Tools

Unofficial nlm CLI and MCP server for NotebookLM (now Gemini Notebook): bulk-create notebooks, import web pages and docs, and generate audio overviews, quizzes, flashcards, mind maps and slides for teaching and study. Relies on undocumented APIs and a Google sign-in, so it may break.

Unofficial CLI and MCP that let agents work with NotebookLM (now Gemini Notebook): bulk-import sources, ask questions with citations, and generate audio overviews, quizzes, flashcards, mind maps and slides. Uses undocumented APIs and may break; needs a Google sign-in and uv.

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.

Posit's open-source scientific and technical publishing system built on Pandoc: embed Python, R or Julia code in Markdown or Jupyter notebooks, then quarto render produces HTML, PDF, Word, slides, websites and books.

Docker's official CLI for building images, running and managing containers, viewing logs and pushing to registries, a foundational tool for agents setting up isolated environments. Needs a local or remote Docker Engine such as Docker Desktop.

Reference for pnpm 12: CLI, pnpm-workspace.yaml settings, monorepo workspaces, catalogs, overrides, patches, supply-chain settings such as build approval, task orchestration, CI setup and migration from npm, Yarn or older pnpm. Generated by Anthony Fu from the official docs.

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.

Connects to your local or cloud Zotero library: search by title, full text or semantics, read PDFs and annotations, add items by DOI and organize collections. Needs Python 3.10+; for local mode, enable the local API in Zotero settings first.

draw.io's official MCP: opens XML, CSV or Mermaid diagrams generated by the agent directly in the draw.io editor, good for flowcharts and architecture diagrams. A no-install remote version can also render diagrams inline in the chat.

Turns a repeatable agent task into a repo-local skill plus a GitHub Actions workflow that runs a coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode or CodeLayer) on a schedule, with a prompt, memory file and one-open-PR bound. Reads the repo first, then walks you through cadence, scope and validation.

Fixes defensive academic writing full of hedging and preemptive disclaimers, organizing abstract, introduction, experiments and conclusion around your strongest contribution. Also helps trim length and self-check before a rebuttal. English and Chinese versions, plus a prompt for any AI chat.

Interviews you to design an agentic control loop for your codebase in control-theory terms: a set point, a sensor built from existing tooling, a controller that picks small low-risk changes, and a coding agent that opens PRs. Builds each part to run locally before wiring a scheduled CI workflow.

GitHub's official gh extension for writing Actions workflows in Markdown that AI agents execute, compiled into standard Actions. Choose engines like Copilot, Claude Code or Codex; runs in a read-only sandbox by default. Requires gh.

From the FinanceToolkit author: computes ratios, valuation, risk and macro indicators with 500+ transparent formulas, for company comparisons and first-pass due diligence. Hosted, no install; enter a Financial Modeling Prep key on first connect (free tier: US stocks, 5 years). Verify results.

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.

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.

Self-contained modern TeX/LaTeX engine based on XeTeX and TeX Live that downloads and caches support files on first build, compiling .tex to PDF in one command without installing a full TeX distribution.

From ISCAS's Chinese Information Processing Lab: Claude Code or Codex write slides from your brief, render each page to check layout, and export an editable PPTX, for lectures and academic talks. Needs macOS, Linux or WSL with Python (uv), npm and LibreOffice; install per the README.

Gives agents Exa web search and page content fetching, with an optional multi-step research agent and advanced filtered search. Maintained by Exa; the hosted service works anonymously with limits, and signing in or adding an API key raises them.

WordPress's official CLI: install and update plugins and themes, manage posts and users, import and export content, run database search-replace and configure multisite from the terminal, without opening wp-admin. Requires PHP 7.2.24 or later.

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.

Empirical social science skills from Stanford REAP and CoPaper.AI, bundling 77 in-house and third-party collections: topic selection, literature reviews, DID/RD/IV identification, regression tables in Python, Stata or R, robustness audits and paper writing. Stata flows need Stata installed.
