claude-power-tools

Claude Power Tools is a small collection of skills for Claude Code, the AI coding assistant. The main idea is that Claude Code has several advanced features built into it, such as multi-agent workflows, recurring task loops, settings hooks, and custom skills, but users typically need to know these features exist before they can request them. This project adds a skill that watches for situations where those features would help and brings them up at the right moment without being asked.

The one skill currently in the repository is called suggest-power-tools. When you are working on a task, it looks for certain patterns in what you are doing. If you are doing the same kind of check across many files, it might propose setting up a multi-agent workflow. If you have a multi-step goal with no clear finish line, it might draft a goal statement with a concrete condition for knowing when it is done. If you are repeatedly running the same check or waiting for something like a CI build to finish, it might suggest setting up a scheduled loop. If you just described an automated behavior with phrasing like "from now on, when X happens," it would note that this needs a settings hook rather than just a remembered preference.

The proposal behavior is deliberately restrained: it makes one suggestion at a time, never stacks multiple proposals, and moves on without comment if you decline. Each proposal includes a concrete sketch of what it would look like and an honest estimate of the cost or effort involved.

Installing it means copying one directory into your Claude skills folder. It follows the standard SKILL.md format used by Claude Code, so it also works with other agent tools that read the same convention. The project is MIT licensed.
