Tools

Microsoft's official Azure skill set: deployment prep and validation, deployment, production diagnostics, AKS, quota lookup, compliance audits, cloud migration and Foundry; the plugin version also connects the Azure MCP Server. Needs an Azure account and az login.

Docker's official MCP gateway (the docker mcp CLI plugin): runs servers from the Docker MCP Catalog in isolated containers, manages secrets, OAuth and tool toggles centrally, and gives multiple clients one endpoint. Built into Docker Desktop 4.59+; Docker CE and other setups must build the plugin.

Reads and writes Obsidian vaults from the terminal: search, view, create, edit, move and delete notes, and manage frontmatter and daily notes, without Obsidian running. Good for agents maintaining a personal knowledge base. Formerly Obsidian CLI.

MiniMax's official MCP: text-to-speech, voice cloning and voice design, text-to-image and video generation. Needs a MiniMax API key; the key and API host must belong to the same region (global or mainland China). Pay as you go.

User research skill: drafts research plans, screeners and interview guides, and turns transcripts into reports with coding tables, personas and priorities, no account needed. AI-moderated interviews, surveys and recruiting real or synthetic participants need a Cookiy AI account, billed per use.

Uses the Qdrant vector database as a semantic memory layer for agents: store information and retrieve it by meaning, connecting to a remote instance or a local path, with FastEmbed generating embeddings by default. Maintained by Qdrant.

HashiCorp's official server: looks up provider, module and policy docs in the Terraform Registry to help write IaC; with an HCP Terraform token it can also manage workspaces, variables and runs. Runs in Docker by default.

People-management skill pack for managers and HR with 7 skills: performance reviews, performance improvement plans (PIPs), 360-degree feedback surveys, interview scorecards, team health checks, team offsites and a 90-day plan for new managers. Text-only; no account or API key.

Batch-normalizes audio and video loudness to standards like EBU R128, with presets for podcasts, music and streaming video; handy for evening out course recordings, podcasts and videos before publishing. Needs FFmpeg and Python 3.10+.

A plugin marketplace with dozens of plugins: an enhanced skill-creator, scrapers for Bilibili, Douban and Feishu docs, China A-share news and US stock fundamentals, WeCom notifications, deep research and fact-checking, with docs in English and Chinese.

Audio plugin suite: transcription with local Qwen3-ASR or Whisper (MLX on Apple Silicon), speaker diarization, transcript correction, structured meeting notes and StepFun TTS. StepFun ASR and TTS need an API key.

Connects LLMs to ROS and ROS 2 robots: publish and subscribe to topics, call services and actions, set parameters, and read sensor and robot state, without changing robot code. The robot side needs rosbridge running.

Lets Claude Code watch videos: extracts frames with ffmpeg and transcribes timestamped audio from local files or YouTube links, to review footage, summarize lectures or find on-screen text. Needs Node.js 20+ and ffmpeg (yt-dlp for YouTube); transcribe with local Whisper or a Gemini/OpenAI key.

Stem separation CLI built on UVR models: splits audio into vocals and accompaniment in one command, isolates drums, bass and other stems, or removes noise and reverb; handy for stripping background music or extracting clean vocals. Models download on first use; needs Python and FFmpeg.

Helps managers and HR partners prepare tough performance feedback: frameworks like GAIN and Radical Candor, turning judgments into observable facts, role-playing the conversation, and planning follow-up. Distilled from Lenny's Podcast and Newsletter guests; prompt-only, no account needed.

Hiring lessons from 21 Lenny's Podcast and Newsletter guests on recruiting product managers and engineers: defining the role, sourcing through networks, assessing potential and closing offers, with frameworks and question lists. Methodology-focused, for recruiters and hiring managers.

Manages a Microsoft 365 tenant with one m365 command: SharePoint, Teams, OneDrive, Outlook, Planner, Power Platform and more, with JSON output and JMESPath filtering. An open-source PnP community project, not officially supported by Microsoft; register an Entra app before signing in.

Collects hiring advice from dozens of Lenny's Podcast and Newsletter guests to help you design realistic work samples or paid trials, shared rubrics and solid reference checks, instead of hiring on interview polish and resumes. Geared to product and tech teams; prompt-only, no account.

76 product skills distilled from Lenny's Podcast and Newsletter, covering product strategy, prioritization, user interviews, PRD writing, OKRs, launches and growth, hiring and team management. Each includes frameworks, checklists and templates, with verified quotes. Docs only, no account.

Opens HTML, Markdown or localhost pages in the browser via npx human-review so you can edit text directly and leave anchored comments, then sends every edit and comment back to the agent in one batch to apply to the source.

Community CLI for Feishu (Lark) focused on two-way conversion between Markdown and Feishu docs; also works with wikis, sheets, Bitable, messages, calendar, tasks and meeting notes, and ships 9 agent skills. Setup creates an app via QR scan; search and mail need extra user authorization.

Gives agents controlled access to MySQL: list databases and tables, inspect schemas and sample data, and run SQL, with multi-database mode, SSL and SSH tunnels. Configure your own database user, ideally with least privilege.

Generates book covers, movie posters, article covers and social images from one sentence, picking colors and composition from 30+ poster masters' styles to suit the subject. Rendering directly needs Python and a PipeLLM image API key; or just generate prompts for another image tool.

Local transcription that's compatible with the OpenAI Whisper CLI but faster and lighter: outputs SRT/VTT subtitles or text and can transcribe a live microphone. Needs Python; models download on first run; speaker labels need pyannote.audio and a Hugging Face token.
