Tools

High-accuracy retrieval-augmented Q&A over paper PDFs, text and Office documents, filling in citation metadata, checking retractions and attaching traceable sources to answers. Provides the pqa CLI and a Python library. Needs an LLM API key by default; local models can be configured.

Deep research assistant that runs locally with a built-in MCP server: searches arXiv, PubMed, Wikipedia and more over multiple rounds and writes cited reports. Needs Python 3.12+, uv and an LLM (local Ollama or an API key); web search needs SearXNG or similar. Runs take minutes to half an hour.

Say build a harness for this project and it designs a domain-specific agent team, generating subagent definitions, companion skills and orchestration, validates them and keeps evolving them from feedback. Supports workflow orchestration, persistent agent teams and subagent delegation.

Turns outlines or scripts into web slides that present in the browser (not .pptx files), with 36 themes and 15 full deck templates; press S for presenter mode with script and timer. Good for lessons, training and reports. Plain local files; no account or API key needed.

Gives agents on-demand guidance for the modern web platform, covering View Transitions, container queries, Popover, INP optimization, accessibility and more, with browser compatibility data so they avoid outdated code. Maintained by the Google Chrome team; currently in preview.

Manages multiple Claude Code, Codex, Gemini and Aider sessions in parallel from one terminal: each task gets its own git worktree, can run in the background, and changes are reviewed before merging. Requires tmux and gh.

Free remote MCP service that turns any GitHub repo or GitHub Pages site into a docs endpoint, so agents can read up-to-date docs and search code on demand and hallucinate fewer APIs. No sign-up or install; self-hosting is also possible.

Spec-driven project management for software: guides brainstorming into a PRD, breaks it into epics and dependent tasks synced as GitHub Issues, answers standup, next-step and blocker questions, and can dispatch several agents to code in parallel. Needs Git, an authenticated gh CLI and a GitHub repo.

asc CLI for scripting the App Store Connect API: manage builds, TestFlight, metadata, signing and review submissions to automate iOS and macOS releases from the terminal or CI. Ships with a companion agent skill pack. Needs an App Store Connect API key.

Turns Peng Sida's public research-writing notes into a skill: revises abstracts, introductions, methods and experiments of ML/CV/NLP papers from a reviewer's view, checks that each claim has experimental evidence, and runs a pre-submission self-check. Pure methodology, no API key.

Offline speech toolkit for Apple Silicon Macs: CLI text-to-speech (including Chinese and voice cloning) and speech-to-text, for voicing lessons and explainer videos or transcribing lectures and interviews, with data staying local. Needs an M-series Mac and Python 3.10+; MP3 export needs ffmpeg.

Moonshot AI's official terminal coding agent: reads and edits code, runs commands, searches files and fetches web pages, with video input, MCP, plugins, subagents and hooks, plus Zed and JetBrains integration via ACP. Needs a Kimi sign-in or Moonshot API key. Replaces the archived Kimi CLI.

HTTP client CLI that reimplements HTTPie's syntax in Rust with a focus on performance; key-value pairs on the command line are sent as JSON by default, making it quick to debug REST APIs.

From Trail of Bits: reviews PRs, commits or diffs from a security angle, tracing history with git blame, estimating blast radius by caller count and checking test coverage gaps, then writes a Markdown review report.

Query, modify and convert JSON, YAML, TOML, XML, CSV, HCL, INI and more with one selector syntax, editing config files in place or converting between formats, handy for agents handling structured data in scripts. A single dependency-free binary that works much like jq or yq.

Diffusion model inference in pure C/C++: one sd-cli command runs SD, FLUX, Qwen Image, Wan and more locally to create or edit images and short videos, with Metal acceleration on Mac. No cloud needed; bring your own model weights and use a release binary or build from source.

Turns a Notion PRD or feature spec into an implementation plan page and tasks, flagging open questions and linking spec, plan and tasks while tracking progress. From OpenAI's official plugin repo (developer: Notion); needs the Notion MCP connected.

OpenAI's official set of 18 web data visualization skills: chart selection and critique, D3, Canvas, Three.js, maps, statistical uncertainty, live dashboards, Gantt charts, UML and scrollytelling. Ships with a Codex plugin; installed alone, the plugin-level references are missing.

OpenAI's official Codex plugin marketplace (openai-curated) with 60+ plugins such as Figma, Notion, GitHub, Stripe and Vercel, each bundling skills, MCP servers and app connections into one install.

Has the agent build a local Next.js editor that turns app screenshots into App Store and Google Play marketing images: real device frames, bold headlines, 18 visual styles, multiple languages and RTL layouts, with one-click export of every required size. Needs Node.js.

Reproduces issues on the Android emulator: installs builds, drives the UI with adb, dumps the UI tree, takes screenshots, captures logcat, and gathers performance evidence with Simpleperf and Perfetto. OpenAI's official Codex plugin; needs the Android SDK.

Tests and debugs a locally running frontend with Codex's Browser plugin or Playwright: checks blank pages, framework and console errors, captures screenshots, re-verifies after fixes and writes a QA report. Maintained by OpenAI; formerly playwright-interactive in openai/skills.

Creates, edits and validates reproducible Python and SQL Jupyter notebooks: organizes cells as reports or tutorials, checks conclusions against actual output and reruns top to bottom before handoff. Maintained by OpenAI in the Data Analytics plugin of openai/plugins.

OpenAI's official Codex plugin for iOS: SwiftUI UI work and refactoring, App Intents, simulator debugging, performance profiling and memory leak hunting, with XcodeBuildMCP built in. Requires macOS and Xcode; Codex only.
