OpenAI's official Codex plugin for Google Calendar: summarize today's schedule, compare availability across people, prep for meetings, and create, edit or delete events. Requires signing in to Codex with ChatGPT and authorizing your Google account.

OpenAI's official Codex plugin for Outlook mail: triages your inbox, summarizes threads, extracts action items, and drafts replies or forwards, for people who handle heavy email loads. Requires Codex with a ChatGPT sign-in and an authorized Microsoft account.

Scrapes web pages into Markdown or structured data, with full-site crawling, sitemaps, web search and interaction with dynamic pages. Maintained by Firecrawl; the cloud needs an API key (self-hosting is possible), and the keyless hosted endpoint only offers scrape, search and parse.

Command-line email client supporting IMAP, SMTP, JMAP, Gmail and Microsoft Graph, with multiple accounts and --json output, so agents can check, search, compose and send mail. A first-run wizard auto-detects your mailbox settings.

Open-source LLM evaluation platform: one opencompass command picks the model and datasets and runs the evaluation across hundreds of benchmarks. Works with local Hugging Face models and API models, with vLLM and LMDeploy for faster inference.

Converts and two-way syncs Jupyter notebooks with plain Python scripts or Markdown, so agents can edit research and teaching notebooks like ordinary text and diffs stay readable. Needs a local Python environment; install with pip.

Cleans a LaTeX project before arXiv submission: removes comments, auxiliary files and unused .tex files and images, and can compress images, so internal notes are not published with the source. From Google Research; installable with Homebrew on macOS.

Python library and CLI for extracting main web content: fetches pages, crawls via sitemaps and RSS feeds, strips headers, footers and other noise, and outputs TXT, Markdown, JSON, XML and more with metadata. Also processes downloaded HTML offline.

Anthropic's official OS-level sandbox CLI: restricts file and network access for agents, MCP servers and any command without containers, using sandbox-exec on macOS and bubblewrap on Linux. Currently a research preview.

Veteran suite of CSV command-line tools: in2csv converts Excel and JSON to CSV, csvcut, csvgrep and csvsort filter and sort, csvstat computes statistics, and csvsql runs SQL directly against CSV files.

Google's official skills for building ADK agents: dev workflow, scaffolding, the ADK Python API, evaluation with LLM judges and adaptive rubrics, deployment to Agent Runtime, Cloud Run or GKE, publishing and observability. Works with agents-cli; local dev needs only an AI Studio key.

Language and toolset for double-entry bookkeeping in text files: bean-check validates the ledger, bean-format normalizes it, and Fava or beanquery handle reports and queries. Plain-text ledgers are easy for agents to generate and keep in version control.

Veteran command-line task manager with projects, tags, priorities, due dates and custom reports, JSON export, and a rich ecosystem of hooks and extensions, well suited for agents that record and track tasks.

Classic plain-text double-entry accounting CLI: entries live in a text file and it produces balance, register, budget and other reports directly, with no database or hidden state, so agents can easily read and write ledgers, reconcile and report.

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.

Semi-automated research assistant for CS and AI researchers that links ideation, Zotero literature management, experiment analysis and reporting, paper writing and reviewer responses, and keeps project knowledge in Obsidian. Branches for Codex and other agents exist.

12 LinkedIn writing skills: write posts, comments and replies in your voice without AI tone, plan a week of content and rewrite your profile, waiting for your confirmation before each post. Produces copy-paste drafts by default; optional Apify (reading posts) and Publora (auto-publish) API keys.

12 LinkedIn writing skills: draft posts, comments and replies in your voice without obvious AI tone, optimize your profile and plan a week of content, with your approval before anything goes out. Also usable in Claude desktop/web (paid plans); optional Apify token to read posts, Publora to publish.

Turns any codebase into an interactive browser course: real code with plain-language explanations, animations, hover glossaries and scenario quizzes. Built for people who build software with AI but can't read code, and useful for intro programming classes. Needs only an agent and the repo.

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.

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.

Draws bar charts, histograms, line charts, scatter plots and box plots in the terminal from CSV/TSV on stdin, so you can glance at data distributions at the end of a shell pipeline. The command is uplot.

Plain-text double-entry accounting: track income, expenses, investments and time, generate balance sheets, income statements and budget reports in one command, with CSV import and JSON output for agent reconciliation and reporting. Converts to and from Beancount.
