Unbabel's machine-translation quality metric: comet-score rates translations per sentence and overall, XCOMET marks error spans and severity, and CometKiwi works without a reference. Good for spot-checking MT. Needs Python 3.8+; models download from Hugging Face, some need a license; GPU helps.

Rewrites a paper for a target journal: give it 5-8 papers from that journal (plus optional field or lab examples), it builds an editable style guide for your manuscript, then rewrites section by section to the journal's conventions with a change log. PDF input needs a converter such as MinerU.

dbt Labs' official plugin marketplace with dbt and dbt-migration plugins: write models and unit tests, build semantic-layer metrics, govern with dbt Mesh, debug failed jobs, and handle version upgrades and cross-platform migrations. Most skills need an existing dbt project.

dbt Labs' official skills: write and edit dbt models, add unit tests and docs, set up the MetricFlow semantic layer, debug failed jobs, and handle dbt version upgrades and cross-platform migrations. Most skills need dbt installed and an existing project.

US stock research: /trading-ideas:research gathers earnings, peer valuations, unusual options and insider trades via web search and writes an analyst-style report with rating, price target and bull/bear cases. Needs a paid Claude plan. Web data can be wrong; not investment advice.

A research plugin for Claude Code: commands like /omp:survey, /omp:experiment and /omp:write chain literature review, topic selection, experiments, writing and self-review, with 5 specialized agents and 34 research skills that remember project progress across sessions. Experiments lean toward ML.

21 English writing rules (12 from The Elements of Style, Orwell, Pinker and other classics, 9 from observed LLM habits) for clearer, leaner papers, grant proposals, design docs and documentation. Expository English only; not for fiction or marketing copy.

Stock analysis MCP for individual investors: quotes via yfinance, technical indicators such as RSI and MACD, screening strategies, a portfolio tracker and a trade journal. Core tools need no API key; backtesting and deep-research extensions are optional.

Economics writing skill built on 50+ guides (Cochrane, McCloskey and others): shapes abstracts, introductions and conclusions by paper type and 13 identification strategies such as DiD, IV and RDD, simulates three referee scores and flags citations to verify.

Two skills for before and after peer review: review-revision checks a manuscript as a senior reviewer would and plans section-by-section revisions; rebuttal-response triages reviewer comments, plans extra evidence and drafts point-by-point replies. Takes PDF, LaTeX, Word or Markdown.

The five-agent PaperOrchestra pipeline (outline, figures, literature review, section writing, polishing) as skills: turns research ideas, experiment logs and a conference template into a LaTeX paper and checks citations via Semantic Scholar. Needs Python; verify the draft yourself.

Controls local WPS Writer, Spreadsheets and Presentation via MCP with 200+ tools (formulas, pivot tables, layout, slide polishing) plus companion skills. The plugin installs only the skills; build the MCP server and WPS add-in per the README. Needs WPS Office and Node.js 18+.

Lets agents operate WPS Office Writer, Spreadsheets and Presentation on your computer through 200+ MCP tools covering formulas, pivot tables, charts, comments, slide styling and animation. Requires WPS; clone, build from source and install the WPS add-in. Runs on macOS, Windows and Linux.

Helps agents write geospatial SQL for PostGIS, DuckDB, BigQuery and Snowflake: inspect schemas and keep query costs in check, then render results as interactive maps to review and correct. Needs Python and your own database or warehouse; maps use Dekart, which can run locally in Docker.

Official Firecrawl skill: drives the Firecrawl CLI to search, scrape, map site URLs, batch-crawl, interact with pages and monitor changes, returning LLM-ready Markdown. Search and scrape have a rate-limited free tier; crawling and monitoring need an account or self-hosted instance.

Firecrawl's official CLI: scrape, search, map and crawl sites and interact with pages in a browser from the terminal, with Markdown output; can also install companion skills for coding agents. Needs a Firecrawl account or API key, or point it at a self-hosted instance.

Compares two versions of a LaTeX manuscript and produces a .tex that marks additions and deletions in color and strikethrough; compile it for a tracked-changes PDF to show reviewers, or diff versions from Git history. Ships with TeX Live and MiKTeX; needs Perl.

Searches about 30 biomedical sources, including PubMed, ClinicalTrials.gov, ClinVar and OncoKB, with one command syntax, covering literature, clinical trials, genetic variants, drugs and pathways. Ships as both a CLI and an MCP server.

Turns web pages, long PDFs, Word files, images or code into tutor-style study notes: Markdown notes plus searchable HTML knowledge cards with concept breakdowns and mind maps. Needs Python 3.8+, plus Chrome for some sites; the optional tutor chat needs an OpenAI-compatible API key.

Anthropic's official life sciences plugin marketplace: install MCP plugins such as PubMed, BioRender, Synapse, ChEMBL and 10x Genomics, plus research skills for single-cell RNA QC, Nextflow pipelines and scvi-tools. Some data sources need an account or subscription.

PubMed plugin from Anthropic's life sciences marketplace: connects to the US National Library of Medicine's remote MCP to search biomedical literature and research papers. No account needed.

Anthropic's official research skill built on Fischbach and Walsh's problem-selection framework (Cell): a conversational guide to refining project ideas, assessing risk and success criteria, unblocking stalled research and choosing directions. No setup or account needed.

Official BioRender plugin in Anthropic's life sciences marketplace: connects Claude Code to BioRender's scientific icons, templates and figures to find assets and make paper figures, lecture slides and talk graphics. Needs a free BioRender account; authorize it in /plugin after installing.

Plugin from Wiley in Anthropic's life sciences marketplace: connects the Scholar Gateway remote MCP for semantic search across Wiley's peer-reviewed journals, with answers carrying checkable citations and DOI links. Good for literature reviews. Needs a free Scholar Gateway account.
