Framework for writing data transformation models in SQL or Python, with a Terraform-like plan/apply flow, virtual data environments, unit tests and table diffs, and transpilation across 10+ SQL dialects. A Linux Foundation project and an alternative to dbt.

Recognizes images or whole PDFs (including scans) with math formulas and tables into Markdown and LaTeX, strong on English and Chinese and supporting 80+ languages, handy for digitizing exams, lecture notes and study notes. An open-source Mathpix alternative that runs locally with Python.

Turns a topic or article into a narrated explainer video in English or Chinese: research, script, voiceover, storyboard and per-shot animation, with subtitles and chapter cards. Needs Node.js, ffmpeg and Python; takes about 1-3 hours depending on length. Free for non-commercial use only.

Search and download arXiv papers and read the authors' LaTeX source section by section, export BibTeX and follow topic updates, with papers cached locally. No API key needed.

Reviews mobile and desktop app designs against Apple's Human Interface Guidelines, bundled as 123 pages from developer.apple.com, citing the exact guideline through five review lenses, and flags generic, templated choices. Works on screenshots, mockups or code for SwiftUI, Flutter or Electron.

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.

Official plugin from the Dart and Flutter teams that installs Flutter skills and the Dart MCP server together, covering layered architecture, responsive layouts, layout error fixes, widget and integration tests, routing and internationalization. Requires the Dart/Flutter SDK locally.

PDFMathTranslate 2.x (command pdf2zh_next), built on BabelDOC: translates papers and other PDFs while keeping formulas, charts, TOC and annotations, outputting translated and bilingual side-by-side versions. Uses a free translation channel by default, or your own OpenAI, DeepSeek or other API key.

Agent skills maintained by the Flutter team: layered architecture, responsive layouts, fixing layout overflows, declarative routing, internationalization, JSON serialization, and widget and integration tests. Works alongside the Dart MCP server.

A job-search collection of 20 skills: ATS resume optimization, tailoring resumes to specific roles, cover letters, LinkedIn profile tuning, interview prep and salary negotiation.

Finance skills for US, Hong Kong and China A-share markets: news from 10+ sources, quotes and fundamentals, sentiment analysis, time-series forecasts, signal tracking, impact-chain diagrams and reports. Needs Python; some skills download PyTorch models. Not investment advice.

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+.

A JADX decompiler plugin plus companion MCP server that lets agents read an APK's classes, methods, Smali and resources to assist Android reverse engineering and vulnerability hunting. Requires JADX-GUI and uv.

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.

Python library with a built-in MCP server for US SEC EDGAR data: search 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K and other filings and read XBRL-standardized financial statements, Form 4 insider trades and 13F holdings. Free with no API key; just set an EDGAR_IDENTITY.

From a single topic, the agent writes a storyboard, generates paper-cutout collage visuals, motion, narration, music and subtitles, and assembles a Vox-style explainer or ad with ffmpeg, checking with you on storyboard and style. Needs a prepaid Atlas Cloud API key, ffmpeg and Python.

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.

Simon Willison's website screenshot CLI: batch screenshots from YAML, record demo videos, export PDF and HTML, run JavaScript in pages to extract data, and dump accessibility trees. Built on Playwright; install a browser on first use.

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.

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).

Apify's official skill collection: picks from 130+ curated Actors to scrape public data from social networks, maps, e-commerce sites and more, and can also build, package and deploy Actors. Needs an Apify account; a free tier is available.

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.

Turns a paper's method description (text or PDF) or data files into publication-ready diagrams and plots, with several AI reviewer roles refining each figure. Needs an OpenAI or Gemini API key (billed per image), Python and uv. A community reimplementation, not by the original paper's authors.
