Tools

Command-line audio and video downloader supporting thousands of sites: pick formats and quality, grab subtitles and metadata, and merge or transcode with FFmpeg. The actively maintained fork of youtube-dl.

Lets agents model, lay out scenes, tweak materials and run Python in Blender, and import Poly Haven, Sketchfab and AI-generated 3D assets. Requires uv and the companion Blender add-on.

OCRs photos of visa documents such as bank, employment or income certificates, translates them into English and builds a side-by-side bilingual PDF. Needs Python (pillow, reportlab) and an OCR engine. Not an official certified translation: verify names, amounts and dates.

Makes GIFs that follow Slack's recommended size, frame rate, color and length for emoji (128x128) and message GIFs (480x480), with animation tips and tools to assemble and validate them. Built on Python and Pillow. Official Anthropic skill.

Creates generative art such as flow fields and particle systems with p5.js and seeded randomness: first writes an algorithmic design philosophy, then outputs an interactive HTML viewer with tunable parameters. Official Anthropic skill.

Official MoneyPrinterTurbo skill: give it a topic or script and the agent installs, configures and produces a short video with voiceover, stock footage, subtitles and music; defaults to Chinese vertical MP4. Needs an LLM API key and a free Pexels key; macOS and Windows.

Generates or edits images: photos, illustrations, textures, game sprites, product mockups and transparent assets. A built-in Codex system skill using the image_gen tool, no install needed; with approval it can use a bundled CLI script that needs OPENAI_API_KEY. By OpenAI.

OpenAI's open-source general-purpose speech recognition model. The whisper command transcribes many languages, translates foreign speech into English and writes subtitle files. Needs FFmpeg; faster with a GPU.

Open-source agentic video production: open Claude Code or Codex in the cloned repo, describe the video, and the agent handles research, script, voiceover, footage, subtitles and editing, confirming storyboard and cost first. Needs Python, Node.js and FFmpeg; free assets work without API keys.

Command-line toolkit for transcoding, cutting, joining, frame extraction and streaming of audio and video, including ffmpeg, ffprobe and ffplay. A core dependency for agents handling media. The GitHub repo is the official mirror.

HeyGen's official HyperFrames skill set: lets agents write deterministic MP4 videos in HTML, CSS and animation, with workflows for promo videos, explainers, captions and beat-synced music. Needs Node.js 22+ and FFmpeg.

Write videos in HTML, CSS and frame-seekable animations, preview them from the CLI and render deterministic MP4s. Comes with agent skills for product launch videos, captions and talking-head re-edits. Maintained by HeyGen; needs Node.js 22+ and FFmpeg.

HeyGen's official video plugin: compose scenes with HTML, CSS and animation and render deterministic MP4s, with skills for promo videos, captions, voiceover and music, and PR walkthrough videos. Needs Node.js 22+ and FFmpeg.

Write videos in React and render them from the command line with npx remotion render, letting agents batch-produce data-driven videos. Free for individuals, nonprofits and companies of up to 3 people; larger for-profit companies need a license.

C/C++ port of OpenAI's Whisper speech recognition model that transcribes audio offline and outputs subtitles. Runs on CPU, with Apple Silicon and various GPU acceleration. Download a ggml-format model first.

QGIS command-line wrapper from HKU's CLI-Anything project: create and edit .qgz projects, add GeoPackage layers and features, build print layouts and export PDF or images, and call QGIS processing algorithms, with JSON results. Needs QGIS desktop and a Python that can import PyQGIS.

From HKU's Data Intelligence Lab: plugins or skills for Claude Code, Codex and other agents generate agent-callable CLIs for apps like GIMP, Blender and LibreOffice, and the cli-hub package manager finds and installs ready-made community CLIs. Needs Python 3.10+.

MuseScore 4 command-line wrapper from CLI-Anything: lets agents transpose scores, extract parts, add or remove instruments, inspect score info and export PDF, MIDI, MusicXML, MP3 or braille. Handy for music teachers preparing scores in bulk. Needs MuseScore 4 and Python 3.10+.

Lightweight multi-protocol command-line downloader that fetches in parallel segments from multiple sources over HTTP(S), FTP, SFTP, BitTorrent and Metalink. Resumes downloads, reads URLs in bulk from text files and offers a JSON-RPC interface for scripts or agents.

Engine for math and explainer animations in Python (Community Edition, ManimCE): write scenes and render them to video with the manim command, letting agents create teaching and science animations. On macOS install cairo and pkg-config first; formulas need LaTeX.

Official skill for OpenMAIC, Tsinghua THU-MAIC's open-source multi-agent classroom: from a topic or PDF it generates a full lesson with slides, quizzes, interactive simulations, project-based learning and AI teacher narration. Use a hosted access code, or self-host with an LLM API key.

Translates full PDF papers while preserving formulas, charts and layout (command pdf2zh), outputting monolingual and side-by-side bilingual PDFs. Uses Google Translate by default and can switch to DeepL, OpenAI and others; also runs as an MCP server.

MCP built into the open-source social media scheduler Postiz: agents draft, schedule and publish posts and view analytics across 30+ platforms including X, LinkedIn, Instagram and YouTube. The cloud version uses browser OAuth, no API key (paid after a 7-day trial); self-hosting is free.

Browser Use's video editing skill: put raw footage in a folder and chat with Claude Code or Codex to get a finished cut, with filler words and pauses removed, color grading, burned-in subtitles, animations and per-cut self-checks. Needs ffmpeg, Python (uv) and an ElevenLabs API key.
