Spotlight by Backplanes

Session reports for Claude Code & Codex to improve your code

Spotlight helps you stay in sync with your AI agents by monitoring your Claude Code and Codex sessions. It provides clear insights into the actions your agents took and how to refine their performance over time. Whether you are working solo or as part of a large team, it helps you identify what to fix, what to ship, and what is worth sharing. It is free to use and works across any number of harnesses.

Recursi

Self improving vibe coding env with no API fees

An extremely powerful environment for vibe coding, allowing you to use web based chatbots (Claude/Gemini via aistudio/ChatGPT, etc) extremely efficiently while staying firmly in their terms of service. A whole lot of apps are provided as samples / templates, including a YouTube playlist app that not only allows a great YouTube experience without ads (also within terms of service!), but "Guitar Hero for piano" that works with a MIDI piano. So much more.

Moxie Docs

Living docs + MCP context for your GitHub repos

Moxie Docs streamlines your development workflow by intelligently indexing your GitHub repository just once, then transforming that repository into a profound source of understanding. This critical context is then seamlessly integrated directly into your AI agents via MCP, empowering them with the knowledge they need to perform effectively. Moxie Docs also provides a powerful, searchable documentation workspace for your team and implements automated PR checks that diligently ensure your documentation remains accurate and honest. This comprehensive approach ensures that vital repository information is always accessible and consistent, fostering better collaboration and maintaining high-quality documentation across your projects.

Brief

Navigate your agents to product-market fit

While AI agents can accelerate product development, they often operate in a vacuum without essential product context. Brief solves this critical challenge by providing product teams with a dynamic, living source of truth. It meticulously captures all key decisions and preserves the original product intent, ensuring that both human team members and AI agents always have access to relevant, up-to-date context. This vital information is seamlessly delivered through various channels, including chat interfaces, Slack, command-line interfaces, and MCP. Brief effectively connects your overall strategy, daily decisions, and execution, ensuring a clear and consistent path from initial vision all the way to measurable impact.

AEVS

proof-of-execution for AI agents

The Agent Execution Verification System, or AEVS, is a drop in SDK that records every tool call made by an AI agent. It provides verifiable receipts that include inputs, outputs, status, and timing as tamper evident proof. This allows teams to verify exactly what an agent executed without needing to rely on fragile logs or incomplete chat history.
