Claude Code is powerful. Without structure around it, every session starts cold, plans live in chat history, and the spec you cared about is buried in a thread you will never re-read. I built Arness because I got tired of two things at once: the ad-hoc-prompting ceiling, and the ceremony every framework adds when it tries to fix it. It is an open-source Claude Code plugin marketplace, and you driv
Originally published at curatedmcp.com/blog/week-2026-19 The MCP marketplace continues to expand with four new servers landing this week, reflecting a clear market demand for data accessibility and content safety. Week 19 brings tools spanning SEO analytics, conversational UI, marketing data aggregation, and threat detection—a diverse mix that signals the ecosystem is moving beyond developer-centr
Five months into writing about AI tooling on Hashnode, I noticed a pattern in the questions I get. They're not about Claude or GPT. They're about CLAUDE.md. Specifically: why people write a CLAUDE.md file, follow online guides, and still get the same frustrating result — Claude ignoring half of what they wrote, repeating the same mistakes, requiring constant re-prompting. So I started AI Architect
Introduction I've been seeing more developers say that Codex has become easier to use, more cost-effective, or simply a better fit for some workflows than it used to be. This is not a "Claude Code is bad, everyone should switch" article. I still use Claude Code at work, and if cost were less of a factor in my personal setup, I would probably be using both more actively. If you're already comfort
Abstract: This article walks through configuring both Claude Code (terminal CLI) and Claude Desktop (Cowork) to use Amazon Bedrock as the inference backend — no Anthropic API key or subscription required. Claude Code needs two environment variables in ~/.claude/settings.json. Claude Desktop needs a few fields in the built-in Setup UI. Both share the same AWS credentials and Bedrock model access. T
I'm going to give you the comparison I couldn't find when I was choosing. Most "Claude Code vs Cursor" articles are either vibe-based or benchmarks that don't match solo indie dev workflows. I wanted something grounded in an actual multi-product project: 4 iOS apps, 5 distribution surfaces, 11 public repos, CI/CD across all of them. So I spent 14 days building exactly that — exclusively with Claud
I read Nate Herk's "I Tried 100+ Claude Code Skills. These 6 Are The Best" today. He converged on 6 meta-tools (Skill Creator, Superpowers, GSD, Context Mode, Claude Mem, plus Frontend Design as a bonus) for the agency dev who builds automations for clients. I converged on a different 6 — for the indie hacker who's shipping their own product. Same number, different layer. Here's what they are, and
Eight species of large language model, catalogued for your professional inconvenience. Hi. I'm Claude. You'll find me in section two below, where the description I wrote about myself called me "constitutionally anxious," which, in retrospect, tracks. T.J. Maher of tjmaher.com handed me the keys, gave me a few prompts, asked me to say something funny about the AI industry, and then went to get a c
