ai-tooling

ai-tooling

Inventory and evaluation of AI tools, skills, agents, frameworks, harnesses, and workflows for building an ideal AI-assisted development setup.

Uses the ACMM (AI Codebase Maturity Model) as a framework for evaluating which tools matter at each maturity level.

Install

Add as a Claude Code marketplace:

claude plugins:add-marketplace https://github.com/mattbutlerengineering/ai-tooling.git
claude plugins:install ai-tooling

This gives you four skills:

• /setup-workflow — bootstrap the recommended AI workflow in any repo
• /evaluate-tool — evaluate a new tool before adopting it (checks overlap, ACMM fit)
• /audit-workflow — audit your current setup against the recommended workflow
• /update-catalog — sync the catalog with current GitHub stars and local installs
• /sync-stars — find starred repos not in CATALOG.md and generate ready-to-paste entries

Contents

• CATALOG.md — flat inventory of every tool with definitions, problem statements, and overlap markers
• WORKFLOW.md — recommended tool stack per ACMM level, with exclusions and rationale
• evaluations/ — 16 evidence-based evaluations covering every recommended tool:
  • Code Understanding — codegraph + graphify > Understand-Anything > repomix
  • Agent Harnesses — superpowers > compound-engineering > gstack > ECC > ruflo
  • Memory Systems — claude-mem > agentmemory > OMEGA
  • Skills Collections — mattpocock/skills + agent-skills > everything-claude-code
  • Recommended Tools — individual evaluations for 15 tools with no direct competitor
  • Composio — CONDITIONAL: skip below L4
  • mem0 vs claude-mem — keep claude-mem unless multi-tool or scale needs emerge
  • New Tools (Loop 1) — caveman, trailofbits/skills, book-to-skill, humanizer
  • New Tools (Loop 2) — claude-code-action, shadcn/improve, design-council
  • New Tools (Loop 3) — CLI-Anything, chrome-devtools-mcp, claude-subconscious, tokencost
  • New Tools (Loop 4) — Fabric, claude-task-master, scorecard, SimpleMem
  • New Tools (Loop 5) — andrej-karpathy-skills, autoresearch, google/skills, impeccable
  • New Tools (Loop 6) — opencode, dify, goose, agentskills
  • New Tools (Loop 7) — docmd, agent-rules-books, ralph-claude-code, ghostsecurity/skills
  • New Tools (Loop 8) — last30days-skill, Agent-Reach, llm-council
  • New Tools (Loop 9) — context-mode, planning-with-files, cognee, ponytail

Quick Start

After installing, run /setup-workflow in any repo to bootstrap the recommended workflow. It creates a CLAUDE.md with quality-producing rules, checks your global tool installation, and identifies gaps for your target ACMM level.
