[Other] Show HN: Claude Code Manager I built this for myself but I figured why not share.<p>The aim of CCM is to be able to fully manage all Claude Code configuration files, both globally and those in your project.<p>Some neat features:<p>- Manages your CLAUDE.md, rules, hooks, agents, memories and so on.<p>- Elevate memories to rules<p>- Copy&#x2F;Move any asset from one scope to another, or elevate it to global scope<p>- Install marketplaces and plugins<p>The full app is embedded right on the site as a demo so you can try it out.<p>I&#x27;m happy to receive feedback, I know it&#x27;s not perfect. Thanks for taking a look.

[Other] Show HN: Nimbus – Browser with Claude Code UX Hi HN, I&#x27;m Anil. Nimbus is a desktop browser with an AI agent built into it. The UX is shamelessly inspired by Claude Code: a chat bar at the bottom, an agent log above it, and the webpage itself when its needed.<p>This is mainly a UX experiment for me. And also the reason it isn&#x27;t a Chrome extension: once you have a chat bar that understands intent, the URL field is redundant. You shouldn&#x27;t have two places to tell the browser what you want. I didn&#x27;t want to bolt an agent onto an existing browser&#x27;s chrome and end up with duplicated controls everywhere — I wanted full freedom to redesign the shell from scratch, decide what stays, what goes, and what a browser even looks like when the agent is the primary interface.<p><pre><code> Download for macOS: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;usenimbus.app Launch video: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;dj23-XIiB1o</code></pre>

[Other] Show HN: Browser Harness – simplest way to give AI control of real browser Hey HN,<p>We got tired of browser frameworks restricting the LLM, so we removed the framework and gave the LLM maximum freedom to do whatever it&#x27;s trained on. We gave the harness the ability to self correct and add new tools if the LLM wants (is pre-trained on) that.<p>Our Browser Use library is tens of thousands of lines of deterministic heuristics wrapping Chrome (CDP websocket). Element extractors, click helpers, target managemenet (SUPER painful), watchdogs (crash handling, file downloads, alerts), cross origin iframes (if you want to click on an element you have to switch the target first, very anoying), etc.<p>Watchdogs specifically are extremely painful but required. If Chrome triggers for example a native file popup the agent is just completely stuck. So the two solutions are to: 1. code those heuristics and edge cases away 1 by 1 and prevent them 2. give LLM a tool to handle the edge case<p>As you can imagine - there are crazy amounts of heuristics like this so you eventually end up with A LOT of tools if you try to go for #2. So you have to make compromises and just code those heuristics away.<p>BUT if the LLM just &quot;knows&quot; CDP well enough to switch the targets when it encounters a cross origin iframe, dismiss the alert when it appears, write its own click helpers, or upload function, you suddenly don&#x27;t have to worry about any of those edge cases.<p>Turns out LLMs know CDP pretty well these days. So we bitter pilled the harness. The concepts that should survive are: - something that holds and keeps CDP websocket alive (deamon) - extremely basic tools (helpers.py) - skill.md that explains how to use it<p>The new paradigm? SKILL.md + a few python helpers that need to have the ability to change on the fly.<p>One cool example: We forgot to implement upload_file function. Then mid-task the agent wants to upload a file so it grepped helpers.py, saw nothing, wrote the function itself using raw DOM.setFileInputFiles (which we only noticed that later in a git diff). This was a relly magical moment of how powerful LLMs have become.<p>Compared to other approaches (Playwright MCP, browser use CLI, agent-browser, chrome devtools MCP): all of them wrap Chrome in a set of predefined functions for the LLM. The worst failure mode is silent. The LLM&#x27;s click() returns fine so the LLM thinks it clicked, but on this particular site nothing actually happened. It moves on with a broken model of the world. Browser Harness gives the LLM maximum freedom and perfect context for HOW the tools actually work.<p>Here are a few crazy examples of what browser harness can do: - plays stockfish <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;x.com&#x2F;shawn_pana&#x2F;status&#x2F;2046457374467379347" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;x.com&#x2F;shawn_pana&#x2F;status&#x2F;2046457374467379347</a> - sets a world record in tetris <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;x.com&#x2F;shawn_pana&#x2F;status&#x2F;2047120626994012442" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;x.com&#x2F;shawn_pana&#x2F;status&#x2F;2047120626994012442</a> - figures out how to draw a heart with js <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;x.com&#x2F;mamagnus00&#x2F;status&#x2F;2046486159992480198?s=20" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;x.com&#x2F;mamagnus00&#x2F;status&#x2F;2046486159992480198?s=20</a><p>You can super easily install it by telling claude code: `Set up <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;browser-use&#x2F;browser-harness" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;browser-use&#x2F;browser-harness</a> for me.`<p>Repo: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;browser-use&#x2F;browser-harness" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;browser-use&#x2F;browser-harness</a><p>What would you call this new paradigm?
