Tools

Open-source visual traceroute that shows IP geolocation, AS number and carrier for every hop, with continuous MTR probing and JSON output; the full edition can also be deployed as an MCP server.

HTTP client CLI that reimplements HTTPie's syntax in Rust with a focus on performance; key-value pairs on the command line are sent as JSON by default, making it quick to debug REST APIs.

Offline speech toolkit for Apple Silicon Macs: CLI text-to-speech (including Chinese and voice cloning) and speech-to-text, for voicing lessons and explainer videos or transcribing lectures and interviews, with data staying local. Needs an M-series Mac and Python 3.10+; MP3 export needs ffmpeg.

Query, modify and convert JSON, YAML, TOML, XML, CSV, HCL, INI and more with one selector syntax, editing config files in place or converting between formats, handy for agents handling structured data in scripts. A single dependency-free binary that works much like jq or yq.

asc CLI for scripting the App Store Connect API: manage builds, TestFlight, metadata, signing and review submissions to automate iOS and macOS releases from the terminal or CI. Ships with a companion agent skill pack. Needs an App Store Connect API key.

Query cloud resources and SaaS APIs live with SQL: plugins map AWS, Azure, GCP, GitHub, Kubernetes and other services to tables you can select from directly, no ETL needed. A single binary with Postgres built in.

Moonshot AI's official terminal coding agent: reads and edits code, runs commands, searches files and fetches web pages, with video input, MCP, plugins, subagents and hooks, plus Zed and JetBrains integration via ACP. Needs a Kimi sign-in or Moonshot API key. Replaces the archived Kimi CLI.

Diffusion model inference in pure C/C++: one sd-cli command runs SD, FLUX, Qwen Image, Wan and more locally to create or edit images and short videos, with Metal acceleration on Mac. No cloud needed; bring your own model weights and use a release binary or build from source.

Trail of Bits skill that audits npm, PyPI and Go supply-chain risk: known advisories across direct deps and the whole lockfile tree, deprecated or archived upstreams, npm publisher concentration and install-time scripts. Needs uv; a logged-in gh is recommended.

Trail of Bits static analysis skills: CodeQL for interprocedural taint tracking and data-flow analysis, Semgrep for rule-based scanning, plus parsing and deduplicating SARIF results. Requires CodeQL or Semgrep installed locally.

From Trail of Bits: starts from one confirmed vulnerability, distills its root cause, then writes and progressively generalizes CodeQL/Semgrep queries to find similar variants across the codebase and report them by severity.

Turns Peng Sida's public research-writing notes into a skill: revises abstracts, introductions, methods and experiments of ML/CV/NLP papers from a reviewer's view, checks that each claim has experimental evidence, and runs a pre-submission self-check. Pure methodology, no API key.

Trail of Bits skill that audits GitHub Actions workflows wired to AI coding agents (Claude Code Action, Codex, Gemini CLI and others) for prompt injection, env-variable relays, dangerous sandbox settings, wildcard allowlists and other privilege risks.

From Trail of Bits: reviews PRs, commits or diffs from a security angle, tracing history with git blame, estimating blast radius by caller count and checking test coverage gaps, then writes a Markdown review report.

Scrapes web pages into Markdown or structured data, with full-site crawling, sitemaps, web search and interaction with dynamic pages. Maintained by Firecrawl; the cloud needs an API key (self-hosting is possible), and the keyless hosted endpoint only offers scrape, search and parse.

Plugin marketplace from security firm Trail of Bits with 40+ plugins for code auditing, CodeQL/Semgrep static analysis, variant analysis, supply-chain risk, smart contract security and reverse engineering. Codex can load it directly too.

Anthropic's reference implementation for finding and fixing vulnerabilities: Claude Code skills for threat modeling, static scanning, triage and patching, plus an autonomous recon-to-patch pipeline (C/C++ memory bugs by default; needs Docker and gVisor). No longer maintained.

Manage Kubernetes clusters in natural language: translates intent into kubectl operations and runs them, and can serve as an MCP server for other agents. Uses Gemini by default (API key required) and also supports OpenAI and local models. Maintained by Google Cloud.

Tests and debugs a locally running frontend with Codex's Browser plugin or Playwright: checks blank pages, framework and console errors, captures screenshots, re-verifies after fixes and writes a QA report. Maintained by OpenAI; formerly playwright-interactive in openai/skills.

OpenAI's official data analytics skills: data quality assessment, KPI design, metric anomaly diagnosis, dashboards and analysis reports, market sizing and notebooks. Ships with a Codex plugin; some skills depend on its runtime.

OpenAI's official Codex plugin that guides sequencing analysis from BCL/FASTQ: QC, RNA-seq differential expression, single-cell, variant calling and metagenomics, favoring nf-core and other public pipelines with reproducible run logs. Checks for local tools first. Research use only.

Creates, edits and validates reproducible Python and SQL Jupyter notebooks: organizes cells as reports or tutorials, checks conclusions against actual output and reruns top to bottom before handoff. Maintained by OpenAI in the Data Analytics plugin of openai/plugins.

Turns a Notion PRD or feature spec into an implementation plan page and tasks, flagging open questions and linking spec, plan and tasks while tracking progress. From OpenAI's official plugin repo (developer: Notion); needs the Notion MCP connected.

OpenAI's official Codex plugin for building frontend apps and generating visual assets, testing and debugging in a browser, plus best-practice skills for React, shadcn/ui, Stripe payments and Supabase databases. Codex only.
