Tools

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+.

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.

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.

Teaches agents to use the Chrome DevTools MCP efficiently: snapshot first to get element uids, screenshot only when needed, paginate and filter large output, inspect CSS and test browser extensions. Needs chrome-devtools-mcp configured; maintained by the Chrome DevTools team.

Official Chrome plugin bundling the Chrome DevTools MCP with debugging skills for accessibility, LCP and memory leaks: lets agents drive and inspect a real Chrome and analyze network requests, console logs and performance traces. Collects usage stats by default; can be disabled.

Lets agents control and inspect a real Chrome: read the console and network requests, take screenshots, and record performance traces with optimization suggestions. Maintained by the Chrome DevTools team.

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.

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.

Drives Alibaba's open-source ocr CLI to review Git changes (working tree, a commit or a branch diff), grouping line-level comments by severity and fixing them on request. Needs an LLM endpoint (Anthropic, OpenAI and other protocols); installs the CLI if missing. By Alibaba.

Official CLI (bru) for the open-source API client Bruno: runs collections stored as plain text in your repo, switches environments, outputs JSON results and imports collections from OpenAPI, making API tests easy to run in CI.

Companion skill for the agent-browser CLI: has the agent load usage matching the installed version to navigate, fill forms, take screenshots and run exploratory tests, and can also drive Electron desktop apps. Install the agent-browser CLI first; from Vercel Labs.

Browser automation plugin from Vercel Labs: agents drive Chrome through accessibility tree snapshots and element refs to navigate, click, fill forms and take screenshots, for web testing and exploratory QA. Install the agent-browser CLI first (npm, Homebrew or Cargo).

Browser automation CLI built for AI agents in native Rust: open pages, click and fill forms by refs from accessibility tree snapshots, read text and take screenshots, with compact snapshots and output limits to save context. From Vercel Labs; reuses local Chrome or installs one.

Official Anthropic plugin that reads local session logs in ~/.claude/projects and generates an interactive HTML usage report covering tokens, cache hit rate, subagents, skills and the most expensive prompts, with optimization tips. Needs Node.js.

Connects Claude Code to the Pyright language server for static type checking and code intelligence in Python. Install pyright first with npm, pip or pipx. Official Anthropic plugin.

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.

Wraps Microsoft's Playwright MCP so agents can drive a real browser to navigate, click, fill forms and take screenshots for end-to-end tests and page checks. In Anthropic's official marketplace; needs Node.js.

Lightweight multi-protocol command-line downloader that fetches in parallel segments from multiple sources over HTTP(S), FTP, SFTP, BitTorrent and Metalink. Resumes downloads, reads URLs in bulk from text files and offers a JSON-RPC interface for scripts or agents.

Command-line tool for transferring data by URL over 20+ protocols including HTTP(S), FTP, SFTP, WebSocket and MQTT; a staple for agents calling APIs and downloading files. Preinstalled on macOS and most Linux distributions.

Orchestrates multi-agent teams using Claude Code's experimental Agent Teams feature: parallel multi-angle code review, competing-hypothesis debugging and feature work split by file ownership. Enable CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS first.

Quant trading plugin from the wshobson/agents marketplace: quant analyst and risk manager subagents plus backtesting and risk metrics skills for strategy backtests, portfolio optimization and risk measures like VaR, Sharpe ratio and max drawdown. Needs local Python; not investment advice.
