Tools

Publication-quality matplotlib plotting skill from a Yale PhD student: bar charts, trends, heatmaps and multi-panel figures with consistent fonts, colors and export settings, plus real plotting scripts from papers published in venues like Nature Machine Intelligence. Needs Python.

Writing agent for novels, scripts, interactive fiction and long-form translation, with CLI, TUI and web workspace. Tracks worldbuilding, characters and foreshadowing, reviews and revises drafts, and works as a skill for other agents. Needs Node.js 22.16+ and a model API key such as Kimi or DeepSeek.

Reads the exact position of every character, line and table cell in digital PDFs: the CLI exports layout-preserving text or CSV/JSON details, and the Python API extracts tables and form fields, ideal for invoices, statements and reports. Runs locally with Python; scans need OCR first.

Lets agents control iOS and Android simulators and real devices: reads the accessibility tree first and falls back to screenshot coordinates, and can swipe, install and uninstall apps, record the screen and read device logs. Requires Xcode or Android platform tools.

Tencent's open-source browser bridge: through the bsk CLI and a Chrome/Edge extension, agents use your logged-in accounts in a separate visible window to browse, fill forms and take full-page screenshots, and correlate network requests with console output to debug sites.

Universal psql-style SQL command line: one tool to connect to PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, SQL Server, Oracle and dozens of other SQL and NoSQL databases, with support for copying data between databases.

Open-source research agent: one command runs literature reviews, deep research, paper reviews, paper-code consistency checks and replication plans, searching arXiv, PubMed and more with sources recorded. Good for grad students writing reviews. Run feynman setup to sign in to a model provider.

Open-source Simplified/Traditional Chinese converter: deterministic dictionary-based conversion (no LLM) covering variant characters and regional vocabulary for mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong, with limited Japanese kanji support. Runs offline; CLI plus Node.js and Python APIs.

Processes CSV, TSV, JSON and other structured data like awk, sed, cut, join and sort, but by field name, for cleaning, aggregation, format conversion and pretty-printing. The command is mlr; written in Go with no runtime dependencies.

NVIDIA's open-source LLM vulnerability scanner that probes for prompt injection, jailbreaks, data leakage, hallucination and harmful content, supporting OpenAI, Hugging Face, Bedrock and most REST-accessible models. Scanning cloud models needs their API keys.

Linter and formatter for 20+ SQL dialects that auto-fixes most issues and handles Jinja templating and dbt projects (dbt needs a plugin), suited to warehouse code review and CI.

Extracts the main content of a web page, stripping comments, sidebars, headers and footers, and outputs clean HTML or Markdown with metadata like title, author and publish date, saving tokens when agents read the web. Built for Obsidian Web Clipper by kepano; still in development.

Uses LLMs to translate EPUB, TXT, Markdown, SRT, PDF and other files into side-by-side bilingual editions, via OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini and other APIs or DeepL and Google Translate. LLM APIs need your own key or a Codex subscription. Only translate content you have rights to.

NetEase's open-source cross-platform UI automation framework: locates elements by image recognition to automate games and apps on Android, iOS and Windows without touching their code. airtest run executes cases and airtest report builds HTML reports.

High-accuracy retrieval-augmented Q&A over paper PDFs, text and Office documents, filling in citation metadata, checking retractions and attaching traceable sources to answers. Provides the pqa CLI and a Python library. Needs an LLM API key by default; local models can be configured.

Deep research assistant that runs locally with a built-in MCP server: searches arXiv, PubMed, Wikipedia and more over multiple rounds and writes cited reports. Needs Python 3.12+, uv and an LLM (local Ollama or an API key); web search needs SearXNG or similar. Runs take minutes to half an hour.

Terminal tool for exploring and wrangling tabular data: opens dozens of formats including CSV, JSON, Excel and SQLite for filtering, sorting, pivots and frequency counts. --batch mode replays actions headlessly or converts file formats.

Say build a harness for this project and it designs a domain-specific agent team, generating subagent definitions, companion skills and orchestration, validates them and keeps evolving them from feedback. Supports workflow orchestration, persistent agent teams and subagent delegation.

Turns outlines or scripts into web slides that present in the browser (not .pptx files), with 36 themes and 15 full deck templates; press S for presenter mode with script and timer. Good for lessons, training and reports. Plain local files; no account or API key needed.

Turns Peng Sida's public research-writing notes into a skill: revises abstracts, introductions, methods and experiments of ML/CV/NLP papers from a reviewer's view, checks that each claim has experimental evidence, and runs a pre-submission self-check. Pure methodology, no API key.

asc CLI for scripting the App Store Connect API: manage builds, TestFlight, metadata, signing and review submissions to automate iOS and macOS releases from the terminal or CI. Ships with a companion agent skill pack. Needs an App Store Connect API key.

Offline speech toolkit for Apple Silicon Macs: CLI text-to-speech (including Chinese and voice cloning) and speech-to-text, for voicing lessons and explainer videos or transcribing lectures and interviews, with data staying local. Needs an M-series Mac and Python 3.10+; MP3 export needs ffmpeg.

Trail of Bits static analysis skills: CodeQL for interprocedural taint tracking and data-flow analysis, Semgrep for rule-based scanning, plus parsing and deduplicating SARIF results. Requires CodeQL or Semgrep installed locally.

HTTP client CLI that reimplements HTTPie's syntax in Rust with a focus on performance; key-value pairs on the command line are sent as JSON by default, making it quick to debug REST APIs.
