Tools

A research plugin for Claude Code: commands like /omp:survey, /omp:experiment and /omp:write chain literature review, topic selection, experiments, writing and self-review, with 5 specialized agents and 34 research skills that remember project progress across sessions. Experiments lean toward ML.

21 English writing rules (12 from The Elements of Style, Orwell, Pinker and other classics, 9 from observed LLM habits) for clearer, leaner papers, grant proposals, design docs and documentation. Expository English only; not for fiction or marketing copy.

Economics writing skill built on 50+ guides (Cochrane, McCloskey and others): shapes abstracts, introductions and conclusions by paper type and 13 identification strategies such as DiD, IV and RDD, simulates three referee scores and flags citations to verify.

Two skills for before and after peer review: review-revision checks a manuscript as a senior reviewer would and plans section-by-section revisions; rebuttal-response triages reviewer comments, plans extra evidence and drafts point-by-point replies. Takes PDF, LaTeX, Word or Markdown.

The five-agent PaperOrchestra pipeline (outline, figures, literature review, section writing, polishing) as skills: turns research ideas, experiment logs and a conference template into a LaTeX paper and checks citations via Semantic Scholar. Needs Python; verify the draft yourself.

Lets agents operate WPS Office Writer, Spreadsheets and Presentation on your computer through 200+ MCP tools covering formulas, pivot tables, charts, comments, slide styling and animation. Requires WPS; clone, build from source and install the WPS add-in. Runs on macOS, Windows and Linux.

Controls local WPS Writer, Spreadsheets and Presentation via MCP with 200+ tools (formulas, pivot tables, layout, slide polishing) plus companion skills. The plugin installs only the skills; build the MCP server and WPS add-in per the README. Needs WPS Office and Node.js 18+.

Official Firecrawl skill: drives the Firecrawl CLI to search, scrape, map site URLs, batch-crawl, interact with pages and monitor changes, returning LLM-ready Markdown. Search and scrape have a rate-limited free tier; crawling and monitoring need an account or self-hosted instance.

Firecrawl's official CLI: scrape, search, map and crawl sites and interact with pages in a browser from the terminal, with Markdown output; can also install companion skills for coding agents. Needs a Firecrawl account or API key, or point it at a self-hosted instance.

Compares two versions of a LaTeX manuscript and produces a .tex that marks additions and deletions in color and strikethrough; compile it for a tracked-changes PDF to show reviewers, or diff versions from Git history. Ships with TeX Live and MiKTeX; needs Perl.

Searches about 30 biomedical sources, including PubMed, ClinicalTrials.gov, ClinVar and OncoKB, with one command syntax, covering literature, clinical trials, genetic variants, drugs and pathways. Ships as both a CLI and an MCP server.

Turns web pages, long PDFs, Word files, images or code into tutor-style study notes: Markdown notes plus searchable HTML knowledge cards with concept breakdowns and mind maps. Needs Python 3.8+, plus Chrome for some sites; the optional tutor chat needs an OpenAI-compatible API key.

Anthropic's official life sciences plugin marketplace: install MCP plugins such as PubMed, BioRender, Synapse, ChEMBL and 10x Genomics, plus research skills for single-cell RNA QC, Nextflow pipelines and scvi-tools. Some data sources need an account or subscription.

PubMed plugin from Anthropic's life sciences marketplace: connects to the US National Library of Medicine's remote MCP to search biomedical literature and research papers. No account needed.

Anthropic's official research skill built on Fischbach and Walsh's problem-selection framework (Cell): a conversational guide to refining project ideas, assessing risk and success criteria, unblocking stalled research and choosing directions. No setup or account needed.

Official BioRender plugin in Anthropic's life sciences marketplace: connects Claude Code to BioRender's scientific icons, templates and figures to find assets and make paper figures, lecture slides and talk graphics. Needs a free BioRender account; authorize it in /plugin after installing.

Plugin from Wiley in Anthropic's life sciences marketplace: connects the Scholar Gateway remote MCP for semantic search across Wiley's peer-reviewed journals, with answers carrying checkable citations and DOI links. Good for literature reviews. Needs a free Scholar Gateway account.

Redis's official MCP server: read and write strings, hashes, lists, streams, JSON and other data structures in natural language, with vector indexing and search and pub/sub. Bring your own Redis instance; runs via uvx.

Lets agents deploy a local folder or file contents straight to Google Cloud Run, list services and view their details and logs, and list or create GCP projects. Maintained by Google; sign in with gcloud and set up Application Default Credentials first.

Official Docker skills: containerize projects, optimize and harden Dockerfile builds, orchestrate with Compose, use Docker Sandboxes and Docker Agent, with confirmation guardrails before deletes and other destructive actions.

Railway's official CLI: deploy with railway up and manage infrastructure config, with token auth for non-interactive CI runs. The installer can set up the Railway skill and MCP for Claude Code, Codex and others in one step. Needs a Railway account.

DAIR.AI learning plugin that turns YouTube lectures and talks into local study material: extracts slide frames, builds timestamped transcripts, and lets you take notes and review in a bundled web viewer. Needs Python, yt-dlp and ffmpeg.

Official DuckDB skills: query local or S3 CSV, Parquet, Excel and JSON files with SQL or plain language, attach databases, convert formats, analyze spatial data and look up documentation. Needs the DuckDB CLI; tested only on macOS and Linux.

Elastic's official skills teaching agents to use Elasticsearch and Kibana correctly: index design, ES|QL queries, search relevance tuning, dashboards, observability troubleshooting and security alert triage. Currently a technical preview.
