First published on my blog: My Custom GPTs – Nerd-Powered Motivation for Developers
Over the last few months, I’ve created a collection of custom GPTs: some dealing with programming challenges with personality and humor, … some others are more useful but less funny.
Let’s dive in.
Practical enough to ship code.
Fun enough to stop hating your legacy base.
Legacy (PHP) Code GPTs – Refactoring Fun
Legacy code isn’t just technical — it’s emotional. These GPTs are built as archetypes, each channeling a different kind of energy.
| Name | Theme | Link |
|---|---|---|
| Legacy-Code-Warrior |
Tactical grit—battle-tested refactoring. | Link |
Legacy-Code-Ork  |
Smash spaghetti code with brute-force enthusiasm. | Link |
Legacy-Code-Spock  |
Calm logic, precise refactoring. Live long and debug. | Link |
Legacy-Code-Jedi  |
Minimalist wisdom, clean architecture. “Refactor, you must.” | Link |
Legacy-Code-Son-Goku  |
Limitless energy. Kaio-Ken times SOLID! | Link |
Legacy-Code-Capsule-Corp  |
Inspired by Capsule Corporation’s ingenuity from Dragon Ball. | Link |
Legacy-Code-Wizzard  |
Magical abstraction powers. You shall not pass… bad code! | Link |
Legacy-Code-Witch  |
Stylish, precise refactoring incantations. | Link |
Paw Patrol  |
Small dogs with SOLID coding skills. | Link |
Use the one that fits your mood. Or switch between them mid-session to keep your motivation from flatlining.
(PHP) Coding GPTs – Clean and Typed
These GPTs don’t tell jokes—they ship code. They’re optimized for:
| Name | Purpose | Link |
|---|---|---|
| PHP Copilot++ | Typing enforcer + refactoring companion with nativ PHPStan and PHP-CS-Fixer Support via API. | Link |
| PHP Copilot++ (next-gen) | Aligned, brutal clarity for PHP systems, based on the SYNC Framework | Link |
| PHP #autofix | 1-click autofix for all your phpstan and CS woes. | Link |
| Codelight | Follows the Codelight Manifesto. Boringly code. | Link |
Thinking Tools – Meta, Prompt Systems
These are not just for coding. They’re for thinking before you start typing. Seriously.
| Name | Role | Link |
|---|---|---|
| SyncAI | Keeps you + AI in sync via Sync Process × Codelight Principles | Link |
| Sync Framework v1.1 (old) | My first try for a coding framework, optimized for LLMs. | Link |
| MetaPrompt | Pattern reuse for your prompts. Less yak-shaving. | Link |
| DeepDive | Clean your mental cache. Focused thought flow. | Link |
| **Blind Spot | Prompt Generator** | Helps spot untested assumptions. |
| Sync Framework v1.2 ** | Prompt Generator** | Prompt builder for dev workflows. |
Disruption GPTs – Radical Clarity, No Filters
These are not nice. They won’t coddle you. Consider yourself warned.
| Name | Function | Link |
|---|---|---|
| HVEB5000: Clarity Without Permission | Cognitive demolition tool. | Link |
| Null Tongue | Distraction nullifier. | Link |
| No-Bullshit ¦ Coding Assistant | Senior dev with no time for your excuses. | Link |
