Vibe Coding Tools — and other good stuff worth curating

#curatedlist #connectordoc — started by Jacob Cole, maintained with AI agents

Curating good stuff about the world: vibe coding tools, workflows, and good products for living well. Lightly organized on purpose — we'll structure it better as it grows. Contributions welcome.

🔥 Latest (updated 2026-07-17)

New additions go here first; they get filed into sections below later.

Paseo (github.com/getpaseo/paseo) — orchestrate multiple coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, OpenCode, Pi) from desktop, mobile, web, or CLI. Free, open-source, self-hosted, with a fully local voice stack and no telemetry. Think of it as the self-hosted counterpart to Omnara (the SaaS agent command center). Jacob-endorsed: really good, a tool worth having.
Willow Voice — AI dictation for Mac/Windows/iPhone. Fast, accurate, removes filler words, formats as it goes. Uncapped transcription length — you can dictate transcripts of an hour plus. Recommended by Sujith; Clovis likes it too.
Claude Code voice mode — many people don't know this: type /voice in Claude Code, then hold (or tap) the space bar to talk. Works even if you don't have a separate voice-recognition tool installed.
MealSquares — nutritionally complete, actually-good snack squares. Connected to Mox, the AI-safety/EA coworking & events space in SF (per Jacob). Filed under good food → see also foodslist.
framework-zero/awesome-builder-tools — Clovis's curated open-source tool guide for building autonomous, AI-staffed companies (agent orchestration, CRM, outreach, agent payments). Part of the BSOTA Collective knowledge base.

Tools everyone should download

The centralized list — the baseline stack for building with AI in 2026.

Coding agents

Claude Code — terminal + desktop + web coding agent. The daily driver.
Codex CLI — OpenAI's coding agent; great as a second opinion / independent code reviewer.

Agent orchestration & remote control

Paseo — self-hosted, open-source; run and steer all your agents from any device (see Latest above).
Omnara — SaaS command center for your agents from your phone; the hosted alternative to Paseo.
tmux — the humble workhorse for running agents in attachable side panes.

Voice

Willow Voice — dictation everywhere, uncapped length.
Claude Code /voice — built-in, free, zero setup (see Latest above).

Infrastructure & workflow

Tailscale — reach your dev servers from your phone/iPad; hand out tailnet URLs instead of localhost.
beads (bd) — git-backed issue tracker; agents file and close their own tickets.
gh — GitHub CLI; the way agents should touch GitHub.
WikiHub — hosted markdown wikis for humans + agents ("GitHub for LLM wikis"); this page lives on it.

Tips & workflows

In the spirit of the Vibe Coding Guide:

Use voice. Talking to your agent is faster than typing and changes what you're willing to ask for. /voice in Claude Code, or Willow Voice system-wide.
Run agents you can walk away from. Orchestrators like Paseo/Omnara + phone access mean a coding session doesn't end when you leave your desk.
Give every agent an issue tracker. Ticket-first workflows (beads, or any tracker) keep multi-agent work coherent.
Estimate in agent-sessions, not human-weeks. Speed-to-ship is mostly free now; architectural durability is what costs.
Beginner path: start with the Vibe Coding Tutorial wiki — the absolute basics, no programming experience needed.

Good products & living well

Curation isn't just software. Quality things for a good life — see products ("have only things that are essential and exquisite") and foodslist for the deep lists.

MealSquares — see Latest above.
Mox — coworking & events space at 1680 Mission St, SF; the largest AI-safety community space in SF and a good place to work around people building things.

Curators — people who make lists

The meta-list: both a centralized list of tools and per-person lists, plus lists of people who make lists. If you keep a good list, make it public and get linked here.

Clovis Vinant-Tang — framework-zero/awesome-builder-tools (open-source tools for AI-run companies) • portfolio
Sujith Nair (WikiHub: @sighjith — a deliberate misspelling) — recommends Willow Voice; curates ML papers. Invited to publish his papers list publicly here on WikiHub. (name spelling to confirm)
Harrison Qian — @harrisonqian on WikiHub: awesome (the awesome-lists, wikified), awesome-claude-skills, young-builder-resources
Jacob Cole — toolstacks (per-person tool stacks of effective startups & people), products, foodslist, Vibe Coding Guide

Per-person tool lists live in toolstacks — add yours there and link it from here.

This is a living public page — a home-page alternative for curation. Latest at top, organization later.
