Tools

Simon Willison's website screenshot CLI: batch screenshots from YAML, record demo videos, export PDF and HTML, run JavaScript in pages to extract data, and dump accessibility trees. Built on Playwright; install a browser on first use.

Perplexity's official MCP with four tools: web search, grounded Q&A, deep research and reasoning, available remotely or run locally. Requires a Perplexity API key.

Gives agents a live local Excalidraw canvas: add, edit and delete elements to draw architecture diagrams and flowcharts, take screenshots to check the result, convert Mermaid and export .excalidraw files. Runs locally with no API key; also ships a CLI and an agent skill.

Gives agents on-demand guidance for the modern web platform, covering View Transitions, container queries, Popover, INP optimization, accessibility and more, with browser compatibility data so they avoid outdated code. Maintained by the Google Chrome team; currently in preview.

Translates whole EPUB books, Word files, SRT subtitles and TXT with local Ollama or cloud LLMs (OpenAI, Gemini, DeepSeek), keeping layout and timings. Builds a glossary for consistent terms and can resume jobs. Mainly a desktop app; the CLI runs from source; cloud models need an API key.

Runs open image models like FLUX, Qwen Image and Z-Image locally on a Mac: text-to-image, reference-based edits, inpainting and upscaling, all on-device. Needs Apple Silicon and uv; the first run downloads models and is slow. Check each model's license before commercial use.

Blog writing and SEO skill suite: /blog commands for strategy, outlines, drafting, rewrites, quality audits, multilingual publishing and refreshing old posts; drafts scoring under 90/100 are reworked. Get the review subagents and scripts via the plugin or install script; needs Python 3.11+.

A research-writing plugin from K-Dense: searches the literature in real time before drafting, then produces papers, reviews, grant proposals, posters and slides with verifiable citations and figures. Literature search needs a Parallel API key; PDF output needs LaTeX.

Translates a finished blog post into one or more languages while keeping formatting, images and charts, localizes keywords, titles, meta descriptions, dates and currencies per market, and flags sentences that read like machine translation. No account needed; part of the claude-blog suite.

An end-to-end blogging plugin: topic research, outlines, drafting, rewrites, fact-checking, SEO and AI-citation optimization, plus multilingual publishing. Each post is scored on a 100-point rubric and reworked if under 90. Needs Python 3.11+; optional images and voiceover use a Gemini API key.

Apify's official skill collection: picks from 130+ curated Actors to scrape public data from social networks, maps, e-commerce sites and more, and can also build, package and deploy Actors. Needs an Apify account; a free tier is available.

Four tools for real-time web search, page content extraction, site mapping and full-site crawling, available as a remote server or run locally. Maintained by Tavily; needs an API key or OAuth sign-in, and a free account is available.

Supabase's official CLI: runs the full backend stack locally (Postgres, Auth, Storage, Edge Functions), manages database migrations, generates types and deploys functions. The local stack requires Docker.

Terraform and OpenTofu best practices from Anton Babenko: diagnoses the failure mode first, then guides testing, module structure, state management, CI/CD and security scanning. Works for AWS, Azure and GCP.

Two-stage deep research: drafts an editable outline for the topic, then parallel subagents search the web item by item and compile a Markdown report. Good for literature reviews, competitor research and due diligence. Install by copying files per the README, plus pip install pyyaml.

Uses hooks to enforce test-driven development in Claude Code: blocks implementation without a failing test, prevents code beyond what tests require, and can use lint results to push refactoring. Needs Node.js 22+. Still maintained, but the author suggests its successor Probity for new projects.

Lets Claude Code and other agents call Antigravity CLI or Gemini CLI, using Gemini's large context window to analyze big files and whole codebases; with Gemini CLI it can also test code in a sandbox. Install and sign in to the CLI first. Not an official Google project.

WordPress's official skill collection: block development, block themes, plugin architecture, REST API, Interactivity API, WP-CLI, performance profiling and Playground, so agents write code to modern WordPress standards and avoid common security pitfalls.

A Chinese-first editing skill that also works on English: strips boilerplate, padded lead-ins and stiff phrasing while keeping numbers, conditions, commitments and the author's voice. Can flag issues without rewriting. It doesn't detect AI text or promise to evade detectors.

Draws a code change or part of a codebase as an animated architecture or data-flow diagram. The agent writes a JSON graph, validates and renders it to SVG with the PR Lens CLI, then pushes it to a prlens.dev canvas or attaches it to a GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket pull request.

Explains a codebase, feature, command or pull request to someone new to it as a PR Lens canvas: one plain sentence first, then a walkthrough that grows the diagram from two boxes to the whole picture, delivered as a shareable link. Requires the PR Lens skill and its npx CLI.

Stripe's official CLI: forward and trigger webhook events locally, tail API request logs in real time, and create, read, update or delete Stripe objects to debug payment integrations. Needs a Stripe account; run stripe login first.

Exports Feishu/Lark docs, whole folders or wikis to Markdown with images, so agents can read, migrate or archive them. Requires creating a custom app on the Feishu/Lark Open Platform and configuring its App ID and App Secret.

MiniMax's official CLI, built for agents: chat with MiniMax models from the terminal and generate images, video and speech, plus speech transcription, image understanding and web search. Works with the international platform. Requires a MiniMax Token Plan subscription.
