Tools

Document parser from OpenDataLab that turns PDFs, images and Office files into Markdown or JSON, handling tables, formulas and complex layouts well, with page-by-page reading and citation anchors for agents. Parses locally by default; needs Python 3.10+.

Job search system that runs in your local AI coding CLI: scans job portals, scores roles with a structured A-H evaluation and a 1-5 rating, flags fake listings, tailors ATS resumes and cover letters, and tracks applications. Never submits for you. Needs Node.js.

Multi-agent orchestration framework for Claude Code and Codex, formerly Claude Flow: swarm coordination, self-learning memory and cross-machine federated communication. The marketplace offers 30+ plugins; full features need npx ruflo init.

Multi-agent orchestration framework formerly called Claude Flow: ruflo init gives Claude Code nearly 100 specialized subagents, swarm coordination, cross-session vector memory and hooks; add --codex to configure Codex instead. Also works as a standalone MCP server or plugin marketplace.

Open-source agentic video production: open Claude Code or Codex in the cloned repo, describe the video, and the agent handles research, script, voiceover, footage, subtitles and editing, confirming storyboard and cost first. Needs Python, Node.js and FFmpeg; free assets work without API keys.

Classic open-source OCR engine and CLI that reads text from images and outputs plain text, hOCR, searchable PDF or TSV. Supports 100+ languages; install the language data for each language you need.

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.

Write videos in React and render them from the command line with npx remotion render, letting agents batch-produce data-driven videos. Free for individuals, nonprofits and companies of up to 3 people; larger for-profit companies need a license.

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.

Generates self-contained HTML+SVG diagrams in an editorial style: architecture, flowcharts, sequence, swimlane, Gantt and dozens more types. Can match brand colors from a website and redraw imported Mermaid, draw.io and Excalidraw sources.

Official MCP for the open-source design tool Penpot: through the Penpot plugin API, agents can query, modify and generate designs, supporting design-to-code and code-to-design. Run npx -y @penpot/mcp@latest first and load the MCP plugin in Penpot to connect.

'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.

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.

MuseScore 4 command-line wrapper from CLI-Anything: lets agents transpose scores, extract parts, add or remove instruments, inspect score info and export PDF, MIDI, MusicXML, MP3 or braille. Handy for music teachers preparing scores in bulk. Needs MuseScore 4 and Python 3.10+.

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+.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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 the Pyright language server for static type checking and code intelligence in Python. Install pyright first with npm, pip or pipx. Official Anthropic plugin.
