Tools

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.

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.

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.

Official Anthropic skill for cleaning messy Excel exports: trims spaces, standardizes case and dates, converts text numbers, dedupes, and flags mixed types, garbled text and errors. Keeps originals via helper-column formulas and confirms each step. Works in Claude for Excel; local files need Python.

Meeting minutes skill from GitHub's awesome-copilot: turns notes, transcripts or speech-to-text output into structured minutes with attendees, agenda, decisions and action items with owners and due dates, asking when details are missing. Best for internal meetings under an hour.

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.

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.

ByteDance's open-source multimodal agent CLI: operates browsers via vision or the DOM and calls terminal, file and MCP tools to complete tasks, with a Web UI and headless server mode. Needs Node.js 22+ and a model API key.

Browser automation MCP server open-sourced by ByteDance in the UI-TARS-desktop repo: drives pages through Puppeteer accessibility data with an optional vision mode, running locally over stdio or remotely over SSE or Streamable HTTP.

When a user asks whether a skill exists for some task, searches the skills.sh ecosystem with the skills CLI, then recommends and installs a fit. Maintained by Vercel Labs and shipped in the skills CLI repo.

Package manager for the open Agent Skills ecosystem: one command installs skills from GitHub and other sources into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and dozens more agents, with search, update and removal. From Vercel Labs.

Detects your CPU, memory and GPU and scores open models on whether they run, speed, quality and context, then works with local runtimes like Ollama, llama.cpp and MLX to download and benchmark them. recommend --json gives agent-friendly output.

Translates full PDF papers while preserving formulas, charts and layout (command pdf2zh), outputting monolingual and side-by-side bilingual PDFs. Uses Google Translate by default and can switch to DeepL, OpenAI and others; also runs as an MCP server.

Trading research agent from HKU's HKUDS whose MCP server offers 70+ tools for quotes, financials, backtesting and research across A-shares, Hong Kong and US stocks and crypto. Needs local Python; HK, US and crypto research need no API key. For research only; not investment advice.

Local model gateway that routes requests from Claude Code, Codex and other coding agents to providers like DeepSeek, Kimi, Gemini and OpenRouter, with failover, rule-based routing and request logs. Bring your own API keys.

Distills technical books, doc folders or paper collections (PDF, EPUB, DOCX, Markdown and more) into an agent skill with a core framework, on-demand chapter files, glossary and cheat sheet for lookup while working. Extraction needs local Python; poppler or docling optional for PDFs.

Official CLI for Tencent's open-source knowledge base platform WeKnora: upload documents, manage knowledge bases, run hybrid search and answer questions from them, or serve as a read-only MCP. Needs your own WeKnora deployment and a source build with Go 1.26+.

Claude Code plugin for Next AI Draw.io that starts its Draw.io MCP server via npx. Generate and edit flowcharts, architecture and sequence diagrams in plain language, with live browser preview, version history and .drawio export. Needs Node.js.

Lightweight command-line JSON processor that slices, filters, maps and transforms JSON with concise expressions and no runtime dependencies. A staple for agents parsing API responses and logs.

Prepares structured briefs for meetings with legal stakes, such as contract negotiations, board meetings, compliance reviews or litigation: attendees and agenda, related agreements and open issues, negotiation points, and post-meeting action items. From Anthropic's legal plugin; verify the brief.

Anthropic's official knowledge work plugin: one question searches your connected chat, email, cloud docs, wiki and project tools at once and returns a sourced answer; can also produce daily or weekly digests. Preset MCP connectors for Slack, Notion, Atlassian, Asana and more, each needing auth.

Generates project or team status reports with an executive summary, overall red/yellow/green status, key metrics, risks and open decisions, turning scattered project tool activity into a report for leadership. From Anthropic's official operations plugin.
