Tools

Define cloud infrastructure in general-purpose languages like TypeScript, Python and Go, then preview and deploy with pulumi up to AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes and 300+ other providers. Open source and maintained by Pulumi.

Declarative diagram scripting language: describe architecture diagrams, flowcharts and sequence diagrams in concise text with automatic layout, then render with the d2 command to SVG, PNG, PDF or PPTX. Lets agents produce diagrams you can version-control.

Open-source Zapier alternative with a built-in MCP server: agents can build and test automations in plain language, manage tables, or call hundreds of apps like email, spreadsheets and chat. Use the cloud or self-host, enable the MCP server in settings and connect via OAuth.

Fast speech transcription built on faster-whisper, with word-level timestamps and speaker diarization, suited to meeting notes and subtitles. Diarization needs a Hugging Face token; GPU acceleration needs CUDA.

Google's official GKE basics skill: creating clusters, choosing Autopilot or Standard, getting kubectl credentials, configuring Workload Identity and deploying workloads, plus a list of common gotchas. Needs gcloud and a GCP project.

Google's official skill library and plugin marketplace: nearly 150 skills focused on Google Cloud (GKE, BigQuery, Cloud Run, IAM and more), plus 17 product plugins pairing skills with MCP for Cloud SQL, Spanner, AlloyDB, BigQuery, GCS and others.

Manages BigQuery datasets, tables and jobs with the bq and gcloud CLIs, runs SQL queries and loads data, with references for client libraries, MCP and Terraform. Google's official skill; requires a Google Cloud project.

Google's official skill library, focused on Google Cloud: 100+ skills for gcloud, Cloud Run, GKE, BigQuery, IAM, monitoring and logging, and the Well-Architected Framework, plus Ads and Analytics.

Community-maintained modern replacement for ls (successor to exa) with colored output, tree view, Git status and file icons, plus .gitignore filtering for quickly scanning directory structures.

Encrypts secret values in YAML, JSON, ENV and INI config files using AWS, GCP or Azure KMS, age or PGP, so secrets can be safely committed to Git alongside code. A CNCF sandbox project.

From Firecrawl: converts Word, PowerPoint, Excel, PDF, EPUB, RTF and more into clean Markdown locally in milliseconds, keeping headings, tables, footnotes and formulas so agents can read attachments. Needs Node.js; optional Firecrawl cloud OCR for scans uploads the whole file.

Skyvern's official MCP: drives a browser with vision LLMs to complete multi-step tasks like filling forms, downloading files and web research. Connect to Skyvern Cloud (OAuth or API key), or self-host Skyvern and run it as a local process.

Offline speech transcription and translation based on Whisper; audio never leaves your machine. buzz add exports lectures, interviews and meeting recordings to TXT, SRT or VTT. pip install needs Python 3.12 and FFmpeg; a desktop app is also available. Check transcripts manually.

Continuously records your screen and audio locally, extracting on-screen text and transcribing speech, so agents can search pages, docs and meetings you saw and summarize your day. Data stays local. Needs screenpipe running: source is free for personal use, desktop app is a subscription.

Compiles Markdown chapters into an online book with a table of contents, full-text search and themes, good for manuals, lecture notes and course material; agents can edit chapter files and rebuild to preview. Maintained by the Rust team; install a prebuilt binary or via cargo.

Scripts terminal sessions in .tape files and records them to GIF, MP4 or WebM, great for CLI demos and docs; text snapshot output also enables terminal integration tests. By Charm; requires ttyd and ffmpeg.

Official MCP from the FunASR project: transcribes audio files locally with the SenseVoice model, supporting Mandarin, Cantonese, English, Japanese and Korean, with optional segment timestamps. Local inference needs no API key and audio stays on your machine. Docker image available.

Industrial-grade open-source speech recognition toolkit from Alibaba's ModelScope, with an agent-friendly funasr command that turns audio into text, JSON or SRT subtitles in one step, with speaker diarization and timestamps. Strong on Chinese. Requires PyTorch.

Unofficial Python library and CLI for driving Google NotebookLM (now Gemini Notebook): bulk-import sources, ask cited questions, and generate and download podcasts, videos, slides, quizzes and flashcards. Ships an agent skill. Relies on undocumented APIs and needs a Google sign-in.

AI2's tool for converting PDFs and scans to Markdown with a vision LLM, handling equations, tables, handwriting and multi-column layouts, suited to bulk digitizing papers and archives. Local runs need an NVIDIA GPU with 12GB+ VRAM; otherwise use a paid OpenAI-compatible remote endpoint.

Browser control from the browser-use team: an editable CDP connection lets agents drive the Chrome you are already using, writing missing helper functions as they go and keeping them for reuse. Also offers an MCP server. Allow remote debugging in Chrome on first use.

Lets Claude Code push ML research forward unattended: literature review, topic selection, experiment deployment, cross-model review loops and paper writing through rebuttal, in 80+ skills. Codex acts as the independent reviewer by default; other model pairings work too.

Strips AI-sounding prose from English drafts: lists phrases to cut and patterns to avoid, then scores directness, rhythm, trust in the reader, authenticity and density, sending anything under 35/50 back for revision. Word lists and examples are English, for blogs, emails and articles.

Sealos's Kubernetes lifecycle CLI: one sealos run deploys a highly available cluster across multiple servers, and cluster images install databases, middleware and other apps, with offline delivery support. Linux only.
