Show HN: ProofShot – Give AI coding agents eyes to verify the UI they build
I use AI agents to build UI features daily. The thing that kept annoying me: the agent writes code but never sees what it actually looks like in the browser. It can’t tell if the layout is broken or if the console is throwing errors.<p>So I built a CLI that lets the agent open a browser, interact with the page, record what happens, and collect any errors. Then it bundles everything — video, screenshots, logs — into a self-contained HTML file I can review in seconds.<p><pre><code> proofshot start --run "npm run dev" --port 3000 # agent navigates, clicks, takes screenshots proofshot stop </code></pre> It works with whatever agent you use (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, etc.) — it’s just shell commands. It's packaged as a skill so your AI coding agent knows exactly how it works. It's built on agent-browser from Vercel Labs which is far better and faster than Playwright MCP.<p>It’s not a testing framework. The agent doesn’t decide pass/fail. It just gives me the evidence so I don’t have to open the browser myself every time.<p>Open source and completely free.<p>Website: <a href="https://proofshot.argil.io/" rel="nofollow">https://proofshot.argil.io/</a>

View originalI built a fairly detailed medieval peasant sim by directing Claude Code agents in parallel. Write-up on how.
Domesday is a bleak life-sim set in England just after the Conquest, running 1068 to 1086. I designed and directed it; the agents did the actual building. The bit that might interest this sub is how it was made to test itself. The game logic runs with no browser, so it can play through thousands of times headlessly and catch its own bugs, and there’s a separate AI step that looks at each rendered screen, since a coding agent can’t see a picture and tell you a sprite is floating off its tile. Mostly it was an experiment in running an AI build team without ending up with something I didn’t recognise as mine. Write-up: https://domesdaygame.vercel.app/how-domesday-was-made.html. Play it: https://domesdaygame.vercel.app/ Happy to go into any of the workflow. submitted by /u/pandulfi [link] [comments]

View originalI created a tank based game called “Scorched Steel” using Claude Code
Hey r/ClaudeAI! I recently built a small web game called **Scorched Steel**, inspired by the classic games I used to play in my childhood. It is completely free to try right in your browser. What the game is: Scorched Steel is a turn-based artillery game where you have to calculate angles and power to defeat the enemy tanks. How I used Claude Code to build it: I used Claude Code extensively to bring this idea to life. Since I was just starting out, Claude acted as my co-pilot and helped me with: Core Logic: Claude generated the math for the projectile physics and collision detection. UI & Graphics: It helped me structure the HTML/CSS and set up the game loop on the canvas. Debugging: Whenever a mechanic broke, I fed the error logs back into Claude to help me refactor the code and fix the bugs quickly. The process of going from an idea to a deployed game was incredibly fast thanks to Claude Code. The game is completely free to play. I’d love for you to test it out and give me any feedback on the gameplay, or let me know if you have any questions about the prompts I used! You can play it here: https://scorched-steel.vercel.app/ Thanks! submitted by /u/arpan171 [link] [comments]

View originalA Skill that help AI understand more about 'gsap' animation and more frontend website design
Three of the twenty-nine template examples: Xianying-Template Pricing-Template Some-CoolTemplate Monich Monich is a free, open-source skill pack for AI coding agents such as Claude Code and other Markdown-reading agents. Its purpose is simple: when you ask an agent to build an Apple-inspired product showcase, a Raycast-style app landing page, an NVIDIA/GPU-inspired reveal page, a pinned-scroll experience, or a polished parallax landing page, Monich gives it reusable instructions, templates, and rules to produce a real, runnable frontend instead of vague design advice. What’s included Agent instructions for Claude Code and other compatible coding agents React + Vite + Motion template React + Vite + GSAP ScrollTrigger template Plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript no-framework template Three.js and GLB model support in the React templates Scroll-linked sound-effect support Reduced-motion accessibility guidance Performance rules focused on transform and opacity animations Installation scripts for Windows, macOS, and Linux How Claude and Claude Code helped Claude Code-style agent workflows helped shape Monich into an installable, multi-agent package rather than a one-off website template. Claude-style prompting was used to iterate on: Folder structure Skill instructions Installer behavior Template documentation Frontend templates The workflow was especially useful for deciding when an agent should use Motion, when GSAP ScrollTrigger is a better fit, when it should fall back to plain HTML, and how to recreate broad interaction patterns without copying real brands. What Monich helps build Monich helps coding agents create polished, scroll-driven product pages with: Sticky scenes and pinned timelines Parallax layers Product and app mockups GLB model displays Responsive layouts Reduced-motion fallbacks Performance-safe animation rules For projects that include a .glb model, provide the model to the coding agent for better results instead of asking it to invent a 3D asset from scratch. Humanity has suffered enough fake 3D blobs. License and availability Monich is free to try and open source. GitHub: Monich submitted by /u/wvrncw [link] [comments]
View originalI built a local MCP gateway (Conduit) almost entirely with Claude Code, what it does and what I learned
Since this is r/ClaudeAI, the how might be as useful as the what. I built this with Claude Code in the last 48 hours. What it is: a local desktop app that puts all your MCP servers behind one gateway, so they work across Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, and other tools. You set up and authenticate each server once instead of reconfiguring it in every client. It's free and open source (MIT), Windows now, macOS/Linux coming. Why I built it: I use Claude Desktop + Claude Code plus a couple other tools, and managing MCP servers across all of them was painful, the same servers configured in each app, API keys in plaintext, and every agent buried under hundreds of tool definitions. What it does: Lazy discovery: your agent sees 3 meta-tools instead of 400 and searches/calls on demand, so context stays small Keys live in your OS keychain, not config files Per-agent profiles, an audit log, and a built-in tool playground How Claude helped (the interesting part): It's a Tauri app, Rust gateway + React frontend, and I'm not a strong Rust dev. Claude Code wrote most of the gateway, the MCP protocol handling, the OAuth 2.1 flow, and the keychain integration. The hardest part was Windows-specific bugs, and it diagnosed each from the symptoms: MSIX path virtualization (packaged apps like Claude Desktop silently redirect %APPDATA% into a sandbox, so the app was reading the wrong config) a stdio server with no read timeout deadlocking the whole health check OAuth callback-port collisions when re-authing quickly What I learned: if you're routing many MCP servers through one place, "lazy discovery" (a few meta-tools the agent searches, instead of exposing all of them) is the thing that keeps context usable, most clients silently drop tools past ~40-128 anyway. Free to try: conduit.southforgeai.com · code: github.com/tsouth89/conduit Happy to answer anything about building it with Claude Code.

View originali built a terminal coding agent with claude (gpulse)
guys ive been trying to build a CLI coding agent and im calling it "gpulse" i started building it because i was bored and wanted to see if its something i can build myself. i actually built the agent using claude to help me code the main loop, and im using the gemini api as the brain for the agent to run commands, edit files and connect to different tools from the terminal. after a week of continuos errors and refinement it finally made some progress. i asked it to create a react app in a folder, push it to github, deploy it to vercel, and then finally share the public url to me. it fumbled a bit here and there like "reaching maximum iterations in tool loop" which i added to be quite consious about requests. but a simple "continue" prompt fixed it, and its a handy workaround to prevent runaway tool loops from spamming the api or wasting credits because if the agent gets stuck it just pauses. i also managed to add custom skills and plugins alongside writing the MCP client from scratch using pure typescript and Node.js built-ins for stdio and SSE transport instead of using the official SDK. claude helped a lot with structuring the transport streams and handling the json-rpc message parsing. https://preview.redd.it/vrs5ecd2l68h1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=d16734acc5358113d671fcdc899dca0e5d41934d https://preview.redd.it/qli6ysc4l68h1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=b7882bd3ae4c9cee37c0ae89057f00caa9a1465f submitted by /u/Even_Ganache6148 [link] [comments]
View originalAvoiding tickets in San Francisco
I’ve gotten my fair share of street sweeping tickets since I park on the street in San Francisco. It’s not common but every street is different, sometimes you forget to check when parking at a friend’s or while out of town and tickets are $100. I realized my Tesla knows where it is at all times and SF publishes street sweeping data, so I used Claude to connect the two and voila. Streetsweepalerts.com A nightly cron polls the car's location, cross-references SF's open street-sweeping data for that exact block, and texts you the evening before if sweeping is scheduled the next day. No app to install — just an SMS. Stack is Vercel serverless + Supabase + Twilio + the Tesla Fleet API. Claude was great on Front end - it prototyped dozens of creative UI ideas, most of which I didn’t use, but were great inspiration. Security - auditing every layer of the stack to ensure vehicle location data is not stored anywhere and encrypting the Tesla API token. It’s a great insurance policy on the occasional ticket. submitted by /u/smokingthesemeats41 [link] [comments]

View originalI built a Claude Code skill that stops vibecoders from leaking secrets and installing hallucinated packages — open source, contributions welcome
One thing that people do not talk about enough when it comes to vibecoding is that AI assistants are really good at writing code. They are not so good at stopping you from doing things with that code that could be dangerous. There are a mistakes that I kept seeing people make and I made them too. - One mistake is committing an API key because the.env file was not added to the gitignore file yet. - Another mistake is installing a package that the model suggested. It does not actually exist. Instead an attacker had registered that name. - A third mistake is pushing code to a repository with no protection no way to scan for secrets nothing. So I built **tutor-buddy** which is a Claude Code skill. It has a five-phase workflow: you come up with an idea then you make a plan then you build it then you do a security audit. Finally you send it to GitHub. The part that I am most proud of is the security audit. Most checklists are not very helpful. This one is different because it divides threats into two groups: things that can be checked when you are building the code and things that cannot be checked. - It looks at the history of the code for secrets not just the current version. Most people do not know that secrets can still be in the history even after you delete them. - It checks for **slopsquatting** which is when a model suggests a package that does not exist. An attacker has already registered that name. The standard `npm audit` does not catch this because it only checks packages that exist. - It only checks for authentication defenses if your project has a way for people to log in. It does not make things up for a website. - It marks human-layer attacks, like phishing and social engineering as **NOT VERIFIABLE**. It gives you concrete habits to follow instead of just giving you a green check mark. The build phase also has a rule: it does not write any code until you approve the plan and it warns you if you try to do something that's not in the plan. You can find the code for **tutor-buddy** at this repository: https://github.com/acm-rgb/tutor-buddy. To install it you just need to unzip the.skill file into the ~/.claude/skills/ directory and restart Claude Code. You do not need to do anything to make it work. It will start automatically when you say things like "start a project" or "is this safe to push to GitHub". I am open to people helping me with this project with the security audit part. There is an issue about adding a deployment phase, which would include things, like Render, Railway, Vercel and Fly.io if anyone wants to work on that. submitted by /u/DadJokesAreFunny4Me [link] [comments]
View originalbuilt and deployed a full world cup prediction app in one day using claude and claude code. no web dev background, here's how it felt.
the idea came from a bar. i asked my friends what the score would be during germany vs curacao. everyone thought about it seriously and suddenly every goal meant something different. i built the app the same day. calledit-nine.vercel.app?join=stayhb what claude helped me build in one day: a score prediction app with group codes, live football api integration, supabase backend, google oauth, hidden predictions before kickoff, automatic score reveals, a custom points system, leaderboard with tiebreakers, match comments, a big call feature that doubles points, vercel analytics, and a shareable invite system. i have no web development background. i used claude for ideation and design decisions in this chat, and claude code for actually writing and deploying the files. the whole thing from idea to live deployed app with real users took one day. the most interesting part was how the workflow felt: i made all the product decisions, caught design flaws, and directed what to build. claude handled the implementation. it felt less like coding and more like having a very fast technical cofounder. https://reddit.com/link/1u7j6is/video/8dsax5yfdo7h1/player happy to share the full build process, prompts i used, or any specific decisions in the comments. submitted by /u/chaitanyadandekar [link] [comments]
View originalGot Tired of Refreshing Claude's Status Page. Made it to the front page of Hacker News with my Fable 5 Availability Tracker
Woke up a few days ago wondering if Fable had come back, had an idea to turn it into a site and now this has been my entire focus for the past 60+ hours. Really simple stack, Next.js + Typescript on Vercel and Redist. Was using resend for building the email list, until I made it to the front page of Hacker News, the second from the top result on google, etc., and I completely blew past the resend rate limits. It's been genuinely really exciting seeing the numbers go astronomical on a personal project after making stuff for a decade and a half. Opus 4.8 wrote the UI, helped me plan out the backend, and helped out a ton when I had to figure out what to do when the email box broke. I totally get how much it pales in comparison to Fable, but you know what? He tries his best and you gotta respect that. You can add your email to get notified, one time (pinkie swear, and its in the privacy policy so I'm pretty sure I have to abide), when the checker confirms that the time has come, so we can all get started on trying to escape the permanent underclass. submitted by /u/chrisandstuffs [link] [comments]
View originalYou asked for DeepLearning.ai-style notebooks for AgentSwarms—so we built 67 of them (TypeScript/LangChain/LangGraph/LlamaIndex/AgentsSDK/VercelAI).
Hey everyone, A few months ago, We shared the visual canvas we built for AgentSwarms. The response was incredible, but the most common piece of feedback was: "The visual canvas is great for architecture, but I need to see the actual code to really understand how to deploy this." You wanted deep-dive, code-first labs—the kind you see on DeepLearning.ai—but for multi-agent systems, faster and with more flexibility. We’ve spent the last few weeks heads-down engineering a completely new Interactive Notebooks section. As of today, we have 67 TypeScript-based notebooks live on the site (with more dropping soon). What’s in the library: We’ve covered everything from basic LangChain fundamentals to complex enterprise-level multi-agent workflows. Everything runs entirely in your browser using TypeScript—no Docker, no Python venv, no local dependencies. A personal favorite: I’m particularly excited about the "Failure Mode & Error Handling" notebook. We’ve all seen agents that work perfectly in a demo but crash in production the moment a tool times out or an LLM returns garbage. This notebook walks through: How to build deterministic validation gates between nodes. How to force an orchestrator to "catch" a worker failure and dynamically re-route or re-prompt. How to handle state recovery when a multi-agent loop gets stuck in a hallucination cycle. Why we built this: I’m tired of seeing AI "tutorials" that are just static blog posts. To master Agentic AI, you need to be able to tweak a system prompt, break the code, watch the error trace, and fix the routing logic in real-time. The entire library of 67 labs is 100% free to use. If you’re currently wrestling with how to make your agents production-grade, I’d love for you to check them out and let me know if there’s a specific "failure mode" or architecture pattern you’d like us to add to the next batch of notebooks.

View originalI gave your agent access to Firefox - meet Firefox CLI
Firefox CLI is a CLI interface that lets your agent control your real Firefox session. It's a full equivalent of Agent Browser with the same capabilities, but for Firefox - and with a number of improvements. Why it's better First, you install the extension once and for all. The extension ships right alongside the CLI: install it, grant access, forget about it. Unlike Chrome, where you have to grant connection permissions every half hour and manage debugging sessions - here it's one button and full control. Second, your agents can now create their own separate windows and request your permission to connect on their own. In everything else, Firefox CLI mirrors Agent Browser: token-efficient operation via short IDs, running arbitrary scripts, keypresses, input emulation, form filling, and full tab and window management of your real session - where you're already logged in. Why I built it I used the Comet browser for a long time (on my promo subscription to Perplexity), but it started to let me down. More unnecessary features and ads crept in, it got slower. But the main thing - using Comet as an actual browser during development is extremely inconvenient: there's music you can't turn off, a broken onboarding that was never fixed after months of back-and-forth with support, and a poorly functioning CDP. I switched back to Firefox as my main browser, but losing the ability for agents to control my browser was a huge blow to my workflow. No automation for filling out boring freelance forms, no proper web app testing. I went looking for alternatives, but nothing like Agent Browser for Firefox simply existed. And here's the result :) Installation 1. Install the CLI: bash npm install -g firefox-cli 2. Install the Firefox extension: bash firefox-cli setup 3.
