Tools

Community-maintained simplified command help with example-first pages for common CLI tools, easier to read than man. Install an official client (Python, Rust or Node.js), then run tldr followed by a command name.

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.

A cat replacement with syntax highlighting, line numbers and Git change markers, plus --line-range to print specific lines. Falls back to plain text in pipes and other non-interactive use, and pairs with git diff or tail -f for code and logs.

'rsync for cloud storage': sync and copy files across dozens of providers such as S3, Google Drive, OneDrive and Alibaba Cloud OSS, with encryption and mounting. Set up remotes with rclone config before use.

Creates a local CA with one command and issues development HTTPS certificates trusted by your system and browsers, for localhost, IPs and wildcard domains, with no extra configuration. Run mkcert -install once first to add the root certificate to the trust store.

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.

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.

Guides agents to the right statistical method for research data: t-tests, ANOVA, chi-square, regression and Bayesian analysis, checking assumptions, computing effect sizes and power, and reporting results in APA format. Python-based (pingouin, statsmodels); by K-Dense.

Unified database lookup skill from K-Dense's scientific collection: reproducibly queries about 80 public database APIs such as PubChem, UniProt, ChEMBL, ClinicalTrials.gov and FRED, returning traceable results with endpoints, parameters and count checks. Some need API keys.

Teaches agents standard single-cell RNA-seq analysis with Scanpy: QC, normalization, PCA/UMAP, clustering, differential expression and plots, with ready-to-run pipeline scripts and guidance on converting Seurat and other R objects to h5ad. Needs Python 3.12+; by K-Dense.

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

Package manager for macOS and Linux: agents can brew install CLI tools and desktop apps (casks), or use brew bundle to restore a dev environment from a Brewfile.

HashiCorp's infrastructure-as-code tool: manage multi-cloud and SaaS resources with declarative config, previewing changes with plan before running apply. Providers cover all major clouds. Licensed under BSL 1.1.

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.

Collection of 2,400+ installable SKILL.md skills across development, security, cloud and ops, AI, marketing and more, with the AAS Core local MCP and an installer that help agents search, pick skills and preview install plans. Formerly antigravity-awesome-skills.

Design engineering skills by Emil Kowalski, author of Sonner and Vaul: choose animation easing and durations, review and improve motion, apply Apple design principles, make web apps feel native on phones, and help pick UI libraries and prototype multiple versions.

Terminal multiplexer built for coding agents: run Claude Code, Codex and others in split panes, each marked working, blocked or idle, with sessions surviving disconnects. Agents can also create panes and message each other through the CLI.

Simple, fast alternative to find with intuitive syntax and regex and glob matching, skipping hidden and .gitignored paths by default. Can run commands on results in parallel; handy for agents locating files quickly.

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.
