Tools

All-in-one LLM fine-tuning framework: llamafactory-cli handles pretraining, SFT, PPO/DPO alignment and LoRA/QLoRA training, plus chat inference, weight merging and export, and OpenAI-style API serving for 100+ open models. Has a Web UI; training usually needs a GPU.

Lightweight spec-driven development CLI: after initializing a project, commands such as /opsx:propose let humans and agents agree on change proposals and specs before coding. Supports Claude Code, Codex and 30+ other tools. Needs Node.js 20.19+.

Parses PDF, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, HTML, images and audio, recovering layout, reading order, tables and formulas, and exports Markdown, HTML or lossless JSON. Started by IBM Research, now hosted by the LF AI & Data Foundation; runs fully locally.

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.

Generates natively editable PPTX from PDFs, Word files, web pages and other sources, with native shapes, data charts and master layouts. Can also fill your own template and add animations and narration to finished decks. Needs Python 3.10+ and its dependencies.

Searches Reddit, X, YouTube, Hacker News, Polymarket and more in parallel for the past 30 days of discussion on a topic, scores it by engagement and summarizes it into a brief. Good for market research and meeting prep. Needs Python 3.12+; some sources need API keys.

Official MCP for the open-source design tool Penpot: through the Penpot plugin API, agents can query, modify and generate designs, supporting design-to-code and code-to-design. Run npx -y @penpot/mcp@latest first and load the MCP plugin in Penpot to connect.

Generates self-contained HTML+SVG diagrams in an editorial style: architecture, flowcharts, sequence, swimlane, Gantt and dozens more types. Can match brand colors from a website and redraw imported Mermaid, draw.io and Excalidraw sources.

Runs and analyzes customer research: pulls pain points, buying motives and verbatim quotes from interviews, surveys, support tickets, review sites and community posts, builds personas and JTBD, and designs interview guides and PMF surveys. From the marketingskills collection.

Give it competitor URLs and it scrapes homepages, pricing, feature pages and third-party reviews, adds SEO and traffic data, and writes standardized profiles of positioning, features, pricing, customers and differentiators. Needs Firecrawl and DataForSEO MCPs with API keys.

Open-source crypto trading framework: download market data, backtest and optimize strategies, and paper trade from the CLI while agents iterate on strategies. Docker recommended; strategies need Python and live trading needs exchange API keys. Backtests don't guarantee returns.

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+.

Conversion rate optimization skill from the marketingskills collection: give it a homepage, landing page, pricing page or form and it diagnoses value proposition, headlines, CTAs, trust signals and friction, returning quick wins, high-impact changes, A/B test ideas and alternative copy.

General-purpose AI agent that runs on your machine, with a desktop app, CLI and API. Written in Rust, works with 15+ model providers and connects to 70+ extensions via MCP. Originally from Block, now part of the Linux Foundation's AAIF.

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.

Agile AI-driven development method: analyst, product manager, UX designer and other role skills turn ideas into product briefs, PRDs and PRFAQs, then split them into tasks for agents. Needs a skills-capable agent such as Claude Code, plus Node.js, Git and uv; then run bmad setup.

Astral's extremely fast Python linter and formatter written in Rust, replacing Flake8, isort and Black, with 900+ built-in rules and auto-fix.

Terminal multiplexer: run multiple sessions and panes in one terminal, with processes surviving disconnects. Agents use it to host long-running tasks and drive interactive programs, and many parallel multi-agent session tools build on it.

Teaches agents to read and write Obsidian vaults: Obsidian-flavored Markdown, Bases data views, JSON Canvas and the Obsidian CLI, plus Defuddle web content extraction and Knap template rendering. Maintained by Obsidian CEO kepano.

Microsoft's open-source AI quant investment research platform: the qrun command runs dataset building, model training, backtesting and evaluation from a YAML config, with many benchmark models. The official dataset is paused, so prepare market data per the README first.

Creates or improves Agent Skills from scratch: writes eval cases to test them, runs benchmarks with variance analysis, and tunes descriptions for more accurate triggering. Maintained by Anthropic.

Designs and builds MCP servers: first picks a deployment model among remote HTTP, MCPB bundles and local stdio, then guides tool design, auth and in-chat interactive components. Maintained by Anthropic.

Official Linear plugin in Anthropic's marketplace: connects the hosted Linear MCP to create and update issues, manage projects and states, and search across workspaces from chat. Needs a Linear account and OAuth authorization.

Official Asana plugin in Claude's plugin marketplace: connects Claude Code to the Asana V2 MCP server to create and manage tasks, search projects, change assignees and track progress. Create your own Asana OAuth app first, then run /asana-setup after installing.
