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.

Searches Reddit, X, YouTube, Hacker News, Polymarket and more in parallel for the past 30 days of discussion on a topic, scores it by engagement and summarizes it into a brief. Good for market research and meeting prep. Needs Python 3.12+; some sources need API keys.

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.

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.

'rsync for cloud storage': sync and copy files across dozens of providers such as S3, Google Drive, OneDrive and Alibaba Cloud OSS, with encryption and mounting. Set up remotes with rclone config before use.

Diagnoses website SEO issues: checks crawling and indexing, Core Web Vitals, metadata and on-page content, and gives prioritized, actionable fixes. From the marketingskills collection.

Conversion rate optimization skill from the marketingskills collection: give it a homepage, landing page, pricing page or form and it diagnoses value proposition, headlines, CTAs, trust signals and friction, returning quick wins, high-impact changes, A/B test ideas and alternative copy.

Paid ads advisor: plans campaigns on Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn, X and more, covering audience targeting, bidding and budgets, account diagnostics and ROAS/CPA optimization. From the marketingskills collection; needs no API key itself.

Helps subscription products reduce churn: designs cancellation flows, save offers and exit surveys, spots churn risk signals, and plans dunning and win-back emails after failed payments. For customer success, lifecycle and growth teams; billing platforms like Stripe need setup on your side.

AI search optimization (AEO/GEO) skill from the marketingskills collection: checks whether ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews cite your content and suggests rewrites and structure that AI can extract and cite more easily, including llms.txt and structured data.

Edits and refreshes existing marketing copy in seven sweeps: clarity, voice, value, proof, specificity, emotion and objection handling, keeping the meaning and author's voice. Can also audit and update stale pages. Complements the copywriting skill; from marketingskills.

Writes or rewrites marketing copy for homepages, landing pages, pricing pages and more: first clarifies page goals, audience and selling points, then produces headlines, value propositions and calls to action. From the marketingskills collection.

From HKU's Data Intelligence Lab: plugins or skills for Claude Code, Codex and other agents generate agent-callable CLIs for apps like GIMP, Blender and LibreOffice, and the cli-hub package manager finds and installs ready-made community CLIs. Needs Python 3.10+.

QGIS command-line wrapper from HKU's CLI-Anything project: create and edit .qgz projects, add GeoPackage layers and features, build print layouts and export PDF or images, and call QGIS processing algorithms, with JSON results. Needs QGIS desktop and a Python that can import PyQGIS.

Personalized tutoring system from HKU's HKUDS: build a knowledge base from textbooks for Q&A, step-by-step solutions and quizzes, for teachers and self-learners. The deeptutor command outputs JSON for agents like Claude Code. Needs Python 3.11+, Node.js 20+ and an LLM API key.

Modern markup-based typesetting system, a LaTeX alternative for papers, reports and resumes. Fast incremental compilation; typst compile outputs a PDF in one command and watch mode recompiles automatically.

Unified database lookup skill from K-Dense's scientific collection: reproducibly queries about 80 public database APIs such as PubChem, UniProt, ChEMBL, ClinicalTrials.gov and FRED, returning traceable results with endpoints, parameters and count checks. Some need API keys.

Guides agents to the right statistical method for research data: t-tests, ANOVA, chi-square, regression and Bayesian analysis, checking assumptions, computing effect sizes and power, and reporting results in APA format. Python-based (pingouin, statsmodels); by K-Dense.

Systematic literature reviews following PRISMA and similar standards: searches PubMed, arXiv, bioRxiv and other databases, verifies each citation's DOI, and outputs Markdown and PDF in APA, Nature or other styles. Main web search uses parallel-cli and needs a Parallel account.

Teaches agents standard single-cell RNA-seq analysis with Scanpy: QC, normalization, PCA/UMAP, clustering, differential expression and plots, with ready-to-run pipeline scripts and guidance on converting Seurat and other R objects to h5ad. Needs Python 3.12+; by K-Dense.

Drafts, revises and reviews research manuscripts, tying every fact and number to verified evidence and covering reporting guidelines, authorship, AI disclosure and confidentiality; explicitly forbids fabricated citations or data. Includes offline check scripts; no API key needed.

Open-source crypto trading framework: download market data, backtest and optimize strategies, and paper trade from the CLI while agents iterate on strategies. Docker recommended; strategies need Python and live trading needs exchange API keys. Backtests don't guarantee returns.

End-to-end academic paper plugin: deep research and literature review, writing, multi-perspective simulated peer review, revision and finalization, pausing for your approval at each stage, with built-in citation verification and integrity checks. Licensed CC BY-NC.
