Tools

Recommends daily papers from arXiv and Semantic Scholar by research interest, reads them and writes illustrated Obsidian notes and a paper graph; can also search venues like CVPR and NeurIPS. Needs Python 3, Obsidian, a vault path and an interests config; the web app needs an Anthropic API key.

Command-line reference and bibliography manager: add papers by DOI with metadata fetched automatically, search by author, title or tag, and import or export BibTeX. Each entry is a readable YAML file that agents can read and write easily; a web UI is included. Needs Python.

Turns secondary-school math and science problems into teaching materials: interactive geometry solution pages, 3D molecular views of chemical reactions, and math explainer videos with Chinese voiceover and bilingual subtitles (needs a Zhipu GLM-TTS key). Requires Python sympy.

Manages stacked branches and dependent pull requests with the gh stack GitHub CLI extension: splits work into layered branches with one PR each, then handles push, submit, sync, rebase and merge, using flags that keep commands non-interactive for agents. Official GitHub skill.

Translates a video's SRT subtitles into other languages and generates AI voice lines synced to the timings, producing translated subtitles and dubbed audio tracks. Needs Python, FFmpeg and Google Cloud, Azure, DeepL or ElevenLabs API keys; configure the ini files, then run python main.py.

Lets agents read and write your local Obsidian vault directly: search notes, append to daily notes, tidy tags and properties, and summarize reading or research notes by topic. No need to open Obsidian or install plugins; access is limited to the vault and can be read-only. Needs Node.js 20+.

Fly.io's official CLI (fly): sign in, create and deploy apps, and list apps and check their status, reading fly.toml in the current directory to identify the app. Needs a Fly.io account.

Econometrician Pedro Sant'Anna's academic Claude Code setup (fork the repo to use it): Beamer/Quarto lecture slides, paper review and mock refereeing, R/Python analysis and replication packages, with specialist subagents and quality gates. Needs Git and Python; slides need XeLaTeX and Quarto.

Microsoft's official Azure skill set: deployment prep and validation, deployment, production diagnostics, AKS, quota lookup, compliance audits, cloud migration and Foundry; the plugin version also connects the Azure MCP Server. Needs an Azure account and az login.

Microsoft's official Azure plugin: bundles 20+ skills such as azure-prepare, azure-deploy, azure-diagnostics and azure-cost, and connects the Azure MCP and Foundry MCP to query resources, estimate costs, deploy and troubleshoot. Needs an Azure subscription and az login.

Docker's official MCP gateway (the docker mcp CLI plugin): runs servers from the Docker MCP Catalog in isolated containers, manages secrets, OAuth and tool toggles centrally, and gives multiple clients one endpoint. Built into Docker Desktop 4.59+; Docker CE and other setups must build the plugin.

Uses the Qdrant vector database as a semantic memory layer for agents: store information and retrieve it by meaning, connecting to a remote instance or a local path, with FastEmbed generating embeddings by default. Maintained by Qdrant.

HashiCorp's official server: looks up provider, module and policy docs in the Terraform Registry to help write IaC; with an HCP Terraform token it can also manage workspaces, variables and runs. Runs in Docker by default.

Chinese-English translation and word lookup in the terminal: one command shows definitions, phonetics and examples from iCiba, Youdao and an LLM. No API key needed (built-in free LLM proxy), or use any OpenAI-compatible model. Needs Node.js 20+; queries are sent to these online services.

Batch-normalizes audio and video loudness to standards like EBU R128, with presets for podcasts, music and streaming video; handy for evening out course recordings, podcasts and videos before publishing. Needs FFmpeg and Python 3.10+.

Connects LLMs to ROS and ROS 2 robots: publish and subscribe to topics, call services and actions, set parameters, and read sensor and robot state, without changing robot code. The robot side needs rosbridge running.

A plugin marketplace with dozens of plugins: an enhanced skill-creator, scrapers for Bilibili, Douban and Feishu docs, China A-share news and US stock fundamentals, WeCom notifications, deep research and fact-checking, with docs in English and Chinese.

Builds conference talks, lab meeting decks, defenses, lectures and grant reports to academic norms: assertion-style titles, slides ordered by the argument, one cited chart per results slide, and a closing conclusions slide. Pair with Anthropic's pptx skill; on claude.ai, enable code execution.

Lets Claude Code watch videos: extracts frames with ffmpeg and transcribes timestamped audio from local files or YouTube links, to review footage, summarize lectures or find on-screen text. Needs Node.js 20+ and ffmpeg (yt-dlp for YouTube); transcribe with local Whisper or a Gemini/OpenAI key.

Manages a Microsoft 365 tenant with one m365 command: SharePoint, Teams, OneDrive, Outlook, Planner, Power Platform and more, with JSON output and JMESPath filtering. An open-source PnP community project, not officially supported by Microsoft; register an Entra app before signing in.

Learning plugin for students and self-learners: /learn a topic to get a first-principles knowledge graph; it quizzes you before explaining, a separate agent blind-grades your free recall, and /review schedules FSRS spaced repetition. Progress stays local as JSON; needs Python 3.

Two-stage paper skills: planning studies the style of your target preprint server (e.g. PhilArchive, arXiv), finds gaps in the literature and scores a seven-dimension mock review; writing drafts and checks each chapter from the outline. Suits philosophy and interdisciplinary work; needs Python 3.

Turns a paper (arXiv link or PDF) into method diagrams, slides with a generated image per page (PPTX/PDF export) and an in-depth HTML explainer with formulas, for lab meetings and lectures. No API key; images use Codex's built-in generator or, in Claude Code, a separate image skill.

Gives agents controlled access to MySQL: list databases and tables, inspect schemas and sample data, and run SQL, with multi-database mode, SSL and SSH tunnels. Configure your own database user, ideally with least privilege.
