Tools

Distributed data integration tool and Apache top-level project with 160+ connectors for batch, real-time and CDC sync. Define jobs in config files and run them on the built-in Zeta engine or on Flink or Spark. Requires Java.

Extracts subtitles burned into videos to SRT or TXT, with all OCR done locally in 87 languages. Mainly a GUI (with batch mode); the CLI backend/main.py reads the video path and subtitle area from stdin. Needs Python 3.12+ and PaddlePaddle; paths cannot contain spaces or Chinese characters.

High-accuracy retrieval-augmented Q&A over paper PDFs, text and Office documents, filling in citation metadata, checking retractions and attaching traceable sources to answers. Provides the pqa CLI and a Python library. Needs an LLM API key by default; local models can be configured.

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.

Manage database schemas as code: declare the desired schema in SQL, HCL or your ORM and Atlas plans, lints and applies migrations, and can export existing databases as HCL, SQL or Mermaid ER diagrams. Supports PostgreSQL, MySQL and a dozen other databases.

Companion skills for Google Stitch: generate UIs from text or images, extract DESIGN.md from code, and turn designs into React or React Native components. From Google Labs but not an officially supported Google product; set up the Stitch MCP first.

Converts the output of 100+ commands such as dig, ps, ls and ifconfig, plus common file formats, into JSON so agents can parse it reliably with jq or scripts. Also usable as a Python library.

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.

Removes backgrounds from images and videos with one AI command: batch whole folders, use a portrait model, refine edges or swap in a solid color, and output transparent MOV or composite video onto a new background. Runs locally; install PyTorch and ffmpeg first. Models download on first run.

Open-source font editor: fontforge -script runs Python scripts headlessly to batch-edit glyphs, convert between OTF, TTF, UFO and other formats, and generate fonts, for type design and font processing. Homebrew installs the CLI version; install the desktop app for the GUI.

Query, modify and convert JSON, YAML, TOML, XML, CSV, HCL, INI and more with one selector syntax, editing config files in place or converting between formats, handy for agents handling structured data in scripts. A single dependency-free binary that works much like jq or yq.

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.

Query cloud resources and SaaS APIs live with SQL: plugins map AWS, Azure, GCP, GitHub, Kubernetes and other services to tables you can select from directly, no ETL needed. A single binary with Postgres built in.

Automatically aligns subtitle timing to a video's audio track, fixing translated subtitles that drift out of sync, or syncs against an already aligned subtitle file. Runs locally with no account; install Python and FFmpeg first.

Canva's official skill (OpenAI plugin directory): translates all text in a Canva design into another language and saves a copy, leaving the original intact. Useful for multilingual marketing. Needs a Canva account and the Canva MCP; longer text may need layout tweaks.

OpenAI's official data analytics skills: data quality assessment, KPI design, metric anomaly diagnosis, dashboards and analysis reports, market sizing and notebooks. Ships with a Codex plugin; some skills depend on its runtime.

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.

OpenAI's official Codex plugin that starts from a brief, product shots or references to generate marketing concepts, mood boards, product scenes, ad directions and social assets, compared and iterated on a reviewable board. Works with Figma and Canva.

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 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.

MagicPath's official Codex plugin from OpenAI's plugin marketplace: search and install UI components from MagicPath canvases, apply team themes, and move interfaces from local code onto the canvas to keep iterating. Needs a MagicPath account and Node.js.

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.
