Latitude is an observability platform specifically tuned for Claude Code usage. It captures every turn an agent runs — the prompts, tool calls, bash output, files touched, system prompt, and the tool schemas Claude Code composes at runtime — then surfaces it as cost breakdowns per prompt, per session, and per workspace. The platform routes Claude Code traffic through Latitude's instrumentation layer, giving engineering teams real visibility into what their AI coding agent is actually doing versus what they expect it to do. Teams can trace expensive tool-call chains, spot runaway loops, identify which slash-commands are budget-efficient, and attribute costs to specific tasks or repos without wading through raw OpenTelemetry traces. In a world where Claude Code rate limits and API costs are a real engineering budget concern, Latitude fills a genuine observability gap. It launched on Product Hunt today with 150 votes and complements Claude Code's native OpenTelemetry support by adding a human-readable interface and cost attribution dashboard that raw traces simply don't give you.

React Doctor is a one-command static analysis tool that scans your React codebase and outputs a health score from 0 to 100 alongside a detailed diagnostic report. Run `npx react-doctor@latest .` and it identifies anti-patterns across six dimensions: state & effects, performance, architecture, security, accessibility, and dead code. It auto-detects your framework (Next.js, Vite, React Native) and React version, adjusting rules accordingly. The tool was built by Million.co—the team behind the Million.js performance library—and is clearly aimed at the post-AI-coding era. Its killer feature might be the "agent instruction installation" mode: it teaches Claude Code, Cursor, and other coding agents the project's quality rules, so future agent-written code conforms to them before React Doctor even runs. It also integrates with GitHub Actions and can post PR comments with health score diffs, making it easy to catch regressions before merge. With 8.7K stars and one of today's fastest-growing GitHub repos, the timing is perfect. Developers are increasingly shipping agent-written React code they didn't review line by line, and React Doctor fills the gap. It's MIT-licensed, requires no config to get started, and the CI integration takes about five minutes to set up.
Reviewer scorecard
“Been waiting for exactly this. The per-session token breakdown finally shows which commands are bankrupting my API budget and which are model-efficient. The system prompt inspector — showing what Claude Code actually sends as context — is worth the signup alone.”
“The GitHub Actions integration with PR health score diffs is the feature I didn't know I needed. Installing it took three minutes and immediately flagged three useEffect anti-patterns Cursor introduced last week.”
“You can get 80% of this from Claude Code's built-in OpenTelemetry output piped into a free Grafana dashboard. Latitude is betting that most teams won't DIY it — that's a fair bet — but the freemium paywall likely arrives before you're convinced to hand over a credit card.”
“Static analysis for React isn't new—ESLint with react-hooks/exhaustive-deps, Biome, and others already catch most of these patterns. The 'health score' framing may encourage false confidence if teams focus on the number rather than the individual findings.”
“As AI coding agents become the primary way software gets built, observability for agent behaviour becomes as mission-critical as APM was for microservices. Latitude is staking out the right territory at the right moment — this category will be worth billions.”
“Teaching agents the rules upfront rather than fixing their output afterward is the right architectural direction. As agent-written code becomes the norm, tools that close the feedback loop at the prompt level will be as important as compilers.”
“Knowing the exact cost of each creative brief I throw at Claude Code would change how I scope projects. Understanding where the token budget disappears makes it easier to write better prompts and structure tasks more efficiently.”
“For designer-developers who use Cursor or v0 to prototype quickly, this is a sanity check that doesn't require deep React expertise. A green health score before shipping is a meaningful confidence boost.”
