Tools

ByteDance's open-source, general software engineering agent: trae-cli edits files and runs commands from natural language, supports multiple model providers and MCP, and records full execution trajectories. Transparent design suits agent research and customization. Needs your own model API key.

Open-source AI presentation generator that builds slides from a topic or uploaded documents and exports PPTX or PDF, with a built-in MCP endpoint for agents. Good for lesson decks and reports. Self-host with Docker and configure an LLM API key, then have an admin create an MCP key.

Lets agents operate the Windows desktop directly: launch apps, switch windows, simulate keyboard and mouse, read UI elements and run PowerShell, without needing a vision model. Windows only.

Publishes SQLite databases as browsable, queryable web pages and JSON APIs, with SQL queries, metadata and plugins, and deploys to Cloud Run and other platforms with datasette publish. Great for data exploration and data journalism. Needs Python 3.10+.

Teaches agents the Hugging Face Hub CLI hf: search and download models, manage datasets, Spaces, Buckets and repos, and run Jobs and inference endpoints. The skill content is generated from your local CLI, so install hf first. Maintained by Hugging Face.

Lets agents fine-tune language and vision models with TRL or Unsloth on Hugging Face Jobs cloud GPUs, supporting SFT, DPO, GRPO and reward models, and convert results to GGUF for local use. Requires an HF Pro or higher paid plan. Maintained by Hugging Face.

Hugging Face's official skills: manage Hub models and datasets with the hf CLI, fine-tune language and vision models, run model evaluations, and build Gradio apps deployed to Spaces. Needs an HF account; cloud training on HF Jobs requires a paid plan.

Lets agents work with the Hugging Face Hub through the hf CLI: search and download models and datasets, manage repos and Spaces, and run training and evaluation jobs on cloud GPUs, with more workflow skills installable as needed. Maintained by Hugging Face.

The official MCP debugging tool: connect to any MCP server through a web UI, CLI or terminal UI to list and call its tools, resources and prompts. CLI mode outputs JSON, suited to scripts and CI smoke tests.

Publication-quality matplotlib plotting skill from a Yale PhD student: bar charts, trends, heatmaps and multi-panel figures with consistent fonts, colors and export settings, plus real plotting scripts from papers published in venues like Nature Machine Intelligence. Needs Python.

Reads the exact position of every character, line and table cell in digital PDFs: the CLI exports layout-preserving text or CSV/JSON details, and the Python API extracts tables and form fields, ideal for invoices, statements and reports. Runs locally with Python; scans need OCR first.

Open-source research agent: one command runs literature reviews, deep research, paper reviews, paper-code consistency checks and replication plans, searching arXiv, PubMed and more with sources recorded. Good for grad students writing reviews. Run feynman setup to sign in to a model provider.

Extracts the main content of a web page, stripping comments, sidebars, headers and footers, and outputs clean HTML or Markdown with metadata like title, author and publish date, saving tokens when agents read the web. Built for Obsidian Web Clipper by kepano; still in development.

NVIDIA's open-source LLM vulnerability scanner that probes for prompt injection, jailbreaks, data leakage, hallucination and harmful content, supporting OpenAI, Hugging Face, Bedrock and most REST-accessible models. Scanning cloud models needs their API keys.

Official skill for Anarlog (formerly Hyprnote), an open-source, local-first meeting notes app: lets agents query notes, summaries, transcripts, attendees and action items from local data, with no meeting bot needed. Requires the Anarlog desktop app and CLI; remote cloud access needs Pro.

PDF translation CLI for research papers that preserves formulas and layout as much as possible, producing bilingual side-by-side or translation-only PDFs. Needs an OpenAI-compatible API (local Ollama works too); currently focused on English to Chinese.

Rendering engine that lays out HTML and CSS and exports PDF, supporting paged media and other print style standards, ideal for generating reports, invoices and receipts in bulk. Written in Python; depends on the system Pango library.

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.

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.

Turns outlines or scripts into web slides that present in the browser (not .pptx files), with 36 themes and 15 full deck templates; press S for presenter mode with script and timer. Good for lessons, training and reports. Plain local files; no account or API key needed.

PDF command line written in pure Go with almost no external dependencies: dozens of subcommands to merge, split, crop, rotate, watermark, encrypt and decrypt, extract images and fonts, and work with forms.

Google Workspace CLI for scripts and agents covering Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Contacts and Tasks, with JSON output, read-only mode and command allowlists; can also run as a read-only-by-default MCP server. Bring your own Google OAuth client.
