Microsoft's official skill collection: 170+ skills focused on Azure SDKs (Python, .NET, TypeScript, Java, Rust) and Microsoft Foundry development, plus plugins, custom agents and MCP configs. Microsoft recommends picking skills per project rather than installing them all.

Unified search across 20+ academic sources including arXiv, PubMed, bioRxiv, Semantic Scholar and OpenAlex, returning deduplicated, normalized results and downloading full text via open-access channels first. Most sources need no API key.

Replaces arXiv preprint entries in your .bib file with the official published versions from DBLP and ACL Anthology, keeping citation keys, to tidy references before camera-ready. Overwrites the file by default, so preview with --dry-run. Mainly covers CS venues; needs Python 3.10+.

Postgres rules ranked by impact: query optimization, indexing, connection pooling, RLS security, schema design and lock troubleshooting, with wrong-vs-right SQL examples, applicable to any Postgres. Maintained by Supabase.

Open-source, agent-friendly BI: define metrics and dashboards in YAML and SQL, and rill init generates project instructions and MCP config for Claude Code so agents can build business dashboards and answer questions in natural language. Local use is free; publishing to Rill Cloud needs an account.

Open-source meeting bot and real-time transcription platform: sends a bot into Google Meet, Teams or Zoom and transcribes live by speaker, with MCP so agents can dispatch bots and read transcripts. Use the hosted service (API key) or self-host.

Bright Data's official MCP: web search (Google, Bing, Yandex), any page to Markdown, structured data extraction from e-commerce, social and other platforms, and remote browser control. Needs an API token; includes 5,000 free requests a month.

65 skills built on methods from business, marketing and design bestsellers like Influence, StoryBrand and The Lean Startup: positioning, copywriting, conversion optimization, sales negotiation, UX review, plus step-by-step startup and site-building guides. Prompt-only, no API key needed.

Gives agents a live local Excalidraw canvas: add, edit and delete elements to draw architecture diagrams and flowcharts, take screenshots to check the result, convert Mermaid and export .excalidraw files. Runs locally with no API key; also ships a CLI and an agent skill.

Perplexity's official MCP with four tools: web search, grounded Q&A, deep research and reasoning, available remotely or run locally. Requires a Perplexity API key.

Runs open image models like FLUX, Qwen Image and Z-Image locally on a Mac: text-to-image, reference-based edits, inpainting and upscaling, all on-device. Needs Apple Silicon and uv; the first run downloads models and is slow. Check each model's license before commercial use.

Two-stage deep research: drafts an editable outline for the topic, then parallel subagents search the web item by item and compile a Markdown report. Good for literature reviews, competitor research and due diligence. Install by copying files per the README, plus pip install pyyaml.

A video production workspace for Claude Code: scripting, AI voiceover, music, generated visuals and Remotion rendering to MP4, with explainer and product-demo templates. The full workflow needs the cloned repo and Node.js 18+; AI generation needs your own cloud GPU (e.g. Modal's free tier).

Four tools for real-time web search, page content extraction, site mapping and full-site crawling, available as a remote server or run locally. Maintained by Tavily; needs an API key or OAuth sign-in, and a free account is available.

Terraform and OpenTofu best practices from Anton Babenko: diagnoses the failure mode first, then guides testing, module structure, state management, CI/CD and security scanning. Works for AWS, Azure and GCP.

Explains a codebase, feature, command or pull request to someone new to it as a PR Lens canvas: one plain sentence first, then a walkthrough that grows the diagram from two boxes to the whole picture, delivered as a shareable link. Requires the PR Lens skill and its npx CLI.

A native Go MCP server for Kubernetes and OpenShift: talks to the API server directly to create, read, update and delete any resource, view pod logs, exec commands and install Helm charts, without needing kubectl. Supports multiple clusters.

MiniMax's official CLI, built for agents: chat with MiniMax models from the terminal and generate images, video and speech, plus speech transcription, image understanding and web search. Works with the international platform. Requires a MiniMax Token Plan subscription.

Exports Feishu/Lark docs, whole folders or wikis to Markdown with images, so agents can read, migrate or archive them. Requires creating a custom app on the Feishu/Lark Open Platform and configuring its App ID and App Secret.

A CLI and Python library by Simon Willison: imports JSON and CSV straight into SQLite with automatic table creation, runs in-memory SQL queries over files, and supports full-text search and table transformations.

Figma's official skill for building FigJam boards through the Figma MCP: sticky notes, sections, connectors, shapes and tables for brainstorms, retros and meetings. Needs a Figma account, the remote MCP server and the figma-use skill; canvas writes are free in beta; usage pricing is planned.

Figma's official skill: the agent writes Mermaid, then uses the Figma MCP to build flowcharts and sequence, state, Gantt and ER diagrams in FigJam for you to tweak by hand. Unsupported types like pie charts and mind maps are flagged upfront. Needs a Figma account and the remote MCP server.

Figma's official skill that teaches agents to run Plugin API scripts via use_figma, creating and editing nodes, components, variables and auto layout directly on the canvas. Load it before any use_figma call. Needs a Figma account and the remote MCP server.

Unofficial Freshservice CLI built with Printing Press: lets AI check an IT agent's queue, flag tickets near SLA breach, search tickets and the knowledge base, gauge team workload, spot recurring issues and KB gaps, and manage changes and assets. Needs a Freshservice account and API key.
