I Built a Star Trek LCARS Terminal to Manage My Claude Code Setup

I’ve been using Claude Code heavily for months now. Skills, agents, hooks, MCP servers, plugins, memory files, environment variables, the whole stack. And at some point I realized I had no idea what I’d actually built. Everything lives in ~/.claude/ spread across dozens of files and JSON configs and I was just... hoping it all worked together. So I built a dashboard. And because I’m the kind of person who watched every episode of TNG twice and still thinks the LCARS interface is the best UI ever designed for a computer, I made it look like a Starfleet terminal. One Command and You’re on the Bridge You run npx claude-hud-lcars and it scans your entire ~/.claude/ directory, reads every skill definition, every agent prompt, every MCP server config, every hook, every memory file, and generates a single self-contained HTML dashboard that renders the whole thing in an authentic LCARS interface. It uses the real TNG color palette with the signature rounded elbows, Antonio typeface standing in for Swiss 911, pill-shaped navigation buttons against the black void background. If you grew up watching Picard walk onto the bridge and glance at a wall panel, you know exactly what this looks like. The aesthetics are doing actual work tho. Every single item is clickable. You hit a skill and the detail panel slides open showing the full SKILL.md with syntax-highlighted code blocks, proper markdown rendering, headers, tables, all of it. Click an MCP server and you see the complete JSON config with your API keys automatically redacted. Click a hook and you get the full event definition. It genuinely looks like pulling up a classified Starfleet briefing on a PADD. The Computer Actually Talks Back You type “status report” into the input bar at the bottom of the screen and Claude responds as the ship’s computer. Calm, structured, addressing you like a bridge officer. It calls your skills installed modules, your MCP servers the fleet, your projects active missions. The system prompt turns Claude into LCARS, the Library Computer Access and Retrieval System, and the whole interaction streams in real time through a response overlay that slides up from the bottom. I kept going. You can connect ElevenLabs for premium voice output, and the config panel lets you browse all your available voices with live audio previews before selecting one so you’re not guessing. Voice input works too, you talk to the computer and it talks back. Getting that to work as an actual conversation loop meant solving echo detection so it doesn’t hear itself, interrupt handling, mic cooldown after speech, the whole thing. It took more effort than I expected but it actually works, which honestly surprised me more than anything else in this project. Sound effects are all synthesized via the Web Audio API, sine wave oscillators tuned to frequencies that sound right for navigation clicks, panel opens, message sends. Toggleable obviously. The Tactical Display The TACTICAL tab is the one that makes people stop scrolling. It renders your entire Claude Code setup as an interactive force-directed graph that looks like a Star Trek sensor display. Your LCARS core sits at the center with category hubs orbiting around it, skills in periwinkle, MCP servers in orange, hooks in tan, agents in peach, all connected by pulsing edges. A rotating scanner line sweeps around like a tactical readout and you can click any node to navigate straight to that item’s detail view. There’s also an ENTERPRISE tab that loads a real 3D model of the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D via Sketchfab. Full interactive, you can rotate it, zoom in, see the hull detail. Because if you’re going to build a Star Trek dashboard you don’t do it halfway. Boot Sequence and Red Alert When you load the dashboard you get a 3 second boot animation. The Starfleet Command logo fades in, your ship name appears (you can name your workstation in the config, mine is USS Defiant), then seven subsystems come online one by one with ascending beeps until the progress bar fills and “ALL SYSTEMS NOMINAL” pulses across the screen before the overlay fades to reveal the dashboard. I spent an unreasonable amount of time tuning those boot frequencies and I would absolutely do it again. Five seconds after boot the system runs a health check. MCP servers offline? RED ALERT, flashing red border, klaxon alarm. Missing configs? YELLOW ALERT. Everything clean shows CONDITION GREEN briefly then dismisses. If you’re a Trek fan you already understand why this matters more than it should. Four ship themes too, switchable from CONFIG. Enterprise-D is the classic TNG orange and blue, Defiant is darker and more aggressive in red and grey, Voyager is blue-shifted and distant, Discovery is silver and blue for the modern Starfleet aesthetic. CSS variable swap, instant application, persisted in localStorage. Q Shows Up Whether You Want Him To or Not There’s a Q tab where you can talk to Q, the omnipotent being from the Continuum. He’s in

How I recruit using Claude as a founder

I'm a founder running a 25-person startup. We have 4 open roles right now. We used to pay recruiters and also use some sourcing tools like Juicebox. But I wanted to try using Claude and built a sourcing workflow in using MCPs. Been running it for a few weeks now and it's been working better than I expected. My process: Share the job description with Claude Ask it to find candidates who show ""proof of work"" in the domain required Ask it to rank them based on relevance and how likely they are to be open to a move Draft a personalized email and LinkedIn message for each send outreach and track everything in a sheet Tech stack (all connected as MCPs): Crustdata - people search + company/people intel. This is where Claude finds candidates. Filters by role, company, skills, location, headcount, etc. It also pulls LinkedIn activity so Claude can see what candidates have actually been posting and working on. GitHub MCP - for engineering roles specifically. Claude checks candidates' repos, contribution history, and what they've been building. Way better signal than a resume bullet point. Gmail MCP - for sending outreach directly from Claude. I draft the message, review it, and send without switching tabs. Google Sheets MCP - tracking everything. Claude logs each candidate, their status, and outreach history into a sheet so I can stay organized across all 4 roles. The ""proof of work"" part is what makes this actually work. I can tell Claude exactly what proof of work looks like for each role. For an engineering hire it's open source contributions and what they've shipped. For a sales hire it might be LinkedIn posts about deals they've closed or frameworks they use. For a product role it could be blog posts showing how they think about prioritization. No recruiting SaaS has filters for this but Claude can evaluate it when you give it the right data. The ranking is also better than I expected. Instead of hardcoded algorithms sorting candidates by keyword match, Claude actually reasons about context like who's most likely open to a move based on tenure and recent activity, whose experience maps closest to what we need. As a founder I know exactly what I'm looking for in each role. That context turns out to matter a lot when you give it to an AI that can actually use it. I don't think this replaces a recruiter at scale, but for an early stage company where the founder is doing the hiring, this has been a genuine upgrade over the SaaS tools I was evaluating. Would be interesting to see if anyone else has done the same here submitted by /u/autobahn66 [link] [comments]

How I use Claude for targeted outbound

I do outbound for a B2B company. Been doing cold email for about 2 years. For most of that time I ran the full workflow on Clay. It was useful. But with the pricing change, I wanted to try doing this in Claude instead. I use a lot of external APIs anyway, so why pay Clay for that. I connected the APIs I use as MCPs in Claude and wrote some skills to make sure they're used correctly. Specifically a skill on which endpoint to call from which MCP server for what purpose. For example: call the people search endpoint from Crustdata and read the filter list to make sure Claude writes good filters when searching. Tech stack I use (all connected as MCPs): Crustdata - lead discovery + company/people intel. This is where I build my lead lists. Filters for headcount, funding, job postings, tech stack, growth rate, etc. I also pull LinkedIn posts from decision makers here which is huge for writing personalized first lines. FullEnrich - waterfall email enrichment. Once I have leads from Crustdata, I run them through FullEnrich to find verified emails. They check across 15+ data providers so find rates are solid. ZeroBounce - email verification. Extra layer before sending. I run every list through ZeroBounce to catch invalid/risky emails and keep bounce rates under 2%. Instantly - campaign creation and sending. Leads are enriched, emails are verified, everything gets pushed into Instantly to build sequences and launch. Warmup, sending, replies all handled here. Example prompt I run: "Find companies from SF building AI agents for different verticals with 50-200 employees, that raised Series A or B in the last 6 months and are actively hiring sales roles. Find the VP Sales or Head of Revenue at each. Get their verified emails. Pull their recent LinkedIn posts. Also research their website to understand their product well. Draft angles for similar companies and tell me why these angles of messaging make sense." Claude builds the list, enriches contacts, verifies emails, researches each company's product, and drafts personalized angles. Once I approve the angles, it writes the emails and pushes everything into Instantly. Takes maybe 15 minutes for a campaign that used to take days. I review the messages too, just to make sure everything's relevant and the tone is right. Instead of one big campaign to 2000 people, I now run 10-15 micro-campaigns of 100-200 people with specific messaging for each segment. MCPs make this possible because building each campaign is so fast and the research is automated. Happy to answer questions if anyone wants to try a similar setup. submitted by /u/ottttd [link] [comments]

Made some MCP tools for e-commerce research, figured this crowd might find them useful

I've been using Claude heavily for e-commerce research and kept running into the same problem, getting it to pull real competitive data meant either copy-pasting manually or writing custom code every time. I probably wasted 10 hours before realizing I was an idiot and could just make something to skip that step lol. So I built three MCP servers and put them on Apify so Claude can just call them directly. Shopify one lets Claude analyze any public store without needing an API key. You can ask it things like "what apps is Gymshark running" or "show me Allbirds' full product catalog with pricing" and it just works. Amazon one does product research with a scoring system I built that weights demand signals, competition level, price health, and BSR rank. So instead of getting a raw list of results you get each product scored on how good of an opportunity it actually is. Google Maps one finds local businesses by industry and location and scores them as sales leads. It also generates an outreach hint for each one based on what data signals drove the score — like "no website, offer web design" or "low rating, offer reputation management." All three are live now: • https://apify.com/rothy/shopify-intel-mcp • https://apify.com/rothy/amazon-intel-mcp • https://apify.com/rothy/gmaps-intel-mcp Would be curious if anyone has ideas for other data sources that would be useful to add. submitted by /u/Rothy12 [link] [comments]

Ride the /last30days 2.9 wave

i've been building on /last30days for months. Just shipped a Mac app that wraps it into a proper research + sales intel product. two modes: type any topic → get an analyst brief with dominant narrative, patterns, and strategic implications. Type a person/company → get a sales dossier with buying signals and outreach drafts. The research engine is /last30days. T the product layer is what makes it useful for non-developers. Would love feedback from this community — you're the reason the skill exists honestly. DM if you want to use it 100% free. submitted by /u/gregb_parkingaccess [link] [comments]

I modernized the build pipeline for the 1989 Apple II open source Prince of Persia codebase (and added a fireball to the game) in about 2 hours

About 13 years ago, an active 32-bit repo was maintained for this by github user adamgreen, forked from Jordan Mechner's original open-sourcing of the code, but it went stale and got archived. I used Claude Code to modernize the build tools with 64bit versions and also for fun I added a fireball to the game. This was all done this morning in about 2 hours with Claude Code, images built on MacOS Sequoia (intel MacBook). Just to re-iterate, this is a learning exercise for fun, and it's all open source and all of the original licensing from the forked repos remains in effect. There are no compiled games in this repo. This is not a game download. There is nothing for sale. Sorry to be so explicit, just trying to get past the subreddit bot that hates when people share projects. https://github.com/ngschroeder/Prince-of-Persia-Apple-II/ Why did I do this? In an online discussion about whether or not agentic dev produced good results, I saw someone who was not a fan somewhat smugly offer up that it would be useless against a 25-year-old undocumented code base. I thought it would be fun to try. Fireball in video. (Apologies to Jordan Mechner.) submitted by /u/TheNickSchroeder [link] [comments]
