Tools

Deep research assistant that runs locally with a built-in MCP server: searches arXiv, PubMed, Wikipedia and more over multiple rounds and writes cited reports. Needs Python 3.12+, uv and an LLM (local Ollama or an API key); web search needs SearXNG or similar. Runs take minutes to half an hour.

Terminal tool for exploring and wrangling tabular data: opens dozens of formats including CSV, JSON, Excel and SQLite for filtering, sorting, pivots and frequency counts. --batch mode replays actions headlessly or converts file formats.

Say build a harness for this project and it designs a domain-specific agent team, generating subagent definitions, companion skills and orchestration, validates them and keeps evolving them from feedback. Supports workflow orchestration, persistent agent teams and subagent delegation.

asc CLI for scripting the App Store Connect API: manage builds, TestFlight, metadata, signing and review submissions to automate iOS and macOS releases from the terminal or CI. Ships with a companion agent skill pack. Needs an App Store Connect API key.

Turns Peng Sida's public research-writing notes into a skill: revises abstracts, introductions, methods and experiments of ML/CV/NLP papers from a reviewer's view, checks that each claim has experimental evidence, and runs a pre-submission self-check. Pure methodology, no API key.

Offline speech toolkit for Apple Silicon Macs: CLI text-to-speech (including Chinese and voice cloning) and speech-to-text, for voicing lessons and explainer videos or transcribing lectures and interviews, with data staying local. Needs an M-series Mac and Python 3.10+; MP3 export needs ffmpeg.

Diffusion model inference in pure C/C++: one sd-cli command runs SD, FLUX, Qwen Image, Wan and more locally to create or edit images and short videos, with Metal acceleration on Mac. No cloud needed; bring your own model weights and use a release binary or build from source.

Figma's Codex plugin in OpenAI's official marketplace: implements UI from designs, generates Code Connect mappings, and creates or updates pages, component libraries, FigJam diagrams and slides in Figma. Needs a connected Figma account.

Consensus's official Codex plugin: uses its remote MCP to search 220 million peer-reviewed papers for literature reviews, bibliographies, research gap analysis and cited writing. Needs a Consensus sign-in; the free tier returns a limited number of results.

OpenAI's official life-science skills: 49 skills query public databases such as UniProt, ClinVar, gnomAD and AlphaFold through Python scripts, with a router skill that breaks down questions, normalizes entities and compiles sourced evidence. Written mainly for Codex.

OpenAI's official Codex plugin marketplace (openai-curated) with 60+ plugins such as Figma, Notion, GitHub, Stripe and Vercel, each bundling skills, MCP servers and app connections into one install.

Has the agent build a local Next.js editor that turns app screenshots into App Store and Google Play marketing images: real device frames, bold headlines, 18 visual styles, multiple languages and RTL layouts, with one-click export of every required size. Needs Node.js.

Reproduces issues on the Android emulator: installs builds, drives the UI with adb, dumps the UI tree, takes screenshots, captures logcat, and gathers performance evidence with Simpleperf and Perfetto. OpenAI's official Codex plugin; needs the Android SDK.

OpenAI's official Codex plugin with about 50 skills that route questions to genetics, omics, pathway, protein structure, chemistry and clinical evidence sources, can split the work across parallel subagents, and synthesize sourced conclusions.

Creates, edits and validates reproducible Python and SQL Jupyter notebooks: organizes cells as reports or tutorials, checks conclusions against actual output and reruns top to bottom before handoff. Maintained by OpenAI in the Data Analytics plugin of openai/plugins.

OpenAI's official Codex plugin for iOS: SwiftUI UI work and refactoring, App Intents, simulator debugging, performance profiling and memory leak hunting, with XcodeBuildMCP built in. Requires macOS and Xcode; Codex only.

OpenAI's official Codex plugin for macOS apps: building and running, SwiftUI scenes and AppKit interop, testing and troubleshooting, signing, notarization and packaging, and logging instrumentation. Requires macOS and Xcode; Codex only.

OpenAI's official iOS skills: SwiftUI patterns and view refactoring, iOS 26 Liquid Glass, App Intents, performance audits with ETTrace sampling, memory leak hunting with memgraph, and simulator debugging. Needs macOS and Xcode; debugging skills rely on XcodeBuildMCP.

OpenAI's official Codex plugin that guides sequencing analysis from BCL/FASTQ: QC, RNA-seq differential expression, single-cell, variant calling and metagenomics, favoring nf-core and other public pipelines with reproducible run logs. Checks for local tools first. Research use only.

Build with OpenAI best practices inside Codex: call the OpenAI API, build and deploy agents with the Agents SDK, create ChatGPT apps and prepare submission materials, and create API keys directly. Maintained by OpenAI; Codex only.

OpenAI's official Codex plugin that uses the local API of the Zotero desktop app to search your library, export BibTeX, insert citations into LaTeX or Markdown drafts, and import new references after you confirm. Requires Zotero desktop.

Turns articles, reports, papers or notes into a .pptx of full-slide images with speaker notes, in 12 styles such as lectures and thesis defenses; slide text is not editable. Needs Python 3; uses Codex's built-in image generation, or an OpenAI-compatible image API key in Claude Code.

Open-source LLM evaluation platform: one opencompass command picks the model and datasets and runs the evaluation across hundreds of benchmarks. Works with local Hugging Face models and API models, with vLLM and LMDeploy for faster inference.

Converts and two-way syncs Jupyter notebooks with plain Python scripts or Markdown, so agents can edit research and teaching notebooks like ordinary text and diffs stay readable. Needs a local Python environment; install with pip.
