Lets agents browse subreddits, search posts, read comments and analyze user activity, useful for customer sentiment, competitor feedback and market research. Browsing needs no account; search and comments need free Reddit app credentials. Requires Node.js.

Distilled Apple Human Interface Guidelines reference for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, visionOS and watchOS, loading the right rules, component specs and measurements per task. Includes a /duo workflow for adapting an iOS app to iPhone Duo and an opt-in enforce mode with independent review.

Describe what you need and get a typeset PDF: turn handwritten notes or scanned textbooks into LaTeX handouts and cheat sheets, make exams with answer keys, write papers, theses, posters, resumes and letters. 27 templates plus chart and mail-merge scripts. Needs TeX Live (install script included).

The Docling project's official MCP: converts PDF, Word, PowerPoint and more into structured documents with layout and table detection and OCR for scans, and lets agents build new documents paragraph by paragraph and export Markdown. Local mode needs Python and uv, or use your own Docling Serve.

Unbabel's machine-translation quality metric: comet-score rates translations per sentence and overall, XCOMET marks error spans and severity, and CometKiwi works without a reference. Good for spot-checking MT. Needs Python 3.8+; models download from Hugging Face, some need a license; GPU helps.

Rewrites a paper for a target journal: give it 5-8 papers from that journal (plus optional field or lab examples), it builds an editable style guide for your manuscript, then rewrites section by section to the journal's conventions with a change log. PDF input needs a converter such as MinerU.

A research plugin for Claude Code: commands like /omp:survey, /omp:experiment and /omp:write chain literature review, topic selection, experiments, writing and self-review, with 5 specialized agents and 34 research skills that remember project progress across sessions. Experiments lean toward ML.

21 English writing rules (12 from The Elements of Style, Orwell, Pinker and other classics, 9 from observed LLM habits) for clearer, leaner papers, grant proposals, design docs and documentation. Expository English only; not for fiction or marketing copy.

Economics writing skill built on 50+ guides (Cochrane, McCloskey and others): shapes abstracts, introductions and conclusions by paper type and 13 identification strategies such as DiD, IV and RDD, simulates three referee scores and flags citations to verify.

Two skills for before and after peer review: review-revision checks a manuscript as a senior reviewer would and plans section-by-section revisions; rebuttal-response triages reviewer comments, plans extra evidence and drafts point-by-point replies. Takes PDF, LaTeX, Word or Markdown.

The five-agent PaperOrchestra pipeline (outline, figures, literature review, section writing, polishing) as skills: turns research ideas, experiment logs and a conference template into a LaTeX paper and checks citations via Semantic Scholar. Needs Python; verify the draft yourself.

Official Firecrawl skill: drives the Firecrawl CLI to search, scrape, map site URLs, batch-crawl, interact with pages and monitor changes, returning LLM-ready Markdown. Search and scrape have a rate-limited free tier; crawling and monitoring need an account or self-hosted instance.

Firecrawl's official CLI: scrape, search, map and crawl sites and interact with pages in a browser from the terminal, with Markdown output; can also install companion skills for coding agents. Needs a Firecrawl account or API key, or point it at a self-hosted instance.

Compares two versions of a LaTeX manuscript and produces a .tex that marks additions and deletions in color and strikethrough; compile it for a tracked-changes PDF to show reviewers, or diff versions from Git history. Ships with TeX Live and MiKTeX; needs Perl.

Searches about 30 biomedical sources, including PubMed, ClinicalTrials.gov, ClinVar and OncoKB, with one command syntax, covering literature, clinical trials, genetic variants, drugs and pathways. Ships as both a CLI and an MCP server.

Turns web pages, long PDFs, Word files, images or code into tutor-style study notes: Markdown notes plus searchable HTML knowledge cards with concept breakdowns and mind maps. Needs Python 3.8+, plus Chrome for some sites; the optional tutor chat needs an OpenAI-compatible API key.

Anthropic's official life sciences plugin marketplace: install MCP plugins such as PubMed, BioRender, Synapse, ChEMBL and 10x Genomics, plus research skills for single-cell RNA QC, Nextflow pipelines and scvi-tools. Some data sources need an account or subscription.

PubMed plugin from Anthropic's life sciences marketplace: connects to the US National Library of Medicine's remote MCP to search biomedical literature and research papers. No account needed.

Anthropic's official research skill built on Fischbach and Walsh's problem-selection framework (Cell): a conversational guide to refining project ideas, assessing risk and success criteria, unblocking stalled research and choosing directions. No setup or account needed.

Official BioRender plugin in Anthropic's life sciences marketplace: connects Claude Code to BioRender's scientific icons, templates and figures to find assets and make paper figures, lecture slides and talk graphics. Needs a free BioRender account; authorize it in /plugin after installing.

Plugin from Wiley in Anthropic's life sciences marketplace: connects the Scholar Gateway remote MCP for semantic search across Wiley's peer-reviewed journals, with answers carrying checkable citations and DOI links. Good for literature reviews. Needs a free Scholar Gateway account.

Redis's official MCP server: read and write strings, hashes, lists, streams, JSON and other data structures in natural language, with vector indexing and search and pub/sub. Bring your own Redis instance; runs via uvx.

DAIR.AI learning plugin that turns YouTube lectures and talks into local study material: extracts slide frames, builds timestamped transcripts, and lets you take notes and review in a bundled web viewer. Needs Python, yt-dlp and ffmpeg.

Official DuckDB skills: query local or S3 CSV, Parquet, Excel and JSON files with SQL or plain language, attach databases, convert formats, analyze spatial data and look up documentation. Needs the DuckDB CLI; tested only on macOS and Linux.
