I want to build a product website with original visuals and accessible motion. Read the relevant guide and skill references. Explain the choices that fit my project, check current upstream docs, and propose one small first step. ``` After trying a workflow, you can ask the agent to draft a correction or write up your result using the [contribution guide](CONTRIBUTING.md). Include what actually ran, what failed and what you changed. ## Why this list The library connects tool references with guides, skills and workflows for using them. Contributions should help a reader complete a task or make a better choice. A tool listing needs a working example and a reason to choose it over existing options; a live landing page alone is not enough. ## Legend - 🔌 **API** — has a public developer API - 🧩 **MCP** — has an official Model Context Protocol server (agent-callable) - 🆓 **Free** — has a usable free tier - 🔓 **Open** — open weights / open source --- ## ⭐ The Starter Stack New to building solo? **This is the first stack every solopreneur should know** — one solid pick per layer.

See [the guide](guides/edit-video-with-claude.md). **Where is the HeyGen MCP / where is the Higgsfield MCP?** [HeyGen ships an official MCP server](mcp/heygen.md). [Higgsfield is API-first](mcp/higgsfield.md) — drive it from an agent via its REST API or a thin MCP wrapper until an official server lands. **How do solo builders make talking-head / avatar videos at scale?** Clone yourself once in [HeyGen](#ai-avatars--talking-heads) or [Argil](#ai-avatars--talking-heads), then generate from scripts via API. Full pipeline in [the playbook](playbooks/faceless-content-factory.md). **How do I write production code with AI and avoid AI slop?** Use a verify-driven loop, tight scope, and review gates — see [Eliminate AI-slop code](guides/kill-ai-slop-code.md). **How do I build no-code automations between AI tools?** Use [n8n](#automation--agent-frameworks) or [Make](#automation--agent-frameworks); guide [here](guides/automations-without-code.md). **What is the ui-ux-pro-max skill?** [ui-ux-pro-max](skills/ui-ux-pro-max.md) is a Claude Code skill that gives the agent a design knowledge base — 50+ styles, 161 color palettes, and font pairings — so it produces a coherent, non-generic design system from a single prompt, no designer needed. **What is the ponytail skill?** [ponytail](skills/ponytail.md) is a Claude Code skill that makes the agent prefer native platform features over hand-built code — "think like the laziest senior dev" — cutting roughly half the code it writes and reducing token cost. **What is the best Claude skill for SEO?** [claude-seo](skills/claude-seo.md) is the most complete Claude Code SEO skill: technical audits, schema, E-E-A-T, backlinks, and GEO optimization for AI search, with PDF/Excel reports. --- ## Contributing Publish a guide, skill or playbook, or improve an existing one.
