Tools

Loads and unloads environment variables per directory: reads .envrc (and optionally .env) when you enter a project and restores the environment when you leave, so configs and secrets do not leak between projects. Hook it into bash, zsh, fish or another shell first.

Turns 18 kinds of sources, including doc sites, GitHub repos, PDFs and videos, into skill packages for Claude and other platforms, or exports RAG chunks and vector store data. Optional MCP server, and it can call a local agent like Claude Code to enrich content. Needs Python 3.10+.

Open-source grammar, spelling and style checker for 20+ languages including English, German, French, Spanish and Portuguese. Proofread drafts in bulk from the CLI or run a local HTTP checking server for agents. For writers, translators and language teachers. Needs Java 17 (Homebrew includes it).

Security baseline and compliance checks for AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, GitHub, M365 and more, with built-in CIS, NIST, PCI-DSS, SOC 2 and other frameworks. Generates reports or opens a local dashboard. Configure credentials for each cloud account first.

FormatJS's official localization review skill for software translators: read-only checks of UI strings and translations for ICU syntax, placeholders, terminology consistency and locale formats for dates, numbers and currency, listing issues with evidence and minimal fixes. Never edits files.

Nearly 100 skills spanning the AI research workflow: ideation and literature review, fine-tuning and post-training, distributed training, inference serving, evaluation, interpretability and paper writing, tied together by an autoresearch orchestration skill.

Plugin marketplace for AI research with nearly 100 skills in 23 categories, from ideation, fine-tuning and post-training to distributed training, inference serving, evaluation and paper writing, coordinated end to end by the autoresearch skill.

Command-line framework for warehouse modeling and ELT transformations: write models in SQL and let dbt handle dependencies, data tests and documentation. v2 is rewritten in Rust as a single binary. Maintained by dbt Labs; needs a data warehouse connection.

Classic network discovery and security auditing tool: host discovery, port scanning, service version and OS detection, plus vulnerability checks with NSE scripts. Only scan networks you are authorized to test.

MiniMax's official Excel skill: read, analyze, create, edit and validate xlsx files and fix broken formulas. Edits existing files at the XML level to keep formatting, formulas and pivot tables; writes results as formulas with finance-style color coding. Needs Python (pandas); LibreOffice optional.

PostgreSQL command-line client with smart autocompletion and syntax highlighting. Compatible with psql environment variables, and -c runs a statement and exits, so agents can query databases non-interactively.

Scans container images, filesystem directories and SBOMs for known vulnerabilities across major Linux distro packages and many language ecosystems, ranks risk by EPSS and KEV, and filters results with OpenVEX. Good for vulnerability gates in CI. Maintained by Anchore.

curl for gRPC: call any gRPC method with JSON, including bidirectional streaming, browse service definitions via server reflection, proto source files or protosets, with TLS and mutual TLS support.

Simon Willison's LLM CLI and Python library: call OpenAI, Claude, Gemini and local models from the terminal, with conversations logged to SQLite automatically, plus embeddings, structured extraction, tool calling and a plugin system.

A du replacement written in Rust that shows disk usage as a directory tree with proportion bars, making large files and folders easy to spot. Filter by depth, count or regex, and output JSON with -j for agents to parse.

Estimates cloud costs of Terraform, Terragrunt, CloudFormation and AWS CDK changes before deployment and checks them against FinOps policies, in the terminal, editor, AI agents or CI. Requires an Infracost account; a free tier is available.

Document layout skill by tw93 with eight templates (resume, one-pager, long doc, formal letter, portfolio, slides, research report and more) that render polished PDF, PNG or editable PPT and check layout and content gaps. Supports English, Chinese, Japanese and Korean. Needs Python (WeasyPrint).

Bundles 60+ full-stack specialist skills into one plugin: experts for 12 languages including Python, TypeScript, Go, Rust and Java, and frameworks like React, Django and Spring Boot, activated automatically by request. Also includes Jira and Confluence workflow commands (needs Atlassian MCP).

Connects to the Arize Phoenix observability platform so agents can query LLM traces and sessions, manage prompts, browse datasets and read experiment evaluation results. Maintained by Arize; needs a self-hosted or cloud Phoenix instance.

ByteDance's open-source, general software engineering agent: trae-cli edits files and runs commands from natural language, supports multiple model providers and MCP, and records full execution trajectories. Transparent design suits agent research and customization. Needs your own model API key.

MySQL terminal client with smart autocompletion and syntax highlighting, also compatible with MariaDB and TiDB. Supports --execute and batch mode with CSV or table output, so agents can run SQL directly.

Open-source AI presentation generator that builds slides from a topic or uploaded documents and exports PPTX or PDF, with a built-in MCP endpoint for agents. Good for lesson decks and reports. Self-host with Docker and configure an LLM API key, then have an admin create an MCP key.

Publishes SQLite databases as browsable, queryable web pages and JSON APIs, with SQL queries, metadata and plugins, and deploys to Cloud Run and other platforms with datasette publish. Great for data exploration and data journalism. Needs Python 3.10+.

Google's official dependency vulnerability scanner: parses project lockfiles and container images, checks them against the OSV.dev database to find affected dependencies, and can suggest upgrade fixes (experimental).
