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 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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

Excalidraw's official MCP App: streams hand-drawn-style architecture diagrams and flowcharts into the conversation, with full-screen editing. Remote endpoint at https://mcp.excalidraw.com; requires a client that supports MCP Apps, such as Claude or ChatGPT.

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.

Turns SRT subtitles into a hand-drawn whiteboard animation on warm paper that follows the narration, exported as MP4, pausing for approval at storyboard, line art and annotation steps. Good for lesson explainers. Needs Python; line art from an image-capable agent or your own.

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.

macOS screen capture, accessibility-tree inspection and native UI automation, served over MCP so agents can see the screen and click, type and operate menus. Requires macOS 15+ with Screen Recording and Accessibility permissions granted.

macOS screenshot and UI automation CLI: capture the screen, read the accessibility tree for structured UI elements, then click, type, and switch windows and menus. Also runs as an MCP server for Claude Code and Codex. Needs macOS 15+ with Screen Recording and Accessibility permissions.

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.

Lingo.dev's official CLI: lingo push sends JSON, YAML, Markdown, PO, XLIFF, Android/Xcode strings and other files from your repo to its LLM localization engine, and lingo pull brings translations back; CI-ready. Needs a Lingo.dev account; usage-based pricing with a free sandbox.

From Callstack: lets coding agents inspect, operate and verify apps on iOS, Android and HarmonyOS simulators and real devices, reading accessibility snapshots, taking screenshots and recordings, and capturing logs and performance data. Ships both a CLI and a built-in MCP server.

From Callstack: lets coding agents drive and verify iOS, Android, HarmonyOS and desktop apps through accessibility snapshots, with taps, form filling, screenshots, logs and performance sampling, plus a built-in MCP server. Requires Node.js 22.12+.

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.

Generates hand-drawn-style Excalidraw diagrams (.excalidraw files you can keep editing on excalidraw.com) from text, choosing fan-out, timeline or convergence layouts by how concepts relate. Optional uv and Playwright let the agent render and check layouts; colors live in one file you can restyle.

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.

Converts AsciiDoc, a Markdown-like plain-text markup, into HTML5, DocBook and man pages, and with official extensions into PDF and EPUB, suited to technical books, textbooks and large manuals. Ruby-based; install with Homebrew on macOS.

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.
