Tools

Prebuilds a local knowledge graph of your codebase (symbols, call chains, dependencies) so coding agents get relevant source and change impact in one call, kept in sync as files change. Fully local, supports dozens of languages; run codegraph init in each project first.

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+.

Runs GitHub Actions workflows locally in Docker, so you can test .github/workflows changes without repeated commits and pushes, or use workflows as a local task runner. Needs Docker installed.

macOS cleanup and maintenance CLI (mo): clears caches and logs, fully uninstalls apps, analyzes disk usage, removes project build artifacts and shows system status. Preview deletions with --dry-run; disk analysis and status support JSON output. Needs macOS 12+.

Agentless IT automation: uses SSH and playbooks for configuration management, app deployment, cloud orchestration and ad hoc commands at scale, with nothing to install on target machines. Maintained primarily by Red Hat.

Official Cline CLI sharing its agent core with the VS Code extension: plan/act modes, MCP, checkpoints and subagents; --yolo and --json run it unattended in CI and scripts. Sign in with Cline or a ChatGPT subscription, or bring your own API key.

Open-source agentic video production: open Claude Code or Codex in the cloned repo, describe the video, and the agent handles research, script, voiceover, footage, subtitles and editing, confirming storyboard and cost first. Needs Python, Node.js and FFmpeg; free assets work without API keys.

Fast regex search across directories (command rg) that respects .gitignore, skips hidden and binary files by default and filters by file type. A go-to command for coding agents searching a codebase.

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.

HeyGen's official HyperFrames skill set: lets agents write deterministic MP4 videos in HTML, CSS and animation, with workflows for promo videos, explainers, captions and beat-synced music. Needs Node.js 22+ and FFmpeg.

Write videos in HTML, CSS and frame-seekable animations, preview them from the CLI and render deterministic MP4s. Comes with agent skills for product launch videos, captions and talking-head re-edits. Maintained by HeyGen; needs Node.js 22+ and FFmpeg.

HeyGen's official video plugin: compose scenes with HTML, CSS and animation and render deterministic MP4s, with skills for promo videos, captions, voiceover and music, and PR walkthrough videos. Needs Node.js 22+ and FFmpeg.

Write videos in React and render them from the command line with npx remotion render, letting agents batch-produce data-driven videos. Free for individuals, nonprofits and companies of up to 3 people; larger for-profit companies need a license.

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.

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.

Upstash's official Context7 CLI (ctx7): search libraries and pull up-to-date docs from the terminal, or set up the Context7 MCP and rules for Claude Code, Cursor and other agents in one step. Docs lookup needs no login; signing in raises rate limits.

Packs a web page, local HTML or dist folder into a lightweight desktop app with one command (built on Rust Tauri; macOS, Windows, Linux), with --json output and llms.txt for agents. Needs Node.js; installs Rust automatically if missing.

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.

Shapes the agent's replies for a reader with ADHD: lead with the next action, number multi-step work, restate progress every turn, hold back tangents, give concrete time estimates and make finished work visible. Turn it on with /i-have-adhd; it lasts until you say stop adhd mode.

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+.

MuseScore 4 command-line wrapper from CLI-Anything: lets agents transpose scores, extract parts, add or remove instruments, inspect score info and export PDF, MIDI, MusicXML, MP3 or braille. Handy for music teachers preparing scores in bulk. Needs MuseScore 4 and Python 3.10+.
