Tools

Scaffolds a Claude Agent SDK project in Python or TypeScript interactively with /new-sdk-app, then a verifier agent checks dependencies, config and code against official best practices. Maintained by Anthropic.

Generates hook rules from a one-line description or by analyzing recent conversations. Rules are Markdown files with match conditions that block or warn on dangerous commands and unwanted patterns, and take effect without a restart. Official Anthropic plugin.

Toolkit for building Claude Code plugins: 7 skills on plugin structure, hooks, MCP integration, commands, subagents and skill writing, a guided eight-phase create command, and subagents for agent generation, plugin validation and skill review. Maintained by Anthropic.

UI/UX design knowledge base plugin with searchable UI styles, color palettes, font pairings, charts and guidelines for 20+ tech stacks; generates complete design system recommendations by product type. Needs Python 3 installed locally.

UI design knowledge base skill: looks up UI styles, palettes, font pairings, charts and UX guidelines by product type and generates a full design system, covering 22 stacks including React, SwiftUI and Flutter. Needs Python 3 locally.

Local LLM inference engine in plain C/C++ with a command-line chat and an OpenAI-compatible HTTP server; pulls and runs GGUF models straight from Hugging Face. Supports Apple Silicon, CUDA, Vulkan and other hardware, plus low-bit quantization.

Generates or edits images: photos, illustrations, textures, game sprites, product mockups and transparent assets. A built-in Codex system skill using the image_gen tool, no install needed; with approval it can use a bundled CLI script that needs OPENAI_API_KEY. By OpenAI.

Official shadcn/ui skill: uses the shadcn CLI to read project config and component docs, then adds, searches, composes and fixes components following styling, form and accessibility rules. Can also start new projects from presets.

Minimal, extensible terminal AI agent that can write its own prompt templates, skills, extensions and themes. Offers print, JSON and RPC modes for scripting, plus a TypeScript SDK. Needs Node.js 22.19+.

Multi-agent investment research framework where fundamental, sentiment, news and technical analysts, bull and bear researchers, a trader and risk managers debate a stock and produce a report and rating. Covers US, Hong Kong and A-shares. Needs Python and an LLM API key; not investment advice.

OpenAI's open-source general-purpose speech recognition model. The whisper command transcribes many languages, translates foreign speech into English and writes subtitle files. Needs FFmpeg; faster with a GPU.

Google's official open-source terminal agent using Gemini models with a 1M-token context. Built-in Google Search, file and shell tools, plus MCP support. Personal Google accounts get a free quota.

Open-source local design workbench and Claude Design alternative: builds web and mobile prototypes, slides, images and motion videos from a DESIGN.md system, exporting HTML, PDF, PPTX or MP4. MCP lets Claude Code and Codex use it. Needs the macOS or Windows app; Linux from source.

Helps agents build frontends that don't look templated: picks a design direction first, then tunes layout variance, motion intensity and information density. Also includes redesign audits, minimalist and brutalist styles, and design reference generation.

High-throughput LLM inference and serving engine: vllm serve starts an OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible server in one command. Supports 200+ model architectures from Hugging Face, quantization and distributed inference. Aimed mainly at NVIDIA, AMD and other GPUs.

Provides a sequential_thinking tool that guides the model to break complex problems into revisable, branching steps. Good for planning, analysis and tasks that need careful iteration. Official MCP reference server.

Baidu PaddlePaddle's official OCR and document parsing tool: the paddleocr command reads text from images and parses PDFs and scans into Markdown or JSON, supporting 100+ languages with models that run locally.

Official PaddleOCR MCP: text recognition and layout parsing for images and PDFs (PP-OCR, PP-StructureV3, PaddleOCR-VL), returning text or Markdown. Runs inference locally, or calls the official API or a self-hosted service.

Astral's extremely fast Python package and project manager written in Rust, replacing pip, pipx, poetry, pyenv and more. Supports lockfiles and multiple Python versions, and uvx runs Python tools without installing them.

MCP server built into the adaptive Python scraping framework Scrapling: supports plain HTTP requests, browser rendering and stealth fetching, and uses CSS selectors to pass only the target content to the AI, saving tokens and filtering out prompt injection.

Adaptive web scraping framework: scrapling extract turns a page into Markdown, text or HTML in one command, with CSS selectors and browser rendering for dynamic pages, plus an MCP server (needs the ai extra). Needs Python 3.10+ and a browser install on first use.

Open-source, LLM-friendly web crawler that turns pages into clean Markdown for RAG and agents. Ships the crwl CLI and supports deep crawling and question-driven data extraction (extraction needs an LLM key). Free to self-host.

Turns natural-language descriptions, Mermaid or a real code repo into interactive single-file HTML diagrams: architecture, flowcharts, sequence diagrams, data flows and state machines. Validates output automatically and exports PNG or SVG.

Rust CLI proxy that filters and compresses command output before it reaches the agent's context, covering git, tests, grep, ls and 100+ other commands and cutting bash output by up to about 90%. Hooks automatically rewrite commands run by Claude Code, Codex and others.
