Trail of Bits static analysis skills: CodeQL for interprocedural taint tracking and data-flow analysis, Semgrep for rule-based scanning, plus parsing and deduplicating SARIF results. Requires CodeQL or Semgrep installed locally.

Trail of Bits skill that audits npm, PyPI and Go supply-chain risk: known advisories across direct deps and the whole lockfile tree, deprecated or archived upstreams, npm publisher concentration and install-time scripts. Needs uv; a logged-in gh is recommended.

From Trail of Bits: starts from one confirmed vulnerability, distills its root cause, then writes and progressively generalizes CodeQL/Semgrep queries to find similar variants across the codebase and report them by severity.

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.

Plugin marketplace from security firm Trail of Bits with 40+ plugins for code auditing, CodeQL/Semgrep static analysis, variant analysis, supply-chain risk, smart contract security and reverse engineering. Codex can load it directly too.

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.

Query cloud resources and SaaS APIs live with SQL: plugins map AWS, Azure, GCP, GitHub, Kubernetes and other services to tables you can select from directly, no ETL needed. A single binary with Postgres built in.

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.

Consensus's official Codex plugin: uses its remote MCP to search 220 million peer-reviewed papers for literature reviews, bibliographies, research gap analysis and cited writing. Needs a Consensus sign-in; the free tier returns a limited number of results.

Security scans for a whole repo or for changes like PRs and commits, with threat modeling, vulnerability triage, fixes and re-verification; reports export to JSON, SARIF and more. OpenAI's official Codex plugin; requires Codex Security access.

OpenAI's official iOS skills: SwiftUI patterns and view refactoring, iOS 26 Liquid Glass, App Intents, performance audits with ETTrace sampling, memory leak hunting with memgraph, and simulator debugging. Needs macOS and Xcode; debugging skills rely on XcodeBuildMCP.

OpenAI's official life-science skills: 49 skills query public databases such as UniProt, ClinVar, gnomAD and AlphaFold through Python scripts, with a router skill that breaks down questions, normalizes entities and compiles sourced evidence. Written mainly for Codex.

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.

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.

Builds, refactors and debugs ChatGPT apps with the OpenAI Apps SDK: plans tools, scaffolds the MCP server and UI widgets, and checks the work against official docs. Maintained by OpenAI; formerly chatgpt-apps in openai/skills.
