Claude Code CLI Toolkit: Four Tools for Code Review, Project Briefs, Auto-Journaling Git Hooks
A developer has released a set of four CLI tools built around Claude Code's -p (print mode) feature, which allows piping terminal output to Claude for structured responses without interactive sessions. The tools are designed for practical development workflows and use existing Claude Code authentication.
Tool Details
- ai-review: Run
ai-reviewin any git repository to send your diff to Claude for a code review. It provides a structured review with severity levels and a verdict. The creator reports it caught a real bug on first test: an Express.js route ordering issue where/:idwas matching before/filter, making the filter endpoint unreachable. - project-brief: Point it at any repository to read
package.json, README, git history, directory structure, and generate a full project overview. Useful for context-switching between multiple side projects. - devlog-hook: Install as a git post-commit hook to auto-generate a one-line AI summary of every commit and append it to a
DEVLOG.mdfile in your repository. Runs in the background to keep commits instant, uses Claude's Haiku model for speed and cost efficiency, creating an AI-powered development journal. - claude-status: A small Starship prompt module that shows when you're in a Claude Code session and displays how many MCP servers are active.
Installation and Source
The tools are open source at github.com/twitchyvr/claude-devkit. Install with:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/twitchyvr/claude-devkit/main/bin/install.sh | bashNo API keys are needed—the tools use your existing Claude Code authentication. The creator invites feedback, contributions, issues, and discussions, and welcomes information about similar existing projects.
