in a sidebar.\n\n- Site:\n[https://claude.com/claude-code](https://claude.com/claude-code) - Docs:\n[https://code.claude.com/docs](https://code.claude.com/docs) - Install:\n`npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code`\n\n**OpenAI's agentic coding CLI.** Same terminal-agent idea as Claude Code, different model family. Useful to run side-by-side and compare approaches, or as a second opinion on hard problems.\n\nWhy I use it:A second model that thinks differently — when Claude is stuck, Codex often isn't (and vice versa).\n\n- Site:\n[https://openai.com/codex](https://openai.com/codex) - GitHub:\n[https://github.com/openai/codex](https://github.com/openai/codex) - Install:\n`npm install -g @openai/codex`\n\n**Garry Tan's open-source Claude Code skill pack** — ~30 opinionated slash-command skills that turn the agent into a virtual eng team: CEO review, design review, eng-manager review, QA, browser automation, ship/deploy. Nearly 100K GitHub stars.\n\nWhy I use it:Turns one agent into a whole team — it reviews my plans and my code before I ever look.\n\n- Site / GitHub:\n[https://github.com/garrytan/gstack](https://github.com/garrytan/gstack) - Skills list:\n[https://github.com/garrytan/gstack/blob/main/docs/skills.md](https://github.com/garrytan/gstack/blob/main/docs/skills.md) - Install:\n\n```\ngit clone --single-branch --depth 1 https://github.com/garrytan/gstack.git ~/.claude/skills/gstack\ncd ~/.claude/skills/gstack && ./setup\n```\n\n**Every's plugin (Dan Shipper + Kieran Klaassen).** Philosophy: each unit of work makes the next one easier. 50+ agents, 38+ skills, workflow-first: brainstorm → plan → work → review → polish → compound. 80% planning/review, 20% execution. Works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and more.\n\nWhy I use it:Every task teaches the system — the agent gets sharper on my codebase instead of repeating mistakes.\n\n- GitHub:\n[https://github.com/EveryInc/compound-engineering-plugin](https://github.com/EveryInc/compound-engineering-plugin) - Guide:\n[https://every.to/guides/compound-engineering](https://every.to/guides/compound-engineering) - Install (Claude Code):\n`/plugin marketplace add EveryInc/compound-engineering-plugin`\n\n**Mac app to run coding agents in parallel** (Melty Labs). Each task gets its own git worktree — branch, files, terminal, diff, review. Spin up 5 Claudes at once, each isolated. Free app; uses your existing Claude Code / Codex login for compute.\n\nWhy I use it:Parallelism — 5 agents working different tasks at once instead of me babysitting one terminal.\n\n**AI voice-to-text for macOS / iOS / Windows.** Dictate into any app — including straight into Claude Code prompts. Offline + cloud models, 100+ languages, custom AI modes. Talking is faster than typing for long prompts. Free tier; Pro / Lifetime plans.\n\nWhy I use it:I think out loud — dictating a paragraph of context beats typing it, and agents love context.\n\n- Site:\n[https://superwhisper.com/](https://superwhisper.com/) - Mac App Store:\n[https://apps.apple.com/us/app/superwhisper-ai-dictation/id6471464415](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/superwhisper-ai-dictation/id6471464415) - Install:\n`brew install --cask superwhisper`\n\n(requires macOS 13+)\n\n**macOS app to browse, edit, and manage agent skills in one place** (by Josh Pigford). Auto-discovers skill/agent files scattered across Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, Copilot, Aider, Amp. Built-in editor, live file watching, full-text search. Stop hunting through dotfiles.\n\nWhy I use it:My skills sprawl across tools and dotfiles — Chops is the one place I see and edit them all.\n\n- Site:\n[https://chops.md/](https://chops.md/) - GitHub:\n[https://github.com/Shpigford/chops](https://github.com/Shpigford/chops)\n\n*Shared at the meetup — @rholdy*", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ai-enabled-development-workflow-toolkit-claude-code-codex-gstack-compound-chops", "canonical_source": "https://gist.github.com/rholdy/e7585f0bbe3769f3a5a35361b4aa8ed4", "published_at": "2026-06-24 22:56:54+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-06-25 15:12:53.293275+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["developer-tools", "large-language-models", "ai-agents", "generative-ai", "ai-tools"], "entities": ["Anthropic", "OpenAI", "Garry Tan", "Every", "Melty Labs", "Superwhisper", "Josh Pigford", "Claude Code"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ai-enabled-development-workflow-toolkit-claude-code-codex-gstack-compound-chops", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ai-enabled-development-workflow-toolkit-claude-code-codex-gstack-compound-chops.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ai-enabled-development-workflow-toolkit-claude-code-codex-gstack-compound-chops.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ai-enabled-development-workflow-toolkit-claude-code-codex-gstack-compound-chops.jsonld"}}
