I Tried 100+ Github Repos for Claude. These 6 Are the Best — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00So, there are over 100,000 GitHub repos
2. 0:02built for Claude right now. And most of
3. 0:03them are honestly a waste of time. But,
4. 0:05after trying and actually using more
5. 0:07than 100 repos, I found 10 that I cannot
6. 0:09work without. And some of these help me
7. 0:10finish projects 10 times faster, some
8. 0:12save you money on tools you'd otherwise
9. 0:13pay for every month, and some have
10. 0:15completely replaced me in some parts of
11. 0:17my workflow. So, in this video, I'll
12. 0:18show you what they are, what problem
13. 0:20each one solves, [music] and how to use
14. 0:21them to build something that businesses
15. 0:23will actually pay you for. So, let's not
16. 0:24waste any time and just get straight
17. 0:25into this one. Okay. So, the first repo
18. 0:27is Hyperframes, and this is from Haygen.
19. 0:30It's taken over a huge part of my video
20. 0:32editing. You basically just tell Claude
21. 0:33what you want in natural language, and
22. 0:35it builds the video out of HTML and
23. 0:36animations, and Hyperframes renders a
24. 0:38real MP4, so a real video, right on your
25. 0:41computer. You can get captions, motion
26. 0:42graphics, title cards, product promos,
27. 0:44all that kind of stuff. And then what I
28. 0:45do is I build skills on top of
29. 0:47Hyperframes to make things like YouTube
30. 0:49video intros or Instagram Reels, course
31. 0:51videos, ads, so many things. Editing is
32. 0:54no longer the bottleneck for me and my
33. 0:56team. I'll literally drop in a raw clip
34. 0:57and say, "Hey, can you add captions and
35. 0:58a title card to this?" Or, "Can you turn
36. 1:00this into an Instagram Reel?" And a few
37. 1:01minutes later, I've got a finished file.
38. 1:03Now, you might have heard of something
39. 1:04like Remotion, which also does this, but
40. 1:06I've just found way more success with
41. 1:07Hyperframes. It's not a sponsored video
42. 1:08at all, and I've enjoyed the experience
43. 1:10using Hyperframes a lot. It's open
44. 1:12source, it has no per-render fees, so
45. 1:14it's completely free. And pretty much
46. 1:15any business that posts videos will pay
47. 1:18for you to edit videos for them, like a
48. 1:19gym that wants 20 caption clips a month
49. 1:21or something like that. You can sell
50. 1:23that as a monthly content package. And
51. 1:25you don't have to have any video editing
52. 1:26experience to actually use these tools.
53. 1:28Okay, so number two is one of the things
54. 1:30that I use the most, and it's the Google
55. 1:32Workspace CLI. It lets Claude work with
56. 1:34pretty much anything in your Google
57. 1:35account, like your Drive, Gmail,
58. 1:37Calendar, Docs, Sheets, and Slides, and
59. 1:39it formats everything beautifully using
60. 1:41the CLI. Now, you could obviously use
61. 1:43the built-in connector for Google inside
62. 1:44of Claude, but those only work inside of
63. 1:46the Claude desktop app. They don't cover
64. 1:48everything. But, this is a CLI, a
65. 1:49command-line tool. So, Claude Code,
66. 1:51CodeX, or any other agent that you build
67. 1:54with can use the this And it comes with
68. 1:55over 40 skills, so Claude already knows
69. 1:57exactly how to use it. Now, setting this
70. 1:59up will just take a few minutes because
71. 2:01you do need a Google Cloud project for
72. 2:03the login, but then Claude can just walk
73. 2:04you through it step-by-step. You just
74. 2:05have to give access to the apps that you
75. 2:07actually want to use through the CLI.
76. 2:09And most small businesses run on Google.
77. 2:11So, weekly reports, invoices, follow-up
78. 2:13emails, anything like that, you can help
79. 2:15them automate that quicker. All right,
80. 2:16repo number three is Apify, or it's
81. 2:18technically the Apify MCP server.
82. 2:20There's a ton of data out there that
83. 2:21Claude just cannot naturally, or
84. 2:23natively I should have said, reach and
85. 2:25touch. Sites like Instagram and Reddit,
86. 2:27they might either block it or just
87. 2:28[music] need JavaScript to load it, so
88. 2:30Claude basically gets back an empty
89. 2:31page. So, Apify connects Claude to
90. 2:33thousands of ready-made scrapers for
91. 2:34Instagram, TikTok, Amazon, tons of
92. 2:36different websites. So, I'll basically
93. 2:37just ask it, "Hey, can you find bakeries
94. 2:39in Chicago on Instagram and give me
95. 2:41their follower count and download the
96. 2:43videos and show me the ones with, you
97. 2:45know, no websites in their bio," things
98. 2:46like that. And then a couple minutes
99. 2:47later, you've got a spreadsheet right
100. 2:48there. The connector is open source, but
101. 2:50the scrapers run on Apify's cloud, so
102. 2:52you might have to pay a few bucks
103. 2:53depending on which scraper you're using.
104. 2:55The free plan gives you five bucks of
105. 2:57credit a month, and then the other
106. 2:59actors you might have to pay for, like I
107. 3:00said, per result. There are also some
108. 3:02other open source repos out there that
109. 3:03help you scrape different things like
110. 3:04Firecrawl, but Apify has been really
111. 3:06easy to use as well. All right, so full
112. 3:08disclosure, this next one I built, and
113. 3:10it's called Scrollcraft, and I'll link
114. 3:11it in the description. You've probably
115. 3:13seen those Apple-style websites where
116. 3:14you scroll and the whole page moves like
117. 3:16a movie and it's super immersive.
118. 3:17There's different layers. It just feels
119. 3:19cool. And if you ask Claude for one, you
120. 3:21usually get a very generic page with a
121. 3:22couple of different weird text fade-ins
122. 3:24or something like that. Scrollcraft
123. 3:26gives Claude a real scroll engine plus
124. 3:28the design rules that I've picked up by
125. 3:30building a bunch of different websites,
126. 3:31and it has a checker built in that
127. 3:33screenshots the scrolls and looks at the
128. 3:35positions, so Claude can fix things
129. 3:36before you ever have to instruct it to
130. 3:38fix those things. My AI automation
131. 3:40society site, my personal site, our
132. 3:41event sites, every site that we build
133. 3:44uses this repo. And what you'll notice
134. 3:45is that not all of these sites have to
135. 3:46be super, super scroll-driven and
136. 3:48immersive. The repo understands things
137. 3:50like taste and depth, and layering,
138. 3:52spacing, typography, color schemes. It
139. 3:55understands just tons of great stuff for
140. 3:57website design and for feel. Because
141. 3:59ultimately, the point of a website is to
142. 4:00feel good and to be able to actually
143. 4:02convert the user to do what you want
144. 4:04them to do. Nowadays, with AI, a basic
145. 4:06landing page is pretty much a commodity.
146. 4:08But brands that sell online still pay a
147. 4:10designer real money for, you know, a
148. 4:12custom scroll experience or something
149. 4:13that's not as easy to vibe code. So,
150. 4:15trust me, this repo is going to come in
151. 4:16handy when you're building your next
152. 4:17site. Okay, now, repo number five. This
153. 4:19is something that I found almost by
154. 4:20accident, and it's been on every product
155. 4:22since. It's called Humanizer, and it
156. 4:23makes whatever Claude writes stop
157. 4:25sounding like AI slop. It's built on a
158. 4:27guide that Wikipedia editors use to
159. 4:30catch AI-generated text. So, it knows
160. 4:31all of those like AI tells, when you can
161. 4:34just immediately look at it and it
162. 4:35smells like AI. Things like not this,
163. 4:38but that. All of those sort of setups or
164. 4:39tee-ups. Everything coming in groups of
165. 4:41three. Over-the-top hype words. You
166. 4:43basically just have to paste in website
167. 4:45copy or the cold email that you're about
168. 4:46to send or whatever it is, and you just
169. 4:47tell it to humanize it using this repo.
170. 4:49And it keeps what you were saying, but
171. 4:51it drops the stuff that makes people
172. 4:52instantly scroll past or lose trust.
173. 4:54Because obviously, copy that reads like
174. 4:55a person wrote it is a way easier pitch
175. 4:57than AI-generated content. Okay, so
176. 4:59those first five were really about
177. 5:02landing a client. The rest of these here
178. 5:03are more so about when a client asks you
179. 5:06to build something real, like a cleaning
180. 5:07company that wants customers to book
181. 5:09online and pay a deposit. And you've
182. 5:11probably had this happen where you're
183. 5:12maybe an hour or two into a build and
184. 5:14Claude starts randomly giving you
185. 5:15answers like it forgot everything. And
186. 5:17that's because long sessions get
187. 5:18compacted or you maybe enter context
188. 5:20rot, and details from earlier get
189. 5:22summarized away. So, repo six fixes
190. 5:25that. It's called Agent Skills from Addy
191. 5:27Osmani. Addy spent 14 years at Google
192. 5:29and now works on Claude code at
193. 5:31Anthropic. So, it gets the plan out of
194. 5:33the chat and into files. You can run
195. 5:34{slash} spec, and it writes a real spec
196. 5:36with you. You can run {slash} plan,
197. 5:38which breaks it into small tasks. And
198. 5:39then you can run {slash} build, which
199. 5:40works through them one at a time with a
200. 5:42check on each one. So, when a session
201. 5:44inevitably gets messy, you can just open
202. 5:46up a fresh one and it can pick up right
203. 5:48where you left off. The spec will also
204. 5:49ask about things that you probably
205. 5:51wouldn't think to bring up, like double
206. 5:53bookings or refunds or customers in
207. 5:54different time zones. All of these edge
208. 5:56cases that's really important to bake
209. 5:57into your actual spec or your build. And
210. 5:59it's something you can hand the client
211. 6:00before you build anything, so they know
212. 6:02exactly what they're actually getting.
213. 6:03That way you guys stay aligned all the
214. 6:05way through. And if you've been using
215. 6:06something like Superpowers from my
216. 6:07skills video back in May of this year,
217. 6:09Superpowers is still really good, but
218. 6:10Addy's is easier to follow if you're
219. 6:12newer. And there's also other skills
220. 6:13like Matt Pocock's, which are really
221. 6:14really good, especially if you're
222. 6:16wanting to build like a developer, even
223. 6:18if you're not a developer. So, I guess
224. 6:19Matt Pocock's would be a bonus GitHub
225. 6:21repo inside of this one right here. But,
226. 6:23let's move on to number seven, which is
227. 6:24Expo's official skills for mobile apps.
228. 6:26You can basically go from an idea to a
229. 6:28real app running on your own iPhone in
230. 6:30an afternoon, even if you're on Windows.
231. 6:32And they include Expo's own list of 20
232. 6:34things that make an app look AI-built,
233. 6:36plus the current rules for getting into
234. 6:38the actual app store. So, one quick tip,
235. 6:40tell Claude to use the Expo skills by
236. 6:42name, because they don't always load on
237. 6:43their own. You will also need a $99 a
238. 6:45year Apple developer account for
239. 6:47TestFlight or the App Store. And most
240. 6:49shops already have something like
241. 6:50Square, so sell them the one workflow
242. 6:52their current software doesn't fit. But,
243. 6:54trust me, if you guys want to get an app
244. 6:55into the store and you want to build it
245. 6:57in a way that actually makes sense, this
246. 6:58repo's going to save you a ton of time
247. 6:59and tons of headaches. Okay, now number
248. 7:01eight is on the back end of that app
249. 7:03that you're building or software that
250. 7:04you're building with Superbase and
251. 7:06Stripe's official skills. So, if your
252. 7:08app needs logins or a database or
253. 7:09payments, which pretty much every app
254. 7:11does need, Claude knows each company's
255. 7:13actual security rules, like making sure
256. 7:14users only see their own data and
257. 7:16checking that a payment really came from
258. 7:18Stripe. So, only install Stripe's skill
259. 7:20called Stripe best practices. You don't
260. 7:22need the whole plugin to start, because
261. 7:23the full plugin might try to route every
262. 7:25vendor decision through Stripe. And then
263. 7:26you can set the Superbase connector to
264. 7:28read only and then log in as one test
265. 7:30user before you launch and make sure you
266. 7:32can't see other users' data. But, trust
267. 7:34me, I know that the back end and the
268. 7:35payment stuff can get very confusing. If
269. 7:37you're vibe coder, you might get worried
270. 7:38about some security stuff, so use these
271. 7:40skills. Now, number nine is what you run
272. 7:42before you hand anything over to a
273. 7:44client or to the the internet. Because
274. 7:46Claude will happily tell you, "Yeah,
275. 7:48this works." But, it might not have
276. 7:49actually clicked those buttons and
277. 7:51checked if it really did work. So,
278. 7:52Playwright CLI from Microsoft opens a
279. 7:54real browser. It clicks through your app
280. 7:55like a customer would, and it writes
281. 7:57tests that you can rerun over and over
282. 7:59and basically just verify everything.
283. 8:00And since it's a command line tool
284. 8:02instead of an MCP, it doesn't dump the
285. 8:03whole page into Claude's context. So,
286. 8:05it's a lot lighter on tokens as well,
287. 8:07and it's a lot faster, honestly. So,
288. 8:08this helps you verify and test a ton of
289. 8:10things and find those edge cases. And
290. 8:12then, we also have Claude Security,
291. 8:14which is Anthropic's security plugin. It
292. 8:15sends a team of agents through your code
293. 8:17looking for holes, and separate agents
294. 8:19try to prove each other wrong, and they
295. 8:21try to look for different findings.
296. 8:22>> [music]
297. 8:22>> And you basically get a plain English
298. 8:23report of everything that survived, and
299. 8:26then it can write all those patches and
300. 8:27just execute on it for you. Now, clients
301. 8:29don't usually care about all these
302. 8:30tests, but what they really care about
303. 8:31is that the booking form works and that
304. 8:33their customer data doesn't leak. So,
305. 8:35build this into every project. And last
306. 8:37but not least, we have number 10, Open
307. 8:39SEO, because once the site or app is
308. 8:41live, people have to find it. It plugs
309. 8:43Claude into real keyword data, rankings,
310. 8:45backlinks. So, instead of generic
311. 8:46advice, it tells you the exact page and
312. 8:49the exact keyword where you're sitting
313. 8:50at. Agencies use an audit like this to
314. 8:52win the monthly SEO retainer. So, just
315. 8:54know the free trial credits are small,
316. 8:55and by default, your data sits on their
317. 8:57server unless you host it yourself. Now,
318. 8:59some of you guys might be wondering
319. 9:00about some of the token saving repos
320. 9:01like Caveman or RTK, Ponytail, things
321. 9:04like that. Now, JetBrains actually
322. 9:05tested all three on real coding tasks.
323. 9:07Caveman cut about 8 and 1/2% of output
324. 9:10tokens, where it was kind of advertising
325. 9:1165%. [music]
326. 9:12And RTK didn't really save anything, and
327. 9:14at low effort, it made tasks more
328. 9:16expensive. Ponytail was the only one
329. 9:17that saved money in these tests, about
330. 9:1910% per task, [music] which is half of
331. 9:22what it advertises. And on Windows, it
332. 9:24has an open bug that can stall every
333. 9:25message for several seconds. So, if you
334. 9:27want to see where your tokens actually
335. 9:28go, a repo called Codeburn shows your
336. 9:31spend and flags the waste like an MCP
337. 9:33server that you might never use, but
338. 9:35still loads on every message. And two I
339. 9:36recommended back in May, Claude Mem and
340. 9:38Context Mode, I'd maybe hold off on
341. 9:40those for now. Claude Mem sends usage
342. 9:42data by default, and Context Mode has an
343. 9:44open bug that can burn through your
344. 9:46usage. So, everything else I tested and
345. 9:48left out will be in the description. All
346. 9:49right, so if you're brand new to this,
347. 9:51don't install all of these today. I
348. 9:52think that would be extremely
349. 9:53overwhelming, cuz if something breaks,
350. 9:55you might not know which repo caused it.
351. 9:56So, just pick the one that fixes the
352. 9:58problem that you're currently kind of
353. 9:59running into the most. And if you're not
354. 10:01sure, then maybe start with the Google
355. 10:02CLI or Appy Pie or Scroll Craft. And you
356. 10:05might as well start with Humanizer
357. 10:06because that one is super super simple
358. 10:07as well. But, pull a list of businesses
359. 10:09with no website, you know, build one off
360. 10:11a sample page, clean up the copy, and
361. 10:12then send the link. No one's going to
362. 10:13pay you for a GitHub repo, those are
363. 10:15free, everyone can install them. So,
364. 10:16what you're selling is the thing that
365. 10:17you build around it that solves their
366. 10:20problem. And I'll put every repo from
367. 10:21this video inside the description of the
368. 10:23video so that you can just go ahead and
369. 10:25click on all of them right from there.
370. 10:27But anyways, that is going to do it for
371. 10:28this one. So, if you guys enjoyed and
372. 10:29you learned something new, please give
373. 10:30it a like, it helps me out a ton. And as
374. 10:31always, I appreciate you guys making it
375. 10:33to the end of the video. I'll see you on
376. 10:34the next one.
377. 10:35Peace, everyone.
