Claude Code tools, explained.

Every video ships one thing you can install. These pages show what each one does, what it touches on your machine, and how to tell it's working.
Toolkit map

Built by Alex Tong, previously at Amazon and The New York Times. The code for every tool is public, so you can read every line before you install it.

Audits

  1. claude-md-auditskill

    CLAUDE.md Audit

    Scores every CLAUDE.md and .claude/rules file in a repo out of 11 and names the exact lines to cut. Read-only during the audit.

    How it works

Session tools

  1. freshskill

    Fresh

    The restart for when context is running low, polluted, or the session went sideways: writes a short resume prompt from the conversation and live git state and puts it on your clipboard; you type /clear and paste it. Writes one file under ~/.claude/fresh/ and nothing else.

    How it works
  2. skill-bannerhook

    Skill Banner

    Prints a RUNNING SKILL banner with the skill's name the moment a skill starts, whether you typed the command or Claude picked the skill on its own. Two hooks, one script, writes nothing.

    How it works
  3. statuslinescript

    Status Line

    A two-line status line for Claude Code: model, effort, folder and branch on top; context left, session cost and elapsed time below. The context number turns amber, then red, before Claude starts forgetting. Run /statusline:setup once after installing.

    How it works

Install

The install and update commands for every tool are in The AI Kitchen's Classroom, next to the changelog. The AI Kitchen is my free community.

  1. Join The AI Kitchen. It's free, and if you join before there's a paid tier you never pay for it.Join free to install
  2. Open the Classroom. The first lesson in the Claude Code course, “Start here: install the toolkit”, has the commands.
