Tools

Simple, fast alternative to find with intuitive syntax and regex and glob matching, skipping hidden and .gitignored paths by default. Can run commands on results in parallel; handy for agents locating files quickly.

Command-line tool for transferring data by URL over 20+ protocols including HTTP(S), FTP, SFTP, WebSocket and MQTT; a staple for agents calling APIs and downloading files. Preinstalled on macOS and most Linux distributions.

Lightweight multi-protocol command-line downloader that fetches in parallel segments from multiple sources over HTTP(S), FTP, SFTP, BitTorrent and Metalink. Resumes downloads, reads URLs in bulk from text files and offers a JSON-RPC interface for scripts or agents.

Official skill for OpenMAIC, Tsinghua THU-MAIC's open-source multi-agent classroom: from a topic or PDF it generates a full lesson with slides, quizzes, interactive simulations, project-based learning and AI teacher narration. Use a hosted access code, or self-host with an LLM API key.

Plugin for building LLM apps: LangGraph agents with memory and tool use, hybrid-search RAG, vector index tuning, prompt optimization and LLM evaluation. Includes 3 subagents and 8 skills.

Engine for math and explainer animations in Python (Community Edition, ManimCE): write scenes and render them to video with the manim command, letting agents create teaching and science animations. On macOS install cairo and pkg-config first; formulas need LaTeX.

Plans teams for seed to Series A startups: which roles to hire at each stage and in what order, org structure, plus salary, equity ranges and headcount budget. Compensation benchmarks are 2024 US market data; adjust for your market and have finance and legal review the plan.

Quant trading plugin from the wshobson/agents marketplace: quant analyst and risk manager subagents plus backtesting and risk metrics skills for strategy backtests, portfolio optimization and risk measures like VaR, Sharpe ratio and max drawdown. Needs local Python; not investment advice.

Data engineering plugin from the wshobson/agents marketplace: a data engineer subagent, a data pipeline command, and skills for Airflow DAGs, dbt transformations, Spark tuning and data quality, to help build ETL and data warehouses.

Templates and drafting guidance for offer letters, employment agreements and handbook policies, helping HR and legal produce consistent employment documents. Written for US employment rules; adapt them for other jurisdictions and have a lawyer review final drafts. No account or API key.

The 180+ skills bundled with the 90+ plugins in the wshobson/agents marketplace, covering development across many languages and frameworks, testing, ops, security, data and LLM apps. Install individually with npx skills or gh skill; skills only, without subagents or commands.

MLOps plugin from the wshobson/agents marketplace: data scientist, ML engineer and MLOps engineer subagents and a /ml-pipeline command that runs the pipeline in phases from data analysis and training to deployment and monitoring, plus ML pipeline and recommender system skills.

Kubernetes operations plugin from the wshobson/agents marketplace: a kubernetes-architect subagent plus four skills for manifest generation, Helm chart scaffolding, GitOps workflows and security policies. Community-maintained.

Multi-host plugin marketplace with 90+ single-purpose plugins, 200+ subagents and 180+ skills covering language-specific development, ops, security, data and multi-agent orchestration. Installing a plugin loads only that plugin's content.

HR and compliance plugin with HR and legal advisor subagents plus employment contract and GDPR skills, for drafting hiring materials, onboarding, offboarding and performance policies, employment contracts, privacy policies, terms of service and DPAs. Mainly US and EU rules.

Release automation for iOS and Android: lanes orchestrate builds, code signing management, screenshot generation and uploads to the App Store and Google Play, and agents can call a project's existing lanes directly.

Headless browser written from scratch in Zig for AI agents and automation, using less memory and running faster than headless Chrome in official benchmarks. fetch turns pages into Markdown, and it can serve CDP or MCP. Telemetry is on by default (an env var disables it); Windows needs WSL.

Community skill collection in GitHub's official repo: 400+ skills following the Agent Skills spec, covering codebase onboarding, testing, cloud and DevOps, agent security and more. Install individual skills with gh skills install.

Drafts self-reviews, peer reviews, 360 and upward feedback in STAR structure with concrete examples instead of filler, as Markdown drafts it never submits. With Microsoft WorkIQ it gathers your contributions from Microsoft 365 mail and meetings; otherwise it works from your notes.

Cross-platform shell built around structured data: pipelines pass tables instead of plain text, and you can open and query JSON, CSV, TOML and more directly. Default builds include nu --mcp, which serves it to agents as an MCP server.

Send files and folders between any two computers with one command: end-to-end encryption (PAKE), direct peer-to-peer with relay fallback, resumable transfers and proxy support, with no server setup or port forwarding.

Converts PDFs, images, PPTX, DOCX, XLSX, EPUB and more into Markdown, JSON or HTML, preserving tables, formulas and layout, with optional LLM help for higher accuracy. Needs Python 3.10+ and PyTorch; large-scale commercial use of the model weights needs a paid license.

A smarter cd that remembers your directories, ranking them by frequency and recency so you can jump with a fragment of the name. Add zoxide init to your shell config after installing.

Static analysis for shell scripts: flags syntax errors and common bash/sh pitfalls such as quoting and variable expansion, with suggested fixes. Good for checking agent-generated scripts and easy to add to CI.
