Tools

CLI and library for evaluating and red-teaming LLM apps: compare prompts and model outputs in bulk, scan for security vulnerabilities and plug into CI/CD, with evals running locally. Now part of OpenAI and still open source under MIT.

160+ specialized Claude Code subagents, packaged as plugins in 10 categories such as core development, languages, infrastructure, testing and security, and data and AI, so you install only what you need.

Open-source e-book manager whose command-line tools (ebook-convert, ebook-meta, calibredb) batch-convert between EPUB, MOBI, AZW3, PDF, DOCX and more and manage library metadata. The install command is Linux-only; on macOS and Windows use the installer.

Define cloud infrastructure in general-purpose languages like TypeScript, Python and Go, then preview and deploy with pulumi up to AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes and 300+ other providers. Open source and maintained by Pulumi.

Declarative diagram scripting language: describe architecture diagrams, flowcharts and sequence diagrams in concise text with automatic layout, then render with the d2 command to SVG, PNG, PDF or PPTX. Lets agents produce diagrams you can version-control.

Official plugin for Pascal, an open-source 3D architecture editor: lets agents create, edit and validate 3D models of rooms and floors over MCP and check furniture placement for collisions or blocked doors. Local use needs the Pascal CLI (Node.js 22.13+); hosted projects need an API key.

Removes image backgrounds with one command: single images, whole folders or watched directories, mask-only output and switchable models like U2Net and SAM. Can also run as an HTTP server or process video frames with FFmpeg. Default models run locally.

Open-source reverse engineering framework and CLI: disassemble, debug, emulate and patch binaries across many architectures and file formats, scriptable through r2pipe or built-in JavaScript.

Fast speech transcription built on faster-whisper, with word-level timestamps and speaker diarization, suited to meeting notes and subtitles. Diarization needs a Hugging Face token; GPU acceleration needs CUDA.

Google's official GKE basics skill: creating clusters, choosing Autopilot or Standard, getting kubectl credentials, configuring Workload Identity and deploying workloads, plus a list of common gotchas. Needs gcloud and a GCP project.

Google's official skill library and plugin marketplace: nearly 150 skills focused on Google Cloud (GKE, BigQuery, Cloud Run, IAM and more), plus 17 product plugins pairing skills with MCP for Cloud SQL, Spanner, AlloyDB, BigQuery, GCS and others.

Google's official skill library, focused on Google Cloud: 100+ skills for gcloud, Cloud Run, GKE, BigQuery, IAM, monitoring and logging, and the Well-Architected Framework, plus Ads and Analytics.

Community-maintained modern replacement for ls (successor to exa) with colored output, tree view, Git status and file icons, plus .gitignore filtering for quickly scanning directory structures.

Encrypts secret values in YAML, JSON, ENV and INI config files using AWS, GCP or Azure KMS, age or PGP, so secrets can be safely committed to Git alongside code. A CNCF sandbox project.

From Firecrawl: converts Word, PowerPoint, Excel, PDF, EPUB, RTF and more into clean Markdown locally in milliseconds, keeping headings, tables, footnotes and formulas so agents can read attachments. Needs Node.js; optional Firecrawl cloud OCR for scans uploads the whole file.

SVG optimizer CLI and Node.js library: shrinks SVGs by removing editor metadata, comments, hidden elements and redundant attributes, processes whole directories recursively, and gives fine control through plugin config.

Offline speech transcription and translation based on Whisper; audio never leaves your machine. buzz add exports lectures, interviews and meeting recordings to TXT, SRT or VTT. pip install needs Python 3.12 and FFmpeg; a desktop app is also available. Check transcripts manually.

ML-based video upscaling and frame interpolation using Real-ESRGAN, Real-CUGAN, RIFE and other models to upscale old low-res video or raise frame rates; video2x handles one video per run and is scriptable. Needs a Vulkan GPU; Windows, Linux and Docker builds, no native macOS.

Industrial-grade open-source speech recognition toolkit from Alibaba's ModelScope, with an agent-friendly funasr command that turns audio into text, JSON or SRT subtitles in one step, with speaker diarization and timestamps. Strong on Chinese. Requires PyTorch.

Command-line tool for bulk-downloading galleries and posts from many image hosts and social platforms, with flexible file naming and config, and yt-dlp integration for video. Main development has moved to Codeberg; the GitHub repo stays in sync.

Unofficial Python library and CLI for driving Google NotebookLM (now Gemini Notebook): bulk-import sources, ask cited questions, and generate and download podcasts, videos, slides, quizzes and flashcards. Ships an agent skill. Relies on undocumented APIs and needs a Google sign-in.

AI2's tool for converting PDFs and scans to Markdown with a vision LLM, handling equations, tables, handwriting and multi-column layouts, suited to bulk digitizing papers and archives. Local runs need an NVIDIA GPU with 12GB+ VRAM; otherwise use a paid OpenAI-compatible remote endpoint.

Lets Claude Code push ML research forward unattended: literature review, topic selection, experiment deployment, cross-model review loops and paper writing through rebuttal, in 80+ skills. Codex acts as the independent reviewer by default; other model pairings work too.

Browser control from the browser-use team: an editable CDP connection lets agents drive the Chrome you are already using, writing missing helper functions as they go and keeping them for reuse. Also offers an MCP server. Allow remote debugging in Chrome on first use.
