Small, tested tools for working with coding agents (Claude Code mostly), office files and a homelab LLM rig. Built while developing, used every day. Most are one standard-library Python package; all are Apache-2.0, have CI and a tagged release.
| repo | what it does | try it |
|---|---|---|
| codeindex | Local code index for agents: where a symbol is defined, who calls it, which tests cover it. Skill plus MCP server. | claude plugin install codeindex@decentralizeallengineering |
| zoomout | When an agent is stuck, restate the goal and choose: continue, pivot or simplify. | claude plugin install zoomout@decentralizeallengineering |
| pacekeeper | Claude Code usage pacing from the real 5h and 7d meters: targets, spend by project, a wind-down hook. | pip install git+https://github.com/decentralizeallengineering/pacekeeper |
The two plugin lines need this marketplace once:
claude plugin marketplace add decentralizeallengineering/decentralizeallengineering
Python tools install with pip install git+https://github.com/decentralizeallengineering/<repo>; single-file tools say so in their README.
| repo | what it does |
|---|---|
| donegate | Stop hook: no "done" unless a test ran after the last edit. |
| taskmine | Mine benchmark tasks from git history: tests red at the parent, green at the fix. |
| toolcensus | Count an agent's real tool calls; check them against another tool set (MCP, OpenAI, Anthropic). |
| freshlook | Independent audit of a repo by a clean agent that sees only code and intent. |
| anti-lobotomy | Audit a Claude Code setup for silent context loss. |
| intentpin | Pin your own words into every session start and compaction. |
| breakthroughs | Several cheap agents brainstorm; one stronger agent scores the ideas. |
| oldest-asks | Find what you asked your agents for that was never delivered, oldest first. |
| repo | what it does |
|---|---|
| turnthrift | Fewer turns: run many reads in one call; hooks nudge batching and short replies. |
| leanagents | Route subagents to small-prompt types and cheaper models. |
| autocontext | Pick context window and autocompact threshold from measured cost. |
| hushwire | Cut cross-session agent messages: status-only gate, digests, stats. |
| escalator | Cheap-first patches: a local model drafts, a stronger model fixes on red. |
| qsum | Extractive digests of long files through a local OpenAI-compatible endpoint. |
| repo | what it does |
|---|---|
| fleetwarden | Guardrail hooks and a launcher: protected dirs, rm and wait guards, agent routing. |
| supra-orchestrator | One orchestrator for many sessions: order ledger, cadence, escalation. |
| landbot | Local merge queue for agent branches: batch, gate, bisect, land. |
| billet | Hand a long session over to a fresh successor with a checked brief. |
| tickwise | Adaptive tick intervals: slow when nothing changes, fast on change. |
| diplomat | One idle watcher session per machine: alarms, load, tmux keepalive. |
| opsledger | Split a big order into deduped asks with evidence-backed status. |
| repo | what it does |
|---|---|
| xlsxops | Excel operations for LLM tool calls, with JSON schemas and safe saves. |
| docxops | Word operations for LLM tool calls, including a real table of contents. |
| pdfops | PDF text, tables, merge, split and form fill for LLM tool calls. |
| officecheck | Grade .docx, .xlsx, .pptx and .pdf outputs against a JSON spec, no model judge. |
| fakepii-docs | Fake-PII office documents with ground truth, to test maskers. |
| repo | what it does |
|---|---|
| llm-rig | Local LLM servers in libvirt VMs with GPU passthrough. |
| gpu-handoff | Move a GPU between a VM and the host without a reboot. |
| vmlease | Lease-based VM orchestration; a reaper reclaims. |
| modelstage | Staged GGUF model rollout with health gate and rollback. |
| gsched | GPU airtime scheduler with leases. |
| jobq | Heavy jobs in cgroup slices, one queue across machines. |
| rigwatch | GPU and VM safety: temperature, RAM and job guards. |
| nascare | NAS care: heat, spin-down, SMART, ZFS error growth. |
| corsair-fans | Temperature-driven fans for a Corsair Commander Core on Linux. |
| repo | what it does |
|---|---|
| trash30 | A trash folder that empties itself after 30 days. |
| addonly | Put a file into a folder you only ever add to; never overwrites. |
| uistrings | Pull UI strings from HTML and JS; flag filler, emoji, long labels. |
