Cynical Sally CLI - Cause "You're absolutely right" is probably absolutely wrong

by
Your AI pair programmer agrees with everything you write. Sally doesn't. 6 tools in your terminal and IDE: roast your code (scored 0-10 with real fixes), explain legacy spaghetti, refactor with before/after diffs, review PRs before you merge, brainstorm architecture, and audit your frontend. One command: npx @cynicalsally/cli roast . Works as a CLI and MCP server in Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf. Built for developers who'd rather hear the truth than "looks great!" You've been warned

Hey Product Hunt! I got tired of AI coding tools that treat every line I write like it's a masterpiece. "Looks great!" "Well structured!" "Nice work!", cool, but none of that makes my code, design or project better in the long run. I wanted something that feels less like a tool and more like a person. Someone who actually reads your code, finds the real problems, and tells you straight up. No sugarcoating, no hand-holding. So I built Cynical Sally. She's the senior engineer your code hoped it'd never meet. She scores your code 0-10, backs every issue with evidence, and gives you fixes you can actually use: right in your terminal or IDE. 6 tools: roast, explain, refactor, PR review, brainstorm, and frontend audit. One install: npx @cynicalsally/cli roast . Works in Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf as an MCP server. She's honest, she's cynical, and she's already made my code better. Hope she does the same for yours. Cynical Sally CLI is part of the Sallyverse: a growing ecosystem of brutally honest tools for developers, teams, and anyone who'd rather hear the truth.
