# NoBuzz

> A Claude Code skill (/debuzz) that pipes Claude's verbose, theatrical responses through Gemini via the Antigravity CLI to translate them into plain, direct English.

NoBuzz is an open-source Claude Code skill created by Adnan Akil that addresses a specific quirk of Claude's output style: its tendency to frame even routine engineering answers with dramatic structure, numbered revelations, and rhetorical flourishes. The skill, invoked as `/debuzz`, takes Claude's previous response and routes it through Google's Antigravity CLI (`agy`) — which calls Gemini — to produce a plain-English rewrite. It is released under the MIT License and available on GitHub.

## What It Is

NoBuzz is a Claude Code skill (a custom slash command) that acts as a post-processing filter for Claude's responses. Rather than trying to prompt Claude into a different voice — which the README notes "no amount of prompting fully cures" — it accepts the output as-is and hands it to a separate model (Gemini, via the Antigravity CLI) whose sole job is to restate the content without theatrics. The result is the same technical information — file paths, code blocks, error details — delivered in the register of a direct colleague rather than a TED talk.

## How the Translation Works

The mechanism is deliberately simple. When `/debuzz` is invoked, Claudette (the informal name used in the README) writes Claude's previous reply to a temporary file, then runs `agy -p "$(cat <file>) <plain-English style instructions>"` in headless mode. Antigravity's output is printed verbatim — Claude is explicitly instructed not to "tidy up" the translation, because doing so would reintroduce the voice being removed. If `agy` errors (typically an auth issue), the actual error is surfaced; Claude only offers its own rewrite as a clearly labeled fallback.

## Output Modes

The `/debuzz` command supports three audience-targeted modes:

- **colleague** (default) — Same technical content, all file paths and code blocks preserved, zero theatrics; aimed at a fellow engineer
- **manager** — What happened, why it matters, what's next; roughly one-third the length of the original, no code
- **director** — Three to five sentences covering outcome, impact, and ask; assumes thirty seconds of attention

The command also responds to natural-language triggers like "say that in normal english," and accepts pasted text as an argument if you want to translate something other than Claude's last reply.

## Setup Path

Installation requires cloning the repository and copying the `debuzz` skill directory into `~/.claude/skills/`. Two dependencies are needed: Claude Code and the Antigravity CLI (`agy`), which is installed via a shell script and requires a one-time Google Sign-In flow. The skill works on macOS, Linux, and Windows.

## Why It Got Attention

The repository accumulated 214 stars within days of being created (created 2026-08-21, last updated 2026-08-26 per GitHub metadata), suggesting the frustration it addresses resonates broadly among Claude Code users. The README's before/after example — contrasting Claude's "load-bearing assumption" phrasing with a terse, actionable bug summary — makes the value proposition immediately legible to anyone who has used Claude for code review or debugging.
