Tools

From Firecrawl: converts Word, PowerPoint, Excel, PDF, EPUB, RTF and more into clean Markdown locally in milliseconds, keeping headings, tables, footnotes and formulas so agents can read attachments. Needs Node.js; optional Firecrawl cloud OCR for scans uploads the whole file.

Skyvern's official MCP: drives a browser with vision LLMs to complete multi-step tasks like filling forms, downloading files and web research. Connect to Skyvern Cloud (OAuth or API key), or self-host Skyvern and run it as a local process.

Lets agents look up docs, properties and workflow templates for n8n's 2,000+ nodes and build and validate workflows; with an n8n API key configured it can create and update workflows in your instance directly.

SVG optimizer CLI and Node.js library: shrinks SVGs by removing editor metadata, comments, hidden elements and redundant attributes, processes whole directories recursively, and gives fine control through plugin config.

Offline speech transcription and translation based on Whisper; audio never leaves your machine. buzz add exports lectures, interviews and meeting recordings to TXT, SRT or VTT. pip install needs Python 3.12 and FFmpeg; a desktop app is also available. Check transcripts manually.

ML-based video upscaling and frame interpolation using Real-ESRGAN, Real-CUGAN, RIFE and other models to upscale old low-res video or raise frame rates; video2x handles one video per run and is scriptable. Needs a Vulkan GPU; Windows, Linux and Docker builds, no native macOS.

Continuously records your screen and audio locally, extracting on-screen text and transcribing speech, so agents can search pages, docs and meetings you saw and summarize your day. Data stays local. Needs screenpipe running: source is free for personal use, desktop app is a subscription.

Compiles Markdown chapters into an online book with a table of contents, full-text search and themes, good for manuals, lecture notes and course material; agents can edit chapter files and rebuild to preview. Maintained by the Rust team; install a prebuilt binary or via cargo.

Scripts terminal sessions in .tape files and records them to GIF, MP4 or WebM, great for CLI demos and docs; text snapshot output also enables terminal integration tests. By Charm; requires ttyd and ffmpeg.

Official MCP from the FunASR project: transcribes audio files locally with the SenseVoice model, supporting Mandarin, Cantonese, English, Japanese and Korean, with optional segment timestamps. Local inference needs no API key and audio stays on your machine. Docker image available.

Industrial-grade open-source speech recognition toolkit from Alibaba's ModelScope, with an agent-friendly funasr command that turns audio into text, JSON or SRT subtitles in one step, with speaker diarization and timestamps. Strong on Chinese. Requires PyTorch.

Command-line tool for bulk-downloading galleries and posts from many image hosts and social platforms, with flexible file naming and config, and yt-dlp integration for video. Main development has moved to Codeberg; the GitHub repo stays in sync.

Unofficial Python library and CLI for driving Google NotebookLM (now Gemini Notebook): bulk-import sources, ask cited questions, and generate and download podcasts, videos, slides, quizzes and flashcards. Ships an agent skill. Relies on undocumented APIs and needs a Google sign-in.

Pressures the agent with big-tech PUA and PIP-style rhetoric plus structured debugging steps and initiative checks, pushing it to change approach after failures and show evidence before claiming done. Modes include always-on, encouragement and P9 lead. Works with Claude Code, Codex and more.

AI2's tool for converting PDFs and scans to Markdown with a vision LLM, handling equations, tables, handwriting and multi-column layouts, suited to bulk digitizing papers and archives. Local runs need an NVIDIA GPU with 12GB+ VRAM; otherwise use a paid OpenAI-compatible remote endpoint.

Reports token usage and cost for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI and other coding agents from local logs, by day, week, month or session, and shows Claude Code's 5-hour billing windows.

Define and run chains of HTTP requests in plain text files, capture variables and assert on status codes, headers and JSONPath or XPath results, for both fetching data and API testing in CI. Open source from Orange.

Lets Claude Code push ML research forward unattended: literature review, topic selection, experiment deployment, cross-model review loops and paper writing through rebuttal, in 80+ skills. Codex acts as the independent reviewer by default; other model pairings work too.

Browser control from the browser-use team: an editable CDP connection lets agents drive the Chrome you are already using, writing missing helper functions as they go and keeping them for reuse. Also offers an MCP server. Allow remote debugging in Chrome on first use.

GSAP's official animation skills: teach agents to use the core API, timelines, ScrollTrigger and plugins correctly, including React, Vue and Svelte integration and animation performance. Maintained by GreenSock; all plugins are free.

Context and harness engineering skills covering context compression and optimization, multi-agent architectures, memory systems, tool design and LLM-as-judge evaluation, activated automatically by task. Aimed at building production-grade agent systems.

Context and harness engineering skills: context fundamentals, degradation diagnosis and compression, multi-agent architectures, memory systems, tool design, LLM-as-judge evaluation and self-improvement loops. Focused on principles and design patterns, not tied to any agent platform.

Official Lark (Feishu) workflow skill that turns your calendar events and open tasks for today, tomorrow or this week into a standup summary, flagging conflicts and free slots. Needs lark-cli with Node.js, app setup, and calendar and task permissions on your own account.

Official Lark (Feishu) OKR skill: view OKR cycles, create and edit objectives and key results, update quantitative progress and notes, and adjust alignment, order and weights to drive team goals (no performance reviews). Needs lark-cli and authorization.
