CLI-Tools

Static site generator written in Go that builds Markdown content into docs sites, blogs or landing pages in seconds, with a local preview server and an asset pipeline for images, CSS and JS.

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.

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.

General-purpose command-line fuzzy finder for any text input, such as file lists, command history or processes. Besides the interactive UI it has a non-interactive --filter mode, plus shell key bindings and completion.

Document parser from OpenDataLab that turns PDFs, images and Office files into Markdown or JSON, handling tables, formulas and complex layouts well, with page-by-page reading and citation anchors for agents. Parses locally by default; needs Python 3.10+.

Classic open-source OCR engine and CLI that reads text from images and outputs plain text, hOCR, searchable PDF or TSV. Supports 100+ languages; install the language data for each language you need.

All-in-one LLM fine-tuning framework: llamafactory-cli handles pretraining, SFT, PPO/DPO alignment and LoRA/QLoRA training, plus chat inference, weight merging and export, and OpenAI-style API serving for 100+ open models. Has a Web UI; training usually needs a GPU.

Multi-agent orchestration framework formerly called Claude Flow: ruflo init gives Claude Code nearly 100 specialized subagents, swarm coordination, cross-session vector memory and hooks; add --codex to configure Codex instead. Also works as a standalone MCP server or plugin marketplace.

Command-line edition of the open-source OpenBB investment research platform: query stock prices, financial statements, macroeconomic and other financial data from the terminal, and automate data pulls with Routine scripts. Officially maintained; some sources need API keys.

Runs GitHub Actions workflows locally in Docker, so you can test .github/workflows changes without repeated commits and pushes, or use workflows as a local task runner. Needs Docker installed.

Lightweight spec-driven development CLI: after initializing a project, commands such as /opsx:propose let humans and agents agree on change proposals and specs before coding. Supports Claude Code, Codex and 30+ other tools. Needs Node.js 20.19+.

Agentless IT automation: uses SSH and playbooks for configuration management, app deployment, cloud orchestration and ad hoc commands at scale, with nothing to install on target machines. Maintained primarily by Red Hat.

macOS cleanup and maintenance CLI (mo): clears caches and logs, fully uninstalls apps, analyzes disk usage, removes project build artifacts and shows system status. Preview deletions with --dry-run; disk analysis and status support JSON output. Needs macOS 12+.

Official Cline CLI sharing its agent core with the VS Code extension: plan/act modes, MCP, checkpoints and subagents; --yolo and --json run it unattended in CI and scripts. Sign in with Cline or a ChatGPT subscription, or bring your own API key.

Fast regex search across directories (command rg) that respects .gitignore, skips hidden and binary files by default and filters by file type. A go-to command for coding agents searching a codebase.

Parses PDF, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, HTML, images and audio, recovering layout, reading order, tables and formulas, and exports Markdown, HTML or lossless JSON. Started by IBM Research, now hosted by the LF AI & Data Foundation; runs fully locally.

Command-line toolkit for transcoding, cutting, joining, frame extraction and streaming of audio and video, including ffmpeg, ffprobe and ffplay. A core dependency for agents handling media. The GitHub repo is the official mirror.

Write videos in HTML, CSS and frame-seekable animations, preview them from the CLI and render deterministic MP4s. Comes with agent skills for product launch videos, captions and talking-head re-edits. Maintained by HeyGen; needs Node.js 22+ and FFmpeg.

Write videos in React and render them from the command line with npx remotion render, letting agents batch-produce data-driven videos. Free for individuals, nonprofits and companies of up to 3 people; larger for-profit companies need a license.

Multi-agent simulated hedge fund: agents modeled on investors like Buffett and Munger work with quant and risk modules to analyze stocks, with backtesting. Good for teaching investment frameworks. Needs Financial Datasets and model API keys; no real trading, not investment advice.

Community-maintained simplified command help with example-first pages for common CLI tools, easier to read than man. Install an official client (Python, Rust or Node.js), then run tldr followed by a command name.

Upstash's official Context7 CLI (ctx7): search libraries and pull up-to-date docs from the terminal, or set up the Context7 MCP and rules for Claude Code, Cursor and other agents in one step. Docs lookup needs no login; signing in raises rate limits.

Packs a web page, local HTML or dist folder into a lightweight desktop app with one command (built on Rust Tauri; macOS, Windows, Linux), with --json output and llms.txt for agents. Needs Node.js; installs Rust automatically if missing.
