Tools

A cat replacement with syntax highlighting, line numbers and Git change markers, plus --line-range to print specific lines. Falls back to plain text in pipes and other non-interactive use, and pairs with git diff or tail -f for code and logs.

'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.

Shapes the agent's replies for a reader with ADHD: lead with the next action, number multi-step work, restate progress every turn, hold back tangents, give concrete time estimates and make finished work visible. Turn it on with /i-have-adhd; it lasts until you say stop adhd mode.

Creates a local CA with one command and issues development HTTPS certificates trusted by your system and browsers, for localhost, IPs and wildcard domains, with no extra configuration. Run mkcert -install once first to add the root certificate to the trust store.

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+.

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+.

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.

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.

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.

Teaches agents to read and write Obsidian vaults: Obsidian-flavored Markdown, Bases data views, JSON Canvas and the Obsidian CLI, plus Defuddle web content extraction and Knap template rendering. Maintained by Obsidian CEO kepano.

From Obsidian CEO Steph Ango (kepano): teaches agents to write Obsidian-flavored Markdown, Bases and Canvas files and work with vaults through the Obsidian CLI, plus skills like web page content extraction. Also installable into Codex and other agents via npx skills.

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 built for coding agents: run Claude Code, Codex and others in split panes, each marked working, blocked or idle, with sessions surviving disconnects. Agents can also create panes and message each other through the CLI.

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.

HashiCorp's infrastructure-as-code tool: manage multi-cloud and SaaS resources with declarative config, previewing changes with plan before running apply. Providers cover all major clouds. Licensed under BSL 1.1.

Ultra-lightweight, self-hosted personal AI agent framework in Python: WebUI, terminal and chat channels (Telegram, Discord, Slack, WeChat, Feishu, email), long-term memory, cron, MCP and multi-agent delegation; reads PDF and Office files. OpenAI-compatible or local models; Python 3.11+.

Collection of 2,400+ installable SKILL.md skills across development, security, cloud and ops, AI, marketing and more, with the AAS Core local MCP and an installer that help agents search, pick skills and preview install plans. Formerly antigravity-awesome-skills.

Write slides in Markdown with built-in code highlighting, LaTeX math and Mermaid diagrams; slidev export outputs PDF, PPTX or PNG. Install playwright-chromium in the project before exporting.

Free, open-source offline OCR desktop app for screenshots, batch images, scanned PDFs and QR codes, callable via the umi-ocr CLI or an HTTP API (the CLI relies on the app's local HTTP service, on by default). Windows and Linux only.
