Turns a paper's method description (text or PDF) or data files into publication-ready diagrams and plots, with several AI reviewer roles refining each figure. Needs an OpenAI or Gemini API key (billed per image), Python and uv. A community reimplementation, not by the original paper's authors.

TypeUI's design fundamentals skill: general UI and interaction principles covering visual hierarchy, spacing, typography, 30 laws of interaction and WCAG accessibility. Needs Node.js to install; the TypeUI design-system library needs its hosted MCP and sign-in.

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.

Figma's official plugin: connects the remote Figma MCP server and bundles skills for design-to-code, Code Connect, and generating designs and libraries, letting agents read design context and write to the canvas. Needs a Figma account; Starter plans and View/Collab seats get 6 calls a month.

Builds editable Figma designs on the canvas from screens, modals or sidebars in your code, or from a text description, reusing components and variables from the file's published design system first. Maintained by Figma; needs the remote Figma MCP server and the figma-use skill.

Turns Figma designs into production code in your project, using the design screenshot as the visual target and reusing existing components, design tokens and Code Connect mappings first. Maintained by Figma; needs the Figma MCP server (free plans get only 6 calls a month).

Figma's official skill that teaches agents to run Plugin API scripts via use_figma, creating and editing nodes, components, variables and auto layout directly on the canvas. Load it before any use_figma call. Needs a Figma account and the remote MCP server.

Figma's official skill: the agent writes Mermaid, then uses the Figma MCP to build flowcharts and sequence, state, Gantt and ER diagrams in FigJam for you to tweak by hand. Unsupported types like pie charts and mind maps are flagged upfront. Needs a Figma account and the remote MCP server.

Figma's official skill for building FigJam boards through the Figma MCP: sticky notes, sections, connectors, shapes and tables for brainstorms, retros and meetings. Needs a Figma account, the remote MCP server and the figma-use skill; canvas writes are free in beta; usage pricing is planned.

Figma's official skill collection: implement designs as code, map components with Code Connect, generate design-system libraries from code, and build screens and FigJam diagrams on the canvas. Needs the Figma MCP server; canvas writes are in beta and currently free.

Breaks reference UIs you like (screenshots, images or URLs) into a structured design DNA JSON covering design tokens, overall style and visual effects, then builds new pages from your content in that style. Installing needs Node.js; no API key required.

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.

SDK and CLI for reading, editing and optimizing glTF 2.0 3D models: one optimize command does it all, or run Draco and Meshopt geometry compression, texture resizing and WebP or KTX2 compression separately. Suits game and web 3D assets.

Command-line tool for inspecting, compressing and optimizing glTF/GLB 3D models, with Draco and Meshopt mesh compression, texture resizing and WebP/KTX2 compression; a single optimize command handles it all.

Drives SolidWorks from prompts: part modeling, assemblies, drawings and STEP/DXF/PDF export, with multi-view previews for self-checks. A capability list marks what's verified; sheet metal, weldments and FEA are pilots needing engineer review. Needs Windows, Python 3.10+ and licensed SolidWorks.

Higgsfield's official skills: generate images, video and voiceover from a single prompt for product shots, e-commerce hero images, YouTube thumbnails, brand guidelines and narrated explainers. Requires the Higgsfield CLI and a signed-in account; generations use account credits.

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.

Generates product shots, marketing posters and illustrations, removes or swaps backgrounds, upscales and makes videos, with 1,400+ prompt templates and parallel variations. Cloud use needs a MeiGen account and paid credits; the npm version can use OpenAI-compatible APIs or local ComfyUI.

From product photos and a brief, plans a full e-commerce visual set (main images, Amazon/Shopify detail pages, social promos, livestream scenes) with briefs and image prompts, using 25 scene templates and a consistent style. Renders with an OpenAI-compatible image API key; needs Python 3.10+.

KiCad design review skills: parse schematics, PCBs and Gerbers, trace the power tree, catch common mistakes, run SPICE simulation and EMC pre-checks, and tidy the BOM. Needs Python 3.10+; simulation needs ngspice; DigiKey needs API credentials. EMC pre-checks don't replace certification.

Figma's official CLI that links Figma design-system components to real components in your code, so Dev Mode and the Figma MCP show production snippets instead of generated examples. Needs Node.js 18+, a Figma Organization or Enterprise plan, a full Design or Dev Mode seat and an access token.

User research skill: drafts research plans, screeners and interview guides, and turns transcripts into reports with coding tables, personas and priorities, no account needed. AI-moderated interviews, surveys and recruiting real or synthetic participants need a Cookiy AI account, billed per use.
