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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

From Obsidian CEO Steph Ango (kepano): teaches agents to write Obsidian-flavored Markdown, Bases and Canvas files and work with vaults through the Obsidian CLI, plus skills like web page content extraction. Also installable into Codex and other agents via npx skills.

AI pair programming in your terminal: builds a repo map of the whole codebase, auto-commits changes to git, works with Claude, DeepSeek, OpenAI and almost any other model including local ones, and can run lint and tests after edits.

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.

Write slides in Markdown with built-in code highlighting, LaTeX math and Mermaid diagrams; slidev export outputs PDF, PPTX or PNG. Install playwright-chromium in the project before exporting.

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.

Free, open-source offline OCR desktop app for screenshots, batch images, scanned PDFs and QR codes, callable via the umi-ocr CLI or an HTTP API (the CLI relies on the app's local HTTP service, on by default). Windows and Linux only.

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.

Alibaba's open-source AI code review CLI (ocr): a deterministic pass filters and groups files and matches rules, then an agent reads the context and writes line-level comments; ocr scan reviews a whole directory. Needs an LLM endpoint, or delegate mode to hand off to your coding agent.
