If you're anything like me, your day is full of re-Googling terminal commands, rewriting the same AI prompts, and digging through notes for a snippet you know you saved.

CommandIt fixes that.

One hotkey → instantly find any command or prompt → auto-fill dynamic args → paste into any app.

Snippets aren't static either. They can resolve live context at paste time:
- {{env:USER}} → your username
- clipboard contents
- current date or even live shell output

It also has built-in AI (on-device or cloud):
- auto-detect dynamic args
- generate descriptions
- improve commands

Use local models, or plug in OpenAI, Anthropic (Claude), or your own API.

CommandIt runs a local MCP server + CLI. Your AI agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini) can:
- search your snippets
- use them directly
- even create new ones

Your personal command library becomes something your agents can use too.

Free tier is unlimited. The Plus tier adds iCloud sync, multi-snippet composition, semantic search, and more.

Local-first. No account, no cloud required.

I just open-sourced agent-skills — a skill and plugin library for AI coding agents 🚀

https://t.co/gFQBbgmRFt

Tired of re-explaining your workflow every session? These skills will teach your agent how your project actually works — auto-discovered from your repo.

I've created two skills you can try:

project-planner
Tell your coding agent "search is broken on special characters" → files a bug with repro steps using your repo's issue template. Tell it "I have an idea for dark mode" → creates a phased proposal with linked GitHub issues.

docs-sync
Merge a PR that changes your data model? Finds which docs are stale and drafts updates to your architecture doc, feature list, whatever's affected.

Works with Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and OpenClaw.

Give it a try and let me know how it goes.

After 12½ years at Google, I'm building in the open.

Just open-sourced ash_multi_account — Google-style account switching for Elixir Phoenix apps built on Ash Framework + AshAuthentication.

Link multiple auth methods across accounts, switch seamlessly. Extracted from what I'm building at https://t.co/VVEv3d44hx.

@Stephen_Parker I'm actually quite disappointed myself. Very underwhelmed.
