Build a “Free” AI Coding Stack with ClaudeCode + Claude Skills + Ollama (Local / Cloud Models)

Why this combo is interesting

If you want an AI-assisted coding workflow without paying for hosted inference, you can combine:

ClaudeCode as your coding workflow (prompts, refactors, tests, review loops)
Claude Skills (Skill Creator) as your reusable automation layer (repeatable “mini-agents” like “Write PR description”, “Generate unit tests”, “Create API client”, etc.)
Ollama as your free local model runtime (run models on your laptop/workstation)

The result: a practical “local-first” setup where your day-to-day coding helpers run on Ollama at $0 inference cost (hardware permitting) / Cloud model with rate limiting, while you still get a structured workflow via ClaudeCode + Skills.

What you can build with this stack
