Tools

Official shadcn/ui CLI: initializes projects and adds component source to your codebase on demand, with switchable presets. Since v4 it offers --dry-run and --diff so agents can preview changes, and it comes with an agent skill.

Multi-agent investment research framework where fundamental, sentiment, news and technical analysts, bull and bear researchers, a trader and risk managers debate a stock and produce a report and rating. Covers US, Hong Kong and A-shares. Needs Python and an LLM API key; not investment advice.

Minimal, extensible terminal AI agent that can write its own prompt templates, skills, extensions and themes. Offers print, JSON and RPC modes for scripting, plus a TypeScript SDK. Needs Node.js 22.19+.

Local MCP server built into Browser Use: lets agents navigate, click, type and extract page content, or hand multi-step tasks to the built-in browser agent. Bring your own OpenAI or Anthropic API key.

Makes the agent answer in terse 'caveman' style to cut output tokens, compressing only prose while leaving code, commands and errors intact. Includes a local proxy that compresses logs, test output and other input. Works with Claude Code, Codex and 30+ other agents.

Addy Osmani's production-grade engineering skill pack covering spec, planning, implementation, testing, review and shipping, with commands like /spec, /plan, /build, /test, /review and /ship. Supports both Claude Code and Codex.

Reviews code changes before merge across five axes: correctness, readability, architecture, security and performance. Works on code and PRs from you, other agents or other people, judged by whether they improve overall code health. Part of Addy Osmani's agent-skills.

Engineering skill collection spanning define, plan, build, verify, review and ship, with /spec, /plan, /build, /test, /review and /ship commands, including TDD, code review and web performance audits. By Addy Osmani.

Helps agents build frontends that don't look templated: picks a design direction first, then tunes layout variance, motion intensity and information density. Also includes redesign audits, minimalist and brutalist styles, and design reference generation.

OpenAI's open-source general-purpose speech recognition model. The whisper command transcribes many languages, translates foreign speech into English and writes subtitle files. Needs FFmpeg; faster with a GPU.

Frontend design quality plugin: one skill plus 24 commands (audit, critique, polish and more) and 61 built-in deterministic rules that find common design flaws in AI-generated interfaces and fix them one by one.

Frontend design polish skill: one skill with 24 commands such as polish, audit, critique and typeset, plus 61 deterministic rules that catch typical AI-generated UI problems, with live iteration in the browser. Works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and others.

JavaScript, TypeScript and WebAssembly runtime with built-in formatting, linting, testing and compilation. Scripts get no file, network or environment access unless granted with --allow-* flags, making agent-generated scripts safer to run.

Google's official open-source terminal agent using Gemini models with a 1M-token context. Built-in Google Search, file and shell tools, plus MCP support. Personal Google accounts get a free quota.

Open-source local design workbench and Claude Design alternative: builds web and mobile prototypes, slides, images and motion videos from a DESIGN.md system, exporting HTML, PDF, PPTX or MP4. MCP lets Claude Code and Codex use it. Needs the macOS or Windows app; Linux from source.

Adaptive web scraping framework: scrapling extract turns a page into Markdown, text or HTML in one command, with CSS selectors and browser rendering for dynamic pages, plus an MCP server (needs the ai extra). Needs Python 3.10+ and a browser install on first use.

MCP server built into the adaptive Python scraping framework Scrapling: supports plain HTTP requests, browser rendering and stealth fetching, and uses CSS selectors to pass only the target content to the AI, saving tokens and filtering out prompt injection.

Microsoft's cross-browser end-to-end testing framework: one API drives Chromium, Firefox and WebKit, npx playwright test runs tests in parallel and isolation, with auto-waiting and trace replay for debugging failures.

High-throughput LLM inference and serving engine: vllm serve starts an OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible server in one command. Supports 200+ model architectures from Hugging Face, quantization and distributed inference. Aimed mainly at NVIDIA, AMD and other GPUs.

All-in-one JavaScript and TypeScript toolchain: a single bun binary is a Node.js-compatible runtime, package manager, test runner and script runner, with noticeably faster installs and test runs.

Turns natural-language descriptions, Mermaid or a real code repo into interactive single-file HTML diagrams: architecture, flowcharts, sequence diagrams, data flows and state machines. Validates output automatically and exports PNG or SVG.

Official PaddleOCR MCP: text recognition and layout parsing for images and PDFs (PP-OCR, PP-StructureV3, PaddleOCR-VL), returning text or Markdown. Runs inference locally, or calls the official API or a self-hosted service.

Baidu PaddlePaddle's official OCR and document parsing tool: the paddleocr command reads text from images and parses PDFs and scans into Markdown or JSON, supporting 100+ languages with models that run locally.

Analyzes a codebase with a multi-agent pipeline to build a knowledge graph of files, functions, classes and dependencies plus an interactive dashboard for architecture tours, semantic search and change impact analysis. Also handles knowledge bases; the first run uses many tokens.
