Claudette: Stop Claude's BuzzFeed-Style Responses

Hacker News •

Adnan Akil built a Claude Code skill called /debuzz (aka "Claudette") that translates Claude's verbose, BuzzFeed-style responses into plain English using the Gemini CLI.

Claude tends to over-explain even simple bugs with dramatic flair—numbered revelations, solemn notes, and theatrical conclusions. The /debuzz skill sidesteps this by passing Claude's output directly to Gemini, which rewrites it without the clickbait tone.

The tool supports three modes: colleague (engineer-friendly, full detail), manager (high-level summary), and director (executive brief). It prints Gemini's output verbatim to avoid reintroducing Claude's voice.

Installation requires cloning the repo, placing it in Claude's skills directory, and authenticating the Gemini CLI. Usage is simple: run /debuzz or paste text after a mode flag.
