VibeSmith: Local Tool for Detecting Skill Conflicts in Claude Code Projects
What VibeSmith Does
VibeSmith is a local desktop application built to address component management challenges in Claude Code projects. The developer created it after experiencing issues with component sprawl across multiple projects, including global skills in ~/.claude/ shadowing project-level ones with the same name, agents referencing skills that only exist in different projects, and hooks firing in unintended contexts.
Key Features
- Unified view: Shows every skill, agent, command, and hook across all projects plus global components in one place
- Conflict detection: Flags when global and project-level components share the same name, with side-by-side diff and priority indicator
- Dependency graph: DAG visualization showing which skills reference which others, including circular reference detection
- Context cost tracking: Token usage estimate per component to identify dead weight that loads into every conversation
Technical Details
The tool runs locally on macOS and processes data entirely on your machine—nothing leaves your system. It was built because existing solutions like CLI tools only handle file location but not content-level conflicts, and Cursor Marketplace is Cursor-only.
The developer's breaking point came when deleting a skill they thought was unused, only to discover two other skills referenced it, causing agents to silently produce worse output without explicit errors.

nervx: CLI tool reduces Claude Code token usage by analyzing codebase structure
nervx is a pip-installable CLI tool that parses repositories with tree-sitter, builds a SQLite graph of functions and imports, and generates a NERVX.md structural map. It automatically adds instructions to CLAUDE.md that teach Claude to use nervx navigation, reducing grep searches by 65% and output tokens by 48% in testing.
