Lets agents drive the open-source CAD app FreeCAD: create and edit part models in natural language, run Python scripts, capture views and run FEM structural analysis for mechanical and product design. Needs FreeCAD with the addon and its RPC server, plus uv; engineers should verify results.

Lets agents write and run Playwright scripts on the fly for browser automation: page tests, UX checks and multi-step flows, opening a visible browser by default and auto-detecting local dev servers. After installing the plugin, run npm run setup in the skill directory.

Lets agents write and run Playwright scripts on the fly for browser testing and automation, auto-detecting local dev servers, with screenshots, responsive checks, login flows and link checking. After installing, run npm run setup in the skill directory.

Search and download arXiv papers and read the authors' LaTeX source section by section, export BibTeX and follow topic updates, with papers cached locally. No API key needed.

Microsoft's official skill collection: 170+ skills focused on Azure SDKs (Python, .NET, TypeScript, Java, Rust) and Microsoft Foundry development, plus plugins, custom agents and MCP configs. Microsoft recommends picking skills per project rather than installing them all.

Unified search across 20+ academic sources including arXiv, PubMed, bioRxiv, Semantic Scholar and OpenAlex, returning deduplicated, normalized results and downloading full text via open-access channels first. Most sources need no API key.

Measurement-first audits and optimization of web quality using Lighthouse, Chrome DevTools performance traces and CrUX data, covering Core Web Vitals, WCAG 2.2 accessibility, SEO and best practices, for any frontend framework. By Addy Osmani (not an official Google project).

Postgres rules ranked by impact: query optimization, indexing, connection pooling, RLS security, schema design and lock troubleshooting, with wrong-vs-right SQL examples, applicable to any Postgres. Maintained by Supabase.

Replaces arXiv preprint entries in your .bib file with the official published versions from DBLP and ACL Anthology, keeping citation keys, to tidy references before camera-ready. Overwrites the file by default, so preview with --dry-run. Mainly covers CS venues; needs Python 3.10+.

Open-source, agent-friendly BI: define metrics and dashboards in YAML and SQL, and rill init generates project instructions and MCP config for Claude Code so agents can build business dashboards and answer questions in natural language. Local use is free; publishing to Rill Cloud needs an account.

Bright Data's official MCP: web search (Google, Bing, Yandex), any page to Markdown, structured data extraction from e-commerce, social and other platforms, and remote browser control. Needs an API token; includes 5,000 free requests a month.

Simon Willison's website screenshot CLI: batch screenshots from YAML, record demo videos, export PDF and HTML, run JavaScript in pages to extract data, and dump accessibility trees. Built on Playwright; install a browser on first use.

Runs open image models like FLUX, Qwen Image and Z-Image locally on a Mac: text-to-image, reference-based edits, inpainting and upscaling, all on-device. Needs Apple Silicon and uv; the first run downloads models and is slow. Check each model's license before commercial use.

Four tools for real-time web search, page content extraction, site mapping and full-site crawling, available as a remote server or run locally. Maintained by Tavily; needs an API key or OAuth sign-in, and a free account is available.

Draws a code change or part of a codebase as an animated architecture or data-flow diagram. The agent writes a JSON graph, validates and renders it to SVG with the PR Lens CLI, then pushes it to a prlens.dev canvas or attaches it to a GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket pull request.

Uses hooks to enforce test-driven development in Claude Code: blocks implementation without a failing test, prevents code beyond what tests require, and can use lint results to push refactoring. Needs Node.js 22+. Still maintained, but the author suggests its successor Probity for new projects.

MiniMax's official CLI, built for agents: chat with MiniMax models from the terminal and generate images, video and speech, plus speech transcription, image understanding and web search. Works with the international platform. Requires a MiniMax Token Plan subscription.

A CLI and Python library by Simon Willison: imports JSON and CSV straight into SQLite with automatic table creation, runs in-memory SQL queries over files, and supports full-text search and table transformations.

Self-hostable long-term memory for agents, offering MCP, a REST API and a web dashboard: semantic search, knowledge graph and automatic memory consolidation. Embeddings are computed locally; choose SQLite, Cloudflare or Milvus as the backend.

Ports Anthropic's claude-for-legal to German law: a marketplace of 240+ plugins for contract drafting, employment, corporate, insolvency, data protection, litigation and construction law, plus practice case files. In German; experimental, so results need a lawyer's review.

MathWorks' official server that lets agents start your local MATLAB, write and run scripts and unit tests, and check code style and potential errors, for computing, simulation and data analysis. Needs a licensed MATLAB R2021a+ and the downloaded server binary.

Recommends daily papers from arXiv and Semantic Scholar by research interest, reads them and writes illustrated Obsidian notes and a paper graph; can also search venues like CVPR and NeurIPS. Needs Python 3, Obsidian, a vault path and an interests config; the web app needs an Anthropic API key.

Uses the Qdrant vector database as a semantic memory layer for agents: store information and retrieve it by meaning, connecting to a remote instance or a local path, with FastEmbed generating embeddings by default. Maintained by Qdrant.

Connects LLMs to ROS and ROS 2 robots: publish and subscribe to topics, call services and actions, set parameters, and read sensor and robot state, without changing robot code. The robot side needs rosbridge running.
