OpenAI's official life-science skills: 49 skills query public databases such as UniProt, ClinVar, gnomAD and AlphaFold through Python scripts, with a router skill that breaks down questions, normalizes entities and compiles sourced evidence. Written mainly for Codex.

OpenAI's official Codex plugin for answering product and business questions with data: metric anomaly diagnosis, KPI design, market sizing, dashboards and reports, notebooks and data quality checks. Connects to data warehouses and BI tools.

OpenAI's official Codex plugin with 18 skills to choose, design, build, test and export web charts, maps, dashboards, Gantt charts and UML, using D3, Vega-Lite and Three.js with attention to accessibility and responsiveness. Codex only.

Creates, edits and validates reproducible Python and SQL Jupyter notebooks: organizes cells as reports or tutorials, checks conclusions against actual output and reruns top to bottom before handoff. Maintained by OpenAI in the Data Analytics plugin of openai/plugins.

OpenAI's official data analytics skills: data quality assessment, KPI design, metric anomaly diagnosis, dashboards and analysis reports, market sizing and notebooks. Ships with a Codex plugin; some skills depend on its runtime.

Higgsfield's official Codex plugin: uses its remote MCP to generate images and video from text or photos, like product-shot video ads or animated stills, with built-in flows for faceless narration, voiceover and burned-in captions. Needs a Higgsfield account; billed in credits.

OpenAI's official Codex plugin with about 50 skills that route questions to genetics, omics, pathway, protein structure, chemistry and clinical evidence sources, can split the work across parallel subagents, and synthesize sourced conclusions.

OpenAI's official Codex plugin that uses the local API of the Zotero desktop app to search your library, export BibTeX, insert citations into LaTeX or Markdown drafts, and import new references after you confirm. Requires Zotero desktop.

OpenAI's official Codex plugin that starts from a brief, product shots or references to generate marketing concepts, mood boards, product scenes, ad directions and social assets, compared and iterated on a reviewable board. Works with Figma and Canva.

Build with OpenAI best practices inside Codex: call the OpenAI API, build and deploy agents with the Agents SDK, create ChatGPT apps and prepare submission materials, and create API keys directly. Maintained by OpenAI; Codex only.

OpenAI's official Codex plugin that guides sequencing analysis from BCL/FASTQ: QC, RNA-seq differential expression, single-cell, variant calling and metagenomics, favoring nf-core and other public pipelines with reproducible run logs. Checks for local tools first. Research use only.

Consensus's official Codex plugin: uses its remote MCP to search 220 million peer-reviewed papers for literature reviews, bibliographies, research gap analysis and cited writing. Needs a Consensus sign-in; the free tier returns a limited number of results.

Remotion's official Codex plugin (OpenAI marketplace) for making videos in React code: 12 skills covering project setup, animation and effects, captions, maps, preview and rendering. Free for individuals, nonprofits and companies up to 3 people; bigger companies need a license.

Turns articles, reports, papers or notes into a .pptx of full-slide images with speaker notes, in 12 styles such as lectures and thesis defenses; slide text is not editable. Needs Python 3; uses Codex's built-in image generation, or an OpenAI-compatible image API key in Claude Code.

Lets agents operate Home Assistant: control devices, query state and history, create and debug automations and edit dashboards, with 80+ tools. Community-maintained (unofficial); requires your own Home Assistant instance, and running via uvx needs a long-lived access token.

Manage Kubernetes clusters in natural language: translates intent into kubectl operations and runs them, and can serve as an MCP server for other agents. Uses Gemini by default (API key required) and also supports OpenAI and local models. Maintained by Google Cloud.

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.

Turns a theme, a line, an article or photos into a minimal, whitespace-heavy indie-zine portrait poster, and can distill reusable style rules and prompts from reference images, with built-in quality checks. Needs host image generation (e.g. Codex); otherwise outputs prompts only.

A more intuitive find-and-replace tool than sed: uses JavaScript/Python-style regex syntax, supports literal string mode and in-place file edits, which suits agents doing bulk text rewrites.

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.

Tells the agent how to export Remotion work: render videos with npx remotion render, stills with npx remotion still, several frames as images in one call with --frames, and videos with a transparent background. Official Remotion skill.
