Substantial revision of dolgolyov-git-release-publisher SKILL.md. New steps: - Step 2: pre-flight guards (branch, remote sync, duplicate tag, dirty tree) - Step 4: pre-release checks - detect project type, inspect CI config, run tests/lint/typecheck/build locally before tagging - Step 15: post-tag CI watch (link-only or poll until run finishes) Improvements: - SSH remote support in Step 1 - Detect prerelease tags separately in Step 3 - NUL-separated git log + BREAKING CHANGE: body scan in Step 5 - Prerelease version bumps (-rc.N / -beta.N / -alpha.N) in Step 8 - Mode A (RELEASE_NOTES.md overwrite) vs Mode B (CHANGELOG.md prepend) in Step 11 - Signed-tag detection in Step 14 New edge cases: redo-after-CI-failure flow, signed tags, tag-already-on-HEAD. Also updates the one-line description in claude-code-tools.md and bumps README last-updated date.

Claude Code Tools & Extensions
Useful tools, plugins, and extensions for Claude Code.
MCP Servers
MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers are external processes that provide tools to Claude Code via a standardized protocol. They run alongside your session and extend Claude's capabilities.
Context7
Up-to-date documentation and code examples for any library, available directly in your Claude Code session.
-
Website: https://context7.com/
-
Setup:
claude mcp add --scope user --transport http context7 https://mcp.context7.com/mcp --header "CONTEXT7_API_KEY: <YOUR_API_KEY>" -
Note: API key can be created for free after signing in at context7.com
code-review-graph
Builds a Tree-sitter–based structural graph of the codebase (callers, callees, imports, tests, blast radius) and exposes it as an MCP server. Lets Claude scope reviews to the minimal affected set instead of scanning whole projects — the project README reports ~8x fewer tokens on code reviews and up to ~49x on daily tasks.
-
Repository: https://github.com/tirth8205/code-review-graph
-
Setup:
pip install code-review-graph code-review-graph install # auto-configures Claude Code / Cursor / WindsurfThen restart the editor and build the graph for the current repo via the
build_or_update_graph_tool. -
Languages: 23+ including Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, Go, Rust, Java, plus Jupyter notebooks.
-
Key tools:
detect_changes,get_review_context,get_impact_radius,get_affected_flows,query_graph,semantic_search_nodes,get_architecture_overview.
VS MCP Server (Visual Studio)
Visual Studio 2022/2026 extension that exposes the IDE itself over MCP — solutions/projects, document I/O, editor navigation, build status, debugging (breakpoints, stepping, variable inspection), error list, and window control. Useful when working on .NET/C++ solutions where Claude Code needs to drive the actual Visual Studio session rather than just edit files on disk.
- Marketplace: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=CodingWithCalvin.VS-MCPServer
- Setup: Install from Extensions → Manage Extensions in Visual Studio (search "MCP Server"), or download the
.vsix. Start via Tools → MCP Server → Start Server (defaults tohttp://localhost:5050). - Note: This is a Visual Studio extension, not VS Code — despite the
marketplace.visualstudio.comURL, which hosts both.
Skills (Slash Commands)
Skills are a different extension mechanism from MCPs. They are prompt-based extensions invoked via /skill-name commands directly within Claude Code — no external server required.
Installing .skill packages
Skills are distributed as .skill files (ZIP archives containing a SKILL.md and optional scripts).
Manual extraction (works everywhere, including VS Code extension):
# Python one-liner
python -c "import zipfile; zipfile.ZipFile('my-skill.skill').extractall('$HOME/.claude/skills')"
Skills are extracted into ~/.claude/skills/<skill-name>/. They become available in the next Claude Code session.
AST Index
Fast code search skill for Claude Code — find classes, symbols, usages, implementations, and more across large codebases using AST parsing.
- Repository: https://github.com/defendend/Claude-ast-index-search
- Usage: Invoke with
/ast-indexor related commands like "find class", "search for symbol", etc.
Packaged Skills
Packaged .skill files available in the skills/ directory:
- dolgolyov-dev-facts — Sync local project configuration with the central claude-code-facts knowledge base.
- dolgolyov-git-release-publisher — Generate release notes and push release tags for repos hosted on Gitea or GitHub. Runs pre-release checks (tests / lint / typecheck), pre-flight guards (branch, remote sync, duplicate tag, dirty tree), and post-tag CI watch. Supports
RELEASE_NOTES.mdoverwrite orCHANGELOG.mdprepend modes and prerelease versions (-rc.N,-beta.N,-alpha.N). - feature-planner — Plan and develop complex features using a structured, phase-based workflow with git integration, Markdown plans, review gates, and controlled merging.
