Show HN: I built a tool that turns any API into a CLI for agents

TLDR; I built a tool that turns any API into a CLI designed for ai agents

---

Got tired of dealing with bloated context windows from MCP servers and skills that stuff entire API docs into the agent's context

CLIs fix this, agents run a single command to self-discover everything an API has to offer

So, built a tool to generate them for any api. All CLIs are written in Go, fast and lightweight, no dependencies

Help text (via the --help flag) is the killer feature: all context for each command/endpoint/parameter is extracted directly from the user-facing API docs and enhanced with llms. It's bundled directly with the CLI and agents fetch only what they need at runtime. No context overhead, no fumbled API calls.

Most APIs don't have a CLI yet. Can have Opus one-shot simple ones, but building a great one with cross-platform binaries, install scripts, detailed help text, and auto-updates takes time and is frustrating to repeat for every API. Maintaining it the API grows is a headache

Give InstantCLI any API docs url and it generates a production-ready CLI in minutes. It includes binaries + install scripts for all platforms, auto-updates as your API changes, docs-enhanced help text designed for agents, and hosting

Show HN: Panel Panic a Rust/Macroquad/WASM Panel de Pon/Tetris Attack Clone

Hacker News - Sun, 03/01/2026 - 12:18pm

Rust/macroquad game with single player AI mode, online VS, and local 1v1. All running via WASM in the browser.

Still WIP as art assets still need to be added and tweaked.

Full disclosure. Used Claude Opus, Nanobanana, and SunoAI a huge amount to do the heavy lifting for this project

Show HN: Free tools to understand your Claude Code usage (browser, no install)

Hacker News - Sun, 03/01/2026 - 12:14pm

I've been building Claude Code tools for the past 60 days — mostly because I couldn't stop asking "wait, how much time am I actually spending on this?"

The result is 41 zero-dependency tools. Some examples:

- *cc-wrapped*: Spotify Wrapped for Claude Code — drag in your ~/.claude folder, get a visual year-in-review - *cc-session-stats*: Session durations, streaks, health warnings if you've gone 3+ hours without a break - *cc-agent-load*: How much time is actually YOU vs AI subagents? Mine is 35% me, 65% AI - *cc-ghost-log*: "Ghost Days" — days you had zero Claude Code sessions but committed code anyway - *cc-impact*: What did you actually build? Commits, lines added, files changed across all your repos - *cc-peak*: When are you most focused? Hour-of-day heatmap + optimal 4-hour working window - *cc-collab*: Are you getting better at working with Claude Code? Weekly commits-per-hour efficiency trend - *cc-focus*: Are you spreading too thin? Weekly project scatter — mine went from 4 projects to 1 (converging -40%) - *cc-score*: 0–100 productivity score. I'm 89/100 (A — Power User) - *cc-burnout*: Same data, different angle. My burnout risk: 60/100 (High). High score ≠ sustainable. - *cc-monthly*: Monthly retrospective in Markdown — paste it straight into your dev blog - *cc-predict*: The only forward-looking tool — projects your month-end stats based on last 14 days

All 41 tools are free, MIT licensed, zero dependencies. Most run in browser (no install), CLI versions available via npx.

The raw numbers from 60+ days: 3,580 sessions, 142 hours, 40 Ghost Days, 563 commits, +305k net lines.
