Astral Assets is expanding AI-native engineering workflows with the launch of Astrophage Extender — an open-source extension layer that transforms Claude from a chat interface into a connected systems operator capable of interfacing with external tools, hardware, workflows, and automation pipelines.

Claude Code isn’t a tool layered on top of your workflow — it’s becoming the workflow itself. What that means for the interfaces we build, the hardware we design for, and the rate at which developer tools have to evolve.

We tracked 30 days of Claude Code sessions — before and after Starbase. The reduction in command latency, interruption frequency, and cognitive switching cost was measurable and consistent across different workflows.
