Tools

All-in-one LLM fine-tuning framework: llamafactory-cli handles pretraining, SFT, PPO/DPO alignment and LoRA/QLoRA training, plus chat inference, weight merging and export, and OpenAI-style API serving for 100+ open models. Has a Web UI; training usually needs a GPU.

Command-line edition of the open-source OpenBB investment research platform: query stock prices, financial statements, macroeconomic and other financial data from the terminal, and automate data pulls with Routine scripts. Officially maintained; some sources need API keys.

Official OpenBB MCP server exposing the OpenBB Platform's equity, ETF, macroeconomic, crypto and news data to agents; enable only the tool categories you need to save context. Needs uv locally; some data sources need your own API keys. Not investment advice.

macOS cleanup and maintenance CLI (mo): clears caches and logs, fully uninstalls apps, analyzes disk usage, removes project build artifacts and shows system status. Preview deletions with --dry-run; disk analysis and status support JSON output. Needs macOS 12+.

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.

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.

Upstash's official Context7 CLI (ctx7): search libraries and pull up-to-date docs from the terminal, or set up the Context7 MCP and rules for Claude Code, Cursor and other agents in one step. Docs lookup needs no login; signing in raises rate limits.

Packs a web page, local HTML or dist folder into a lightweight desktop app with one command (built on Rust Tauri; macOS, Windows, Linux), with --json output and llms.txt for agents. Needs Node.js; installs Rust automatically if missing.

'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.

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+.

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.

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.

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.

General-purpose AI agent that runs on your machine, with a desktop app, CLI and API. Written in Rust, works with 15+ model providers and connects to 70+ extensions via MCP. Originally from Block, now part of the Linux Foundation's AAIF.

Design engineering skills by Emil Kowalski, author of Sonner and Vaul: choose animation easing and durations, review and improve motion, apply Apple design principles, make web apps feel native on phones, and help pick UI libraries and prototype multiple versions.

C/C++ port of OpenAI's Whisper speech recognition model that transcribes audio offline and outputs subtitles. Runs on CPU, with Apple Silicon and various GPU acceleration. Download a ggml-format model first.

Expo's official CLI: starts the React Native dev server, runs prebuild to generate native folders, runs apps locally on iOS and Android, and installs version-compatible dependencies. Ships with the expo package; call it with npx expo inside a project.

Astral's extremely fast Python linter and formatter written in Rust, replacing Flake8, isort and Black, with 900+ built-in rules and auto-fix.

Package manager for macOS and Linux: agents can brew install CLI tools and desktop apps (casks), or use brew bundle to restore a dev environment from a Brewfile.

Terminal multiplexer: run multiple sessions and panes in one terminal, with processes surviving disconnects. Agents use it to host long-running tasks and drive interactive programs, and many parallel multi-agent session tools build on it.

Microsoft's open-source AI quant investment research platform: the qrun command runs dataset building, model training, backtesting and evaluation from a YAML config, with many benchmark models. The official dataset is paused, so prepare market data per the README first.

Connects Claude Code to SourceKit-LSP so the agent can go to definitions, find references and inspect symbols in Swift code. Install the Swift toolchain or Xcode first. Official Anthropic plugin.

Official Anthropic plugin that reads local session logs in ~/.claude/projects and generates an interactive HTML usage report covering tokens, cache hit rate, subagents, skills and the most expensive prompts, with optimization tips. Needs Node.js.
