I added rubber duck reviews to Claude Code using Copilot CLI 👀 I can now review changes using any of the supported models from GitHub Copilot, straight from Claude Code!

UniGetUI lets you find, install, and manage the Windows apps you actually want to use from one convenient place.

This Single Free App Replaces the Broken Windows 11 Store

The WinGet command-line tool is the best Windows feature most people don’t know about. Much like the Advanced Package Tool (APT) package manager on Linux, it effectively enables you to download and update applications without searching for an installer from the web or visiting the Microsoft Store. For reference, you also use WinGet to install Windows Developer Config setups and to take advantage of some other developer features.

I'm thinking of creating custom subagents in Claude Code that wrap Copilot CLI, enabling usage of non-Anthropic models for reviewing changes. The holy grail would be /rubber-duck that almost looks and feels the same as in GitHub Copilot app, using Copilot CLI under the hood

Argh. Claude Code for Windows has exactly the same problem I had gotten fixed in the GitHub Copilot app: making the mistake of loading only the system-level PATH while forgetting the user-level PATH. None of the tools installed in user context, especially MSIX packages, work 👇

I hate to admit, but I find Claude Code's CI integration much simpler to use and reliable than the GitHub Copilot app agent merge feature. It makes CI and PR state visible where you prompt while remaining compact. With GitHub Copilot, it just says it "checked" instead

Does anyone know if it's possible in Claude Code to see queued "chips" or "suggested tasks" after the pop up dialog is dismissed? It seems shortsighted to have such a feature require that you take action *now* for follow-up tasks that would normally be done later

What are the best agent skills package manager CLIs today? skills.sh is installed through npx, which makes it harder to deploy enterprise-wide. "gh skills" is interesting, but too GitHub-oriented, and I'm hitting performance issues for large agent skills.

I have a very large agent skill, and "gh skill install awakecoding/openspecs windows-protocols" takes forever, and even hits GitHub API rate limits. Is there a better way to distribute agent skills for faster downloads and stability with the GitHub CLI?
