Scaffolds a Claude Agent SDK project in Python or TypeScript interactively with /new-sdk-app, then a verifier agent checks dependencies, config and code against official best practices. Maintained by Anthropic.

High-throughput LLM inference and serving engine: vllm serve starts an OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible server in one command. Supports 200+ model architectures from Hugging Face, quantization and distributed inference. Aimed mainly at NVIDIA, AMD and other GPUs.

AI pair programming in your terminal: builds a repo map of the whole codebase, auto-commits changes to git, works with Claude, DeepSeek, OpenAI and almost any other model including local ones, and can run lint and tests after edits.

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.

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.

Open-source LLM evaluation platform: one opencompass command picks the model and datasets and runs the evaluation across hundreds of benchmarks. Works with local Hugging Face models and API models, with vLLM and LMDeploy for faster inference.

Mistral's official open-source terminal coding assistant: uses Mistral models to read and write code, run commands and search the codebase, with multiple agent profiles and subagents, plus Skills, MCP and a --prompt scripting mode. Needs a Mistral API key.

Hugging Face's official hf CLI: search, download and upload models and datasets, manage repos and storage buckets, and run jobs on Hugging Face's cloud. Output adapts automatically for agents, and hf skills add installs companion skills. Uploads and similar actions need a login.

LangChain's official skill collection: framework selection, quickstarts, middleware, persistence, human-in-the-loop approval, RAG and eval design across LangChain, LangGraph and Deep Agents, in Python and TypeScript. Also installable as a Claude Code plugin. Still in early development.
