Methodology

How We Score

Not everything makes the cut. We review every piece of content that appears on ClaudeSauce — trending items are scored on a 100-point scale, and directory resources go through a curation process before they're published.

Scoring Trending Content

Every day, we pull Claude Code content from GitHub, YouTube, Reddit, Hacker News, and DEV. Each item is evaluated on four criteria and given a score out of 100. Only items scoring 60 or above make it to the trending feed — that's our quality bar.

Relevance

40 / 100

How directly the content relates to Claude Code — the Anthropic CLI tool, its ecosystem, skills, plugins, MCP servers, and workflows.

Quality & Usefulness

30 / 100

Whether the content teaches something valuable, solves a real problem, or provides a resource worth bookmarking.

Community Engagement

20 / 100

Stars, upvotes, views, and comments relative to the platform. We weight engagement against platform norms — 500 GitHub stars means more than 500 YouTube views.

Recency & Timeliness

10 / 100

Newer content gets a slight edge. A fresh tutorial on a new Claude Code feature matters more than a dated overview.

The Quality Bar

We set the threshold at 60/100. This filters out tangentially related content, low-effort posts, and outdated material while keeping genuinely useful resources accessible. Scores are visible on every trending item so you can judge for yourself.

How Resources Are Curated

The directory doesn't use a point score. Instead, resources go through a curation pipeline:

Trusted Sources

We maintain a curated seed list of high-quality resources — official Anthropic tools, established community projects, and vetted MCP servers.

Community Awesome-Lists

We regularly crawl community-maintained awesome-lists on GitHub to discover new skills, plugins, and tools as the ecosystem grows.

Community Submissions

Anyone can submit a resource. Submissions are reviewed before they're published — we check that the link works, the description is accurate, and the resource is relevant to Claude Code.

Deduplication

Duplicate URLs are automatically filtered. If the same resource appears across multiple awesome-lists, we keep one entry with the best metadata.
