Microsoft's official Azure CLI (az) for managing VMs, storage, resource groups and other Azure resources, with JMESPath queries, table or JSON output and clear exit codes for scripting. Run az login first.

17 social media skills from MarTech AI newsletter author Charlie Hills: build a voice profile from an interview and 3-5 past posts, then write LinkedIn posts, Reels scripts, hooks and content matrices, plus Gemini prompts for thumbnails and carousels. Some skills take optional Apify or Gemini keys.

Moves files to the trash instead of deleting them, with commands to list, restore and empty trashed files, so anything an agent deletes by mistake can be recovered. Follows the FreeDesktop.org trash spec and shares the trash with GNOME and KDE.

English prose linter that turns usage guides such as Garner's and advice from great writers into rules, flagging clichés, redundancy, bad comparisons and usage errors line by line, with JSON output for agents. Runs locally with Python; English only.

Stores agent memory as local Markdown notes that both people and AI can read, write, search and link, and you can open them directly in Obsidian. Local-first, open source and free, with a paid cloud sync option.

Uses Obsidian's community Local REST API plugin so agents can list, read, search, append to and delete notes, and insert content at a heading, block reference or frontmatter field. Install that plugin and configure its API key first.

Teaches agents to code against the latest Gemini API and Python/TypeScript SDKs: multi-turn chat, function calling, structured output, and image and speech generation, while avoiding deprecated older models. Maintained by Google's Gemini team.

Gemini API development skills: gemini-api-dev (core API and SDKs), gemini-live-api-dev (real-time bidirectional audio/video streaming) and gemini-omni-flash-api (Omni video generation and editing), filling in APIs released after model training cutoffs. Maintained by Google's Gemini team.

Writes or rewrites English docs in the spirit of ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English: short sentences, active voice, condition before command, one word one meaning, terms defined at first use. Plain mode by default, Strict mode for STE compliance, plus a rule-by-rule check mode.

Visually compares two PDFs page by page: reports differences via exit code, writes a PDF with differences highlighted, or opens a GUI for side-by-side review. Useful for checking contract or generated-document revisions. No longer actively developed.

Create, read and modify xlsx workbooks without Microsoft Excel installed: formulas, formatting and conditional formatting, charts, pivot tables and tables. Runs locally over stdio or as a remote HTTP service.

Builds Markdown and Jupyter notebooks into online textbook sites with a TOC, math, citations and cross-references, plus publication-quality PDF export; popular for course notes. A Jupyter subproject installed via pipx or npm; PDF export needs Typst or LaTeX.

Fast async link checker written in Rust that scans websites and Markdown, HTML and other files for broken links and email addresses, with JSON output, config files and an official GitHub Action, often wired into docs CI.

Terminal tool for offline IP geolocation and CDN provider lookup, supporting QQwry, GeoIP2, ip2region and other databases. Pipe output from dig, nslookup and similar commands through it to annotate IPs automatically.

11 skills covering the full AI short-drama and motion-comic pipeline: source analysis, episode scripts, visual design, storyboards, image and video prompts, production, editing and review. Image and video generation needs paid API keys (e.g. Seedance, MiniMax); requires Python 3.9+ and ffmpeg.

From Dagger: gives every coding agent an isolated container and Git branch so several agents can work in parallel, and you can view command logs, take over the terminal or discard results anytime. Needs Docker and Git locally; still experimental.

From Dagger: gives each coding agent its own container and git branch so multiple agents work in parallel without interfering, with command logs and the ability to take over the terminal at any time. Connects via MCP; needs Docker and Git. Still experimental.

Hugging Face's official hf CLI: search, download and upload models and datasets, manage repos and storage buckets, and run jobs on Hugging Face's cloud. Output adapts automatically for agents, and hf skills add installs companion skills. Uploads and similar actions need a login.

Knownsec's open-source Python-use agent: describe a task in plain language and it writes and runs Python on your machine, e.g. tidying Excel files, summarizing attendance or screening resumes. Needs Python 3.11+ and a model API key such as DeepSeek; code runs locally, so back up important files.

NVIDIA's official, verified catalog of hundreds of skills covering CUDA-X libraries, NeMo training, NIM and Dynamo inference, RAG blueprints, Jetson, Omniverse and robotics simulation. The install adds only nvidia-skill-finder, which recommends other skills and installs them once you confirm.

NVIDIA's official plugin that finds and installs the right skills from NVIDIA's catalog for your task, spanning CUDA acceleration, NIM inference, NeMo training, RAG blueprints, Omniverse simulation and robotics. Listed in both the Claude and Codex official marketplaces.

Marp's official CLI: exports Markdown slide decks to HTML, PDF, PPTX or images, with watch mode and a preview server. PDF and PPTX export need Chrome, Edge or Firefox installed locally.

Open-source PDF table extraction with a camelot CLI: exports tables from financial reports, bank statements and statistical reports to Excel, CSV or Markdown, with an accuracy score. Needs Python 3.10+; handles text-based PDFs by default, scans need the ml and ocr extras. Double-check results.

Microsoft's official Azure MCP: one server covering dozens of Azure services, including Storage, Cosmos DB, AKS, App Service, Key Vault and Monitor, so agents can query and manage cloud resources. Sign in to Azure first.
