Tools

Define multi-container apps in compose.yaml and bring up services, databases, caches and the rest with one docker compose up, handy for agents setting up local dev and test dependencies. Maintained by Docker; included with Docker Desktop on macOS.

Translates full PDF papers while preserving formulas, charts and layout (command pdf2zh), outputting monolingual and side-by-side bilingual PDFs. Uses Google Translate by default and can switch to DeepL, OpenAI and others; also runs as an MCP server.

Local model gateway that routes requests from Claude Code, Codex and other coding agents to providers like DeepSeek, Kimi, Gemini and OpenRouter, with failover, rule-based routing and request logs. Bring your own API keys.

Give it a person's name or a vague need and it researches and distills their mental models, decision style and voice into a callable persona skill (e.g. Munger, Feynman, Jobs) to aid analysis and decisions. Works with Claude Code, Codex and other agents.

Trading research agent from HKU's HKUDS whose MCP server offers 70+ tools for quotes, financials, backtesting and research across A-shares, Hong Kong and US stocks and crypto. Needs local Python; HK, US and crypto research need no API key. For research only; not investment advice.

Distills technical books, doc folders or paper collections (PDF, EPUB, DOCX, Markdown and more) into an agent skill with a core framework, on-demand chapter files, glossary and cheat sheet for lookup while working. Extraction needs local Python; poppler or docling optional for PDFs.

Official CLI for Tencent's open-source knowledge base platform WeKnora: upload documents, manage knowledge bases, run hybrid search and answer questions from them, or serve as a read-only MCP. Needs your own WeKnora deployment and a source build with Go 1.26+.

Lets agents create and edit draw.io diagrams such as flowcharts and architecture diagrams in plain language, with live browser preview, version history and export to .drawio, PNG or SVG. Includes an embedded server; runs locally with no API key.

Claude Code plugin for Next AI Draw.io that starts its Draw.io MCP server via npx. Generate and edit flowcharts, architecture and sequence diagrams in plain language, with live browser preview, version history and .drawio export. Needs Node.js.

Command runner that saves and runs project commands in a justfile, with make-inspired but simpler syntax. Agents can use just --list to discover a project's build, test and deploy commands and run them directly.

Lightweight command-line JSON processor that slices, filters, maps and transforms JSON with concise expressions and no runtime dependencies. A staple for agents parsing API responses and logs.

Polyglot dev environment manager: declare Node, Python, Go and other tool versions, environment variables and project tasks in mise.toml; mise exec and mise run install tools on demand and run them, with one config shared by local and CI.

Terminal multiplexer written in Rust, an alternative to tmux, with layout files, floating and stacked panes, WebAssembly plugins and a built-in web client. Handy for running several agent sessions at once.

Turns processes that live in people's heads into SOPs: flowcharts, a RACI matrix (responsible, accountable, consulted, informed), detailed steps and exceptions, ready for handoffs, audits and onboarding. Describe the process or paste existing notes. Official from Anthropic.

Generates people analytics reports from employee data: headcount snapshots, voluntary and involuntary attrition, diversity metrics, spans of control and flight risk, with findings and recommendations for leadership. Needs an uploaded employee CSV or a connected HRIS. Official from Anthropic.

Everyday software engineering plugin: standup summaries, code review, structured debugging, architecture decision records, incident response and pre-deploy checks. Official from Anthropic, built mainly for Cowork but also usable in Claude Code.

Screens resumes against a role rubric into a cited shortlist, ignoring irrelevant details like name and age; drafts invite, hold or decline replies, schedules interviews and builds onboarding checklists. Gmail and Calendar are optional, sending only after you confirm. Official from Anthropic.

Builds structured interview kits for a role: behavioral and situational questions by competency, follow-up probes, a 1 to 4 scoring rubric and a debrief template, so interviewers assess candidates against the same bar. Part of Anthropic's official human-resources plugin.

Answers employee policy questions in plain language, such as PTO, benefits, expenses, travel and remote work, with sources cited. Paste the handbook into the chat, or connect Notion, Confluence or another knowledge base to search automatically, cutting repeat HR questions. Official from Anthropic.

Anthropic's official data skill that guides agents to write, translate and optimize SQL across Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, PostgreSQL and other warehouse dialects, including CTEs, window functions and analytical aggregations.

Builds onboarding plans for new hires: a pre-start checklist (accounts, equipment, buddy), day-one and first-week schedules, and 30/60/90-day goals. Works in plain chat; with an HRIS, knowledge base or calendar connected it pulls in team info and books day-one events. Official from Anthropic.

Compensation analysis for HR and managers: market pay percentiles by role, level and location, offer competitiveness checks and equity modeling; upload a pay sheet to find employees outside their band and flight risks. Without a comp data source it uses public web data, so verify. By Anthropic.

Data analysis plugin: writes queries in each SQL dialect, explores datasets, runs statistical tests, charts with Python and builds interactive HTML dashboards, then reviews methods and conclusions before sharing. Connects to Snowflake, BigQuery and other warehouses. Official from Anthropic.

Checks hours before payroll for US small businesses: totals regular time, overtime and PTO from Gusto, QuickBooks Payroll or timesheets, and flags missed punches, overtime anomalies, rate changes and mid-period hires or exits. Prepares only, never runs payroll. Official from Anthropic.
