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.

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.

Trail of Bits skill that audits GitHub Actions workflows wired to AI coding agents (Claude Code Action, Codex, Gemini CLI and others) for prompt injection, env-variable relays, dangerous sandbox settings, wildcard allowlists and other privilege risks.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

OpenAI's official Codex plugin with about 50 skills that route questions to genetics, omics, pathway, protein structure, chemistry and clinical evidence sources, can split the work across parallel subagents, and synthesize sourced conclusions.

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.
