Tools

Write your resume in YAML and render a cleanly typeset PDF from the command line: multiple themes, fine control of margins, colors and fonts, strict field validation and multi-language support. A companion agent skill is available. Needs Python 3.12+.

Automattic's offline English grammar checker: checks spelling, grammar and word choice locally in milliseconds without sending your text anywhere. Homebrew installs harper-cli for batch-checking files (still experimental) and harper-ls for editors. English only.

Alibaba's open-source offline data sync tool: JSON job configs batch-sync between heterogeneous sources like MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, Hive, HDFS and MaxCompute, run with python datax.py. Needs JDK 1.8+ and Python; download and unpack the official toolkit.

CLI version of the VideoCaptioner subtitle assistant: transcribes courses, lectures and interviews, uses an LLM to segment, proofread and translate, then burns subtitles into the video. Free ASR and Bing translation work out of the box; LLM refinement needs an API key. Python 3.10 to 3.12.

Lets agents call thousands of ready-made scrapers and automation Actors from Apify Store to pull data from social media, search engines, maps, e-commerce sites and more. Maintained by Apify; needs an Apify account (OAuth) or API token.

ModelScope's official training framework for LLMs and multimodal models: the swift command covers pretraining, fine-tuning, RL, inference, evaluation, quantization and deployment for 600+ text and 400+ multimodal models, with Megatron parallelism and a web UI. Usually needs a GPU.

Version datasets and models the way Git versions code: data lives in remote storage like S3 or GCS while versions are tracked in your Git repo. Also offers reproducible pipelines and local experiment tracking, rerunning only the steps affected by a change.

Writes precise prompts for a specific AI tool: identifies the target tool, extracts your intent, asks at most three questions if details are missing, then outputs a lean, paste-ready prompt. Covers dozens of tools including ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor, Midjourney and Sora.

Bundles a whole web page with its CSS, images, fonts and scripts into a single HTML file that opens offline exactly as it looked, good for archiving pages or handing them to an agent for offline analysis. It does not run JavaScript, so pre-render dynamic pages with a headless browser.

Open-source zero-shot TTS via f5-tts_infer-cli: from a few seconds of reference audio it reads Chinese or English text in the same voice, handy for lessons and videos. Needs Python, PyTorch and FFmpeg, ideally a GPU. Pretrained models are non-commercial; get consent before cloning a voice.

Turns 18 kinds of sources, including doc sites, GitHub repos, PDFs and videos, into skill packages for Claude and other platforms, or exports RAG chunks and vector store data. Optional MCP server, and it can call a local agent like Claude Code to enrich content. Needs Python 3.10+.

Open-source grammar, spelling and style checker for 20+ languages including English, German, French, Spanish and Portuguese. Proofread drafts in bulk from the CLI or run a local HTTP checking server for agents. For writers, translators and language teachers. Needs Java 17 (Homebrew includes it).

ConardLi's skill collection: turn articles or scripts into web presentations you can screen-record as videos (23 themes, optional voiceover), lay out material as shareable long-form web pages, search local knowledge base folders, web design, and GPT-Image-2 image generation with 79 templates.

Rewrites an article or script as narration, then builds a click-through 16:9 web presentation you can screen-record into an explainer video, with optional synthesized voiceover. Good for lessons, YouTube tutorials and product walkthroughs. Needs Node.js; voiceover needs a MiniMax or OpenAI key.

Nearly 100 skills spanning the AI research workflow: ideation and literature review, fine-tuning and post-training, distributed training, inference serving, evaluation, interpretability and paper writing, tied together by an autoresearch orchestration skill.

Codex-native version of Academic Research Skills: one skill chains topic selection and literature review, drafting, simulated peer review, revision guidance and experiment planning, with citation verification and integrity checks. For grad students and faculty. Needs Codex; CC BY-NC 4.0 license.

Plugin marketplace for AI research with nearly 100 skills in 23 categories, from ideation, fine-tuning and post-training to distributed training, inference serving, evaluation and paper writing, coordinated end to end by the autoresearch skill.

Command-line framework for warehouse modeling and ELT transformations: write models in SQL and let dbt handle dependencies, data tests and documentation. v2 is rewritten in Rust as a single binary. Maintained by dbt Labs; needs a data warehouse connection.

MiniMax's official Excel skill: read, analyze, create, edit and validate xlsx files and fix broken formulas. Edits existing files at the XML level to keep formatting, formulas and pivot tables; writes results as formulas with finance-style color coding. Needs Python (pandas); LibreOffice optional.

PostgreSQL command-line client with smart autocompletion and syntax highlighting. Compatible with psql environment variables, and -c runs a statement and exits, so agents can query databases non-interactively.

Turns Markdown outlines into interactive HTML mind maps you can collapse and zoom, with inlined assets for offline use and a watch mode that refreshes live. Good for mapping requirements, lesson planning and organizing knowledge.

Simon Willison's LLM CLI and Python library: call OpenAI, Claude, Gemini and local models from the terminal, with conversations logged to SQLite automatically, plus embeddings, structured extraction, tool calling and a plugin system.

A Chrome extension that hands the browser you use every day to your agent, keeping your logins and settings, with screenshots, network monitoring, bookmarks and history, and semantic search over tab content. Install the extension and mcp-chrome-bridge first.

Converts text to speech with Microsoft Edge's online TTS service and can generate subtitle files at the same time. No API key needed, with voices for many languages. Not an official Microsoft project and depends on that online service staying available.
