What it does
The claude-code-tips repository is a collection of Claude Code techniques, and its installable part is the dx plugin, which packages several of those techniques into ready commands. The gha command triages why a GitHub Actions run failed from a link, handoff prepares a document to carry context into a new session, and half-clone and quarter-clone trim conversation history to save context. There are commands to search across all your GitHub repositories including private ones, to digest Reddit and Hacker News threads, to check the Claude Code version and to review CLAUDE.md files. It installs with two commands through the built-in marketplace, after which the commands are available under the dx prefix.
Who it is for. For developers who work in Claude Code daily and want ready commands for frequent routine tasks.
Good fit when
- A GitHub Actions run failed and you need the cause fast from a link
- The conversation grew large and it is time to hand context to a new session
- You need to find something across all your repositories, including private ones
Not a fit when
- You do not work in Claude Code, the plugin targets it
- You want the tips collection to read rather than installable commands
Example request
Explain why this GitHub Actions run failed, here is the linkLimitations
The plugin targets Claude Code. The search and digest commands reach external services: GitHub, Reddit, Hacker News, so you need access to them and rights to your own repositories. The repository license is stated as All Rights Reserved, which is worth noting before reusing the code.
How to disable. Remove the dx plugin via claude plugin, and if needed drop the ykdojo marketplace from your sources.
Security check
- Commands reach external services GitHub, Reddit and Hacker News

README in short
The README gathers more than forty Claude Code techniques, from basics to advanced, including a status line setup and running the agent in a container. A separate section describes the dx plugin, which packages some techniques into commands: GitHub Actions triage, half-clone and quarter-clone for context savings, context handoff, repository search, Reddit and Hacker News digests, version checks and CLAUDE.md review. The plugin installs with two marketplace commands. There is also a quick setup script for several recommendations at once.
FAQ
How is this different from the tips list in the README?
The tips list is text to read. The dx plugin is the installable part that turns several tips into commands under the dx prefix.
Does the search command see private repositories?
Yes, private-github-search searches across all your GitHub repositories, including private ones, given the right access.
