Mistral's official open-source terminal coding assistant: uses Mistral models to read and write code, run commands and search the codebase, with multiple agent profiles and subagents, plus Skills, MCP and a --prompt scripting mode. Needs a Mistral API key.

Font toolkit: pyftsubset subsets fonts to the characters you use and outputs WOFF2 to shrink web fonts, and ttx converts fonts to editable XML for inspection and edits. Needs Python 3.11+ and the woff extra for WOFF2; check the license before subsetting commercial fonts.

Self-contained modern TeX/LaTeX engine based on XeTeX and TeX Live that downloads and caches support files on first build, compiling .tex to PDF in one command without installing a full TeX distribution.

Generates hand-drawn-style Excalidraw diagrams (.excalidraw files you can keep editing on excalidraw.com) from text, choosing fan-out, timeline or convergence layouts by how concepts relate. Optional uv and Playwright let the agent render and check layouts; colors live in one file you can restyle.

Read-only mirror of the community plugin marketplace maintained by Anthropic, with 2,000+ community plugins that passed submission review and automated security scans, for Claude Code and Claude Cowork.

Design token build tool: define colors, font sizes, spacing and other design specs in one JSON source, then style-dictionary build generates CSS, SCSS, iOS, Android and other platform code, keeping the design system and implementations in sync. Needs Node.js and a config.json.

Draws bar charts, histograms, line charts, scatter plots and box plots in the terminal from CSV/TSV on stdin, so you can glance at data distributions at the end of a shell pipeline. The command is uplot.
