Command-line framework for warehouse modeling and ELT transformations: write models in SQL and let dbt handle dependencies, data tests and documentation. v2 is rewritten in Rust as a single binary. Maintained by dbt Labs; needs a data warehouse connection.

Classic network discovery and security auditing tool: host discovery, port scanning, service version and OS detection, plus vulnerability checks with NSE scripts. Only scan networks you are authorized to test.

Nearly 100 skills spanning the AI research workflow: ideation and literature review, fine-tuning and post-training, distributed training, inference serving, evaluation, interpretability and paper writing, tied together by an autoresearch orchestration skill.

Plugin marketplace for AI research with nearly 100 skills in 23 categories, from ideation, fine-tuning and post-training to distributed training, inference serving, evaluation and paper writing, coordinated end to end by the autoresearch skill.

MiniMax's official Excel skill: read, analyze, create, edit and validate xlsx files and fix broken formulas. Edits existing files at the XML level to keep formatting, formulas and pivot tables; writes results as formulas with finance-style color coding. Needs Python (pandas); LibreOffice optional.

PostgreSQL command-line client with smart autocompletion and syntax highlighting. Compatible with psql environment variables, and -c runs a statement and exits, so agents can query databases non-interactively.

Scans container images, filesystem directories and SBOMs for known vulnerabilities across major Linux distro packages and many language ecosystems, ranks risk by EPSS and KEV, and filters results with OpenVEX. Good for vulnerability gates in CI. Maintained by Anchore.

ConardLi's skill collection: turn articles or scripts into web presentations you can screen-record as videos (23 themes, optional voiceover), lay out material as shareable long-form web pages, search local knowledge base folders, web design, and GPT-Image-2 image generation with 79 templates.

curl for gRPC: call any gRPC method with JSON, including bidirectional streaming, browse service definitions via server reflection, proto source files or protosets, with TLS and mutual TLS support.

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.

Estimates cloud costs of Terraform, Terragrunt, CloudFormation and AWS CDK changes before deployment and checks them against FinOps policies, in the terminal, editor, AI agents or CI. Requires an Infracost account; a free tier is available.

A du replacement written in Rust that shows disk usage as a directory tree with proportion bars, making large files and folders easy to spot. Filter by depth, count or regex, and output JSON with -j for agents to parse.

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.

Document layout skill by tw93 with eight templates (resume, one-pager, long doc, formal letter, portfolio, slides, research report and more) that render polished PDF, PNG or editable PPT and check layout and content gaps. Supports English, Chinese, Japanese and Korean. Needs Python (WeasyPrint).

Bundles 60+ full-stack specialist skills into one plugin: experts for 12 languages including Python, TypeScript, Go, Rust and Java, and frameworks like React, Django and Spring Boot, activated automatically by request. Also includes Jira and Confluence workflow commands (needs Atlassian MCP).

MySQL terminal client with smart autocompletion and syntax highlighting, also compatible with MariaDB and TiDB. Supports --execute and batch mode with CSV or table output, so agents can run SQL directly.

Connects to the Arize Phoenix observability platform so agents can query LLM traces and sessions, manage prompts, browse datasets and read experiment evaluation results. Maintained by Arize; needs a self-hosted or cloud Phoenix instance.

Fast, memory-efficient image processing library with a vips CLI for batch resizing, cropping, rotating, format conversion (WebP, AVIF, HEIC, TIFF and more) and thumbnails, handling very large images smoothly. Good for design and media teams processing assets in bulk. Install with Homebrew on macOS.

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+.

GitHub's official terminal coding agent, sharing its harness with the Copilot coding agent and shipping with the GitHub MCP built in. Work with repos, issues and PRs in natural language, approving each action before it runs. Requires a Copilot subscription.

Google's official dependency vulnerability scanner: parses project lockfiles and container images, checks them against the OSV.dev database to find affected dependencies, and can suggest upgrade fixes (experimental).

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.

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.
