Semi-automated research workflow for computer science and AI researchers: ideation, Zotero literature management, experiment analysis and reports, paper writing and polishing, and rebuttals, with optional Obsidian knowledge base. 40+ skills; also installable as a Claude Code plugin.

Community Playwright browser automation MCP from ExecuteAutomation (not Microsoft's official one): navigate, click, fill forms, screenshot and scrape page text, plus send HTTP requests, assert network responses and record actions into test code, with 143 device emulations built in.

macOS screen capture, accessibility-tree inspection and native UI automation, served over MCP so agents can see the screen and click, type and operate menus. Requires macOS 15+ with Screen Recording and Accessibility permissions granted.

macOS screenshot and UI automation CLI: capture the screen, read the accessibility tree for structured UI elements, then click, type, and switch windows and menus. Also runs as an MCP server for Claude Code and Codex. Needs macOS 15+ with Screen Recording and Accessibility permissions.

Detects shot changes in video and splits long footage into scenes, exporting cut lists and per-scene thumbnails, useful for shot analysis, organizing footage and finding edit points. Runs locally; needs Python 3.10+, plus FFmpeg or mkvmerge for splitting.

LM Studio's official CLI: list, load and unload local models, start and stop the local API server, and check status and logs; ls, ps and other commands support --json output for scripts and agents. Requires the LM Studio desktop app.

From Callstack: lets coding agents drive and verify iOS, Android, HarmonyOS and desktop apps through accessibility snapshots, with taps, form filling, screenshots, logs and performance sampling, plus a built-in MCP server. Requires Node.js 22.12+.

From Callstack: lets coding agents inspect, operate and verify apps on iOS, Android and HarmonyOS simulators and real devices, reading accessibility snapshots, taking screenshots and recordings, and capturing logs and performance data. Ships both a CLI and a built-in MCP server.

Classic CLI for reading and writing metadata in hundreds of file types including images, video, audio and PDF, covering EXIF, GPS, IPTC, XMP and camera makers' proprietary tags, with batch editing, stripping and conversion. Requires Perl.

CLI and TypeScript runtime for discovering and calling MCP servers from the terminal and scripts: list tool signatures and call tools directly, or generate a standalone CLI or typed client from a server. Auto-imports existing MCP configs from Claude Code, Codex and others.

Runs Google Lighthouse across an entire site (sampling similar pages smartly) and summarizes SEO, performance and accessibility scores page by page in a local web UI; unlighthouse-ci writes reports directly for agents to read. Great for site-wide SEO checkups. Needs Node.js 22.18+.

Gemini API development skills: gemini-api-dev (core API and SDKs), gemini-live-api-dev (real-time bidirectional audio/video streaming) and gemini-omni-flash-api (Omni video generation and editing), filling in APIs released after model training cutoffs. Maintained by Google's Gemini team.

Teaches agents to code against the latest Gemini API and Python/TypeScript SDKs: multi-turn chat, function calling, structured output, and image and speech generation, while avoiding deprecated older models. Maintained by Google's Gemini team.

Visually compares two PDFs page by page: reports differences via exit code, writes a PDF with differences highlighted, or opens a GUI for side-by-side review. Useful for checking contract or generated-document revisions. No longer actively developed.

Operates LinkedIn through your locally logged-in browser session: view personal and company profiles, search jobs and talent, and send and read messages. Unofficial; LinkedIn's user agreement prohibits automated access, so your account risks restrictions.

Fast async link checker written in Rust that scans websites and Markdown, HTML and other files for broken links and email addresses, with JSON output, config files and an official GitHub Action, often wired into docs CI.

Terminal tool for offline IP geolocation and CDN provider lookup, supporting QQwry, GeoIP2, ip2region and other databases. Pipe output from dig, nslookup and similar commands through it to annotate IPs automatically.

Hugging Face's official hf CLI: search, download and upload models and datasets, manage repos and storage buckets, and run jobs on Hugging Face's cloud. Output adapts automatically for agents, and hf skills add installs companion skills. Uploads and similar actions need a login.

Knownsec's open-source Python-use agent: describe a task in plain language and it writes and runs Python on your machine, e.g. tidying Excel files, summarizing attendance or screening resumes. Needs Python 3.11+ and a model API key such as DeepSeek; code runs locally, so back up important files.

NVIDIA's official plugin that finds and installs the right skills from NVIDIA's catalog for your task, spanning CUDA acceleration, NIM inference, NeMo training, RAG blueprints, Omniverse simulation and robotics. Listed in both the Claude and Codex official marketplaces.

NVIDIA's official, verified catalog of hundreds of skills covering CUDA-X libraries, NeMo training, NIM and Dynamo inference, RAG blueprints, Jetson, Omniverse and robotics simulation. The install adds only nvidia-skill-finder, which recommends other skills and installs them once you confirm.

Browserbase's official skills: drive a local or cloud browser with the browse CLI for web scraping and search, turning site traffic into an OpenAPI spec, adversarial UI testing and competitor research. Cloud features need a Browserbase account.

Skills for solving CTF challenges across web, pwn, crypto, reverse engineering, forensics, OSINT and malware analysis, plus a script that installs common CTF tools in one go. Follows the Agent Skills spec and installs with npx skills.

AWS's generally available agent toolkit and plugin marketplace: plugins such as aws-core, aws-agents and aws-data-analytics bundle the AWS MCP Server with evaluated skills for IaC, serverless, containers and billing. Calling AWS APIs requires configured credentials.
