Nine tools for Claude users: plan review, AI-built UI, Mac apps, SEO audits, web design, social scheduling, job search and PDF tutoring. Start with one gap in your current workflow, not all nine. Public code doesn't remove Claude, API, hosting or media costs, and the sponsor deals and course are optional.
Epic take: what's worth doing
- Steal the review pattern first. Elephant-Goldfish = one agent keeps the full context and fresh-eyed checkers review the plan. We already run Reviewer/QC; compare before adding a plugin.
- Use claude-seo on one real site. It produces a prioritized fix list. Treat its score as a to-do list, not proof of ranking gains.
- Run Hallmark vs MotionSites on one Epic brief. Judge clarity, speed and accuracy, not only looks. Never let either invent testimonials.
- Postiz only if we want to own scheduling. It is free to self-host but needs Docker and upkeep; don't cancel an existing tool on a demo.
- DeepTutor for book/research PDFs. Good for "explain like I'm 12" study aids; check answers against the PDF.
- Skip the urgency. Sponsor credits and the course are optional; nothing here needs a purchase to evaluate.
Our recommendations, not Jack's words. Nothing was installed or tested by Epic for this page.
The 9 repos
Scroll the table sideways to see setup, cost and privacy notes. Keyboard: focus the table, then use the Left and Right arrows.
| # | Repo | What it does | Setup (per repo/guide) | Cost & privacy notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Elephant-Goldfish | Catches plan mistakes before Claude writes code | Claude Code plugin | Apache-2.0. Needs a Claude plan. |
| 2 | OpenUI | Turns AI answers into charts/dashboards | Clone, template, npm install, AI key | MIT. Model API usage costs; hosted version exists. |
| 3 | BAMA | Builds native Mac apps | Skill install via npx | MIT. Apple Developer Program (about $99/yr) is needed for App Store or Developer ID-signed distribution, not to build locally. Installs third-party code. |
| 4 | claude-seo | Audits a website, ranks fixes | Claude Code plugin | MIT. Needs Claude Code. |
| 5 | Hallmark | Less-generic website design skill | Global skill install via npx | MIT. |
| 6 | MotionSites | Motion-heavy website builder skill | Claude Code plugin | Skill code MIT; examples/media excluded from that licence. Full library is paid. |
| 7 | Postiz | All social posts on one calendar | Docker + docker compose, local web app | AGPL-3.0. Self-hosting cost/upkeep; paid hosted plan exists. Connects to your social accounts. |
| 8 | ai-job-search | Matches jobs to your CV, tailors applications | Clone, run Python installer, paste CV | MIT. README says Claude Code has no free tier. Your CV is personal data. |
| 9 | DeepTutor | Turns a PDF into a tutor with quizzes | pip install, init, start, AI key | Apache-2.0. Local models possible; paid APIs optional. |
Also mentioned (sponsored/paid): Honcho (AI memory across apps — sends conversation memory to a third party), Oxylabs (live web data API, usage-based), Jack's Agentic OS course. Repo details captured from each GitHub repo/API on 2026-11-07 (SAST); licences as stated by each repo, not legal advice.
Privacy, in one paragraph
Before trying any of these, check what each one reads and sends. Plugins and skills can read your code and files; SEO tools crawl your site; ai-job-search uses your CV; DeepTutor reads your PDFs; and most send prompts to a model provider under that provider's terms. Local models reduce, but don't automatically remove, exposure. Use sanitized test data, grant the fewest permissions, and review app and account access (social accounts for Postiz, memory for Honcho) before connecting.

Chapter notes (our paraphrase)
- 0:00 Intro: nine repos, ordered by difficulty; links in the description.
- 0:28 Elephant-Goldfish: a lead agent with full context plus fresh reviewers that check the plan before coding.
- 2:52 Honcho (sponsor): memory shared across AI apps; shows connecting it and asking Claude what it remembers.
- 4:58 OpenUI: AI answers rendered as interactive charts; set up from a template with an API key.
- 6:20 BAMA: describe a Mac app and the skill plans and builds it; demo is a focus/site-blocking app. Mentions Apple's developer fee for distribution.
- 9:18 claude-seo: audits a site and sorts fixes from critical to minor; he reports his score improving after fixes. Also promotes his course.
- 11:33 Oxylabs (sponsor): live web data for research agents, with promo credit.
- 12:58 Hallmark: a design skill that avoids the generic AI-website look, tested on a site brief.
- 14:48 MotionSites: the same brief with a motion-focused skill, compared side by side.
- 15:58 Postiz: self-hosted social scheduling via Docker, pitched as a Buffer alternative.
- 17:25 ai-job-search: paste a CV, get ranked jobs and tailored application drafts.
- 18:47 DeepTutor: load a PDF (his example: "Attention Is All You Need"), get simple explanations and quizzes.
- 19:33 Outro: points to a related video.
