Tools

Deep research assistant that runs locally with a built-in MCP server: searches arXiv, PubMed, Wikipedia and more over multiple rounds and writes cited reports. Needs Python 3.12+, uv and an LLM (local Ollama or an API key); web search needs SearXNG or similar. Runs take minutes to half an hour.

Say build a harness for this project and it designs a domain-specific agent team, generating subagent definitions, companion skills and orchestration, validates them and keeps evolving them from feedback. Supports workflow orchestration, persistent agent teams and subagent delegation.

Turns outlines or scripts into web slides that present in the browser (not .pptx files), with 36 themes and 15 full deck templates; press S for presenter mode with script and timer. Good for lessons, training and reports. Plain local files; no account or API key needed.

PDF command line written in pure Go with almost no external dependencies: dozens of subcommands to merge, split, crop, rotate, watermark, encrypt and decrypt, extract images and fonts, and work with forms.

Gives agents on-demand guidance for the modern web platform, covering View Transitions, container queries, Popover, INP optimization, accessibility and more, with browser compatibility data so they avoid outdated code. Maintained by the Google Chrome team; currently in preview.

Manages multiple Claude Code, Codex, Gemini and Aider sessions in parallel from one terminal: each task gets its own git worktree, can run in the background, and changes are reviewed before merging. Requires tmux and gh.

Lightweight OCR built on PaddleOCR models converted to ONNX, recognizing Chinese and English by default on CPU alone. The rapidocr CLI reads text from screenshots, photos and scanned page images. Needs Python; downloads models on first run, then works offline. Convert PDFs to images first.

Free remote MCP service that turns any GitHub repo or GitHub Pages site into a docs endpoint, so agents can read up-to-date docs and search code on demand and hallucinate fewer APIs. No sign-up or install; self-hosting is also possible.

Spec-driven project management for software: guides brainstorming into a PRD, breaks it into epics and dependent tasks synced as GitHub Issues, answers standup, next-step and blocker questions, and can dispatch several agents to code in parallel. Needs Git, an authenticated gh CLI and a GitHub repo.

Turns Peng Sida's public research-writing notes into a skill: revises abstracts, introductions, methods and experiments of ML/CV/NLP papers from a reviewer's view, checks that each claim has experimental evidence, and runs a pre-submission self-check. Pure methodology, no API key.

Offline speech toolkit for Apple Silicon Macs: CLI text-to-speech (including Chinese and voice cloning) and speech-to-text, for voicing lessons and explainer videos or transcribing lectures and interviews, with data staying local. Needs an M-series Mac and Python 3.10+; MP3 export needs ffmpeg.

Moonshot AI's official terminal coding agent: reads and edits code, runs commands, searches files and fetches web pages, with video input, MCP, plugins, subagents and hooks, plus Zed and JetBrains integration via ACP. Needs a Kimi sign-in or Moonshot API key. Replaces the archived Kimi CLI.

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.

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.

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.

OpenAI's official Codex plugin that uses the local API of the Zotero desktop app to search your library, export BibTeX, insert citations into LaTeX or Markdown drafts, and import new references after you confirm. Requires Zotero desktop.

Build with OpenAI best practices inside Codex: call the OpenAI API, build and deploy agents with the Agents SDK, create ChatGPT apps and prepare submission materials, and create API keys directly. Maintained by OpenAI; Codex only.

OpenAI's official Codex plugin for equity investors: earnings previews and recaps, DCF, three-statement and comps valuation, model updates, long/short pitches, catalyst calendars, sizing and hedging, and investment memos. Works with FactSet and PitchBook (paid) or uploads and public sources.

Linear's official plugin in OpenAI's Codex marketplace: search, create and update Linear issues, projects and initiatives from Codex, and draft PRDs, status updates and customer request summaries. Codex only; needs a Linear account and authorization.

OpenAI's official Codex plugin for adding the OpenAI Ads measurement pixel and optional Conversions API (CAPI) to a website, with local validation scripts plus key and deduplication guidance. Needs the site's source and an OpenAI Ads account; review manually before launch.

OpenAI's official Codex plugin that makes Google Drive the single entry point to search, organize, share and export files, handing Docs, Sheets, Slides and comments to dedicated sub-skills for summaries, edits and new files. Authorize your Google account in Codex.

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 Codex plugin for building frontend apps and generating visual assets, testing and debugging in a browser, plus best-practice skills for React, shadcn/ui, Stripe payments and Supabase databases. Codex only.
