Tools

Simon Willison's LLM CLI and Python library: call OpenAI, Claude, Gemini and local models from the terminal, with conversations logged to SQLite automatically, plus embeddings, structured extraction, tool calling and a plugin system.

A Chrome extension that hands the browser you use every day to your agent, keeping your logins and settings, with screenshots, network monitoring, bookmarks and history, and semantic search over tab content. Install the extension and mcp-chrome-bridge first.

Lets agents call thousands of ready-made scrapers and automation Actors from Apify Store to pull data from social media, search engines, maps, e-commerce sites and more. Maintained by Apify; needs an Apify account (OAuth) or API token.

ByteDance's open-source, general software engineering agent: trae-cli edits files and runs commands from natural language, supports multiple model providers and MCP, and records full execution trajectories. Transparent design suits agent research and customization. Needs your own model API key.

Connects to the Arize Phoenix observability platform so agents can query LLM traces and sessions, manage prompts, browse datasets and read experiment evaluation results. Maintained by Arize; needs a self-hosted or cloud Phoenix instance.

Pipes live streams from Twitch, YouTube and many other platforms to a local player, or saves them to video files with --output or --record, for keeping and re-editing replays of your own or partners' streams. Viewing needs a player like VLC. Only record content you have rights to.

Teaches agents the Hugging Face Hub CLI hf: search and download models, manage datasets, Spaces, Buckets and repos, and run Jobs and inference endpoints. The skill content is generated from your local CLI, so install hf first. Maintained by Hugging Face.

Lets agents fine-tune language and vision models with TRL or Unsloth on Hugging Face Jobs cloud GPUs, supporting SFT, DPO, GRPO and reward models, and convert results to GGUF for local use. Requires an HF Pro or higher paid plan. Maintained by Hugging Face.

Hugging Face's official skills: manage Hub models and datasets with the hf CLI, fine-tune language and vision models, run model evaluations, and build Gradio apps deployed to Spaces. Needs an HF account; cloud training on HF Jobs requires a paid plan.

Lets agents work with the Hugging Face Hub through the hf CLI: search and download models and datasets, manage repos and Spaces, and run training and evaluation jobs on cloud GPUs, with more workflow skills installable as needed. Maintained by Hugging Face.

Optimizes websites for AI search: checks whether ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews can cite your site, covering AI crawler access, llms.txt, structured data, E-E-A-T and technical SEO, and writes client reports. PDF reports and scoring need the README install script, Python 3.8+ and Git.

The official MCP debugging tool: connect to any MCP server through a web UI, CLI or terminal UI to list and call its tools, resources and prompts. CLI mode outputs JSON, suited to scripts and CI smoke tests.

Paid advertising skill pack covering 12 ad platforms including Google, Meta, TikTok, Amazon and LinkedIn, for account audits, campaign planning, creative, monitoring and reporting. Read-only by default; account changes need item-by-item approval. Full features need Python.

Open-source research agent: one command runs literature reviews, deep research, paper reviews, paper-code consistency checks and replication plans, searching arXiv, PubMed and more with sources recorded. Good for grad students writing reviews. Run feynman setup to sign in to a model provider.

NVIDIA's open-source LLM vulnerability scanner that probes for prompt injection, jailbreaks, data leakage, hallucination and harmful content, supporting OpenAI, Hugging Face, Bedrock and most REST-accessible models. Scanning cloud models needs their API keys.

High-accuracy retrieval-augmented Q&A over paper PDFs, text and Office documents, filling in citation metadata, checking retractions and attaching traceable sources to answers. Provides the pqa CLI and a Python library. Needs an LLM API key by default; local models can be configured.

Say build a harness for this project and it designs a domain-specific agent team, generating subagent definitions, companion skills and orchestration, validates them and keeps evolving them from feedback. Supports workflow orchestration, persistent agent teams and subagent delegation.

Google Workspace CLI for scripts and agents covering Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Contacts and Tasks, with JSON output, read-only mode and command allowlists; can also run as a read-only-by-default MCP server. Bring your own Google OAuth client.

Removes backgrounds from images and videos with one AI command: batch whole folders, use a portrait model, refine edges or swap in a solid color, and output transparent MOV or composite video onto a new background. Runs locally; install PyTorch and ffmpeg first. Models download on first run.

Offline speech toolkit for Apple Silicon Macs: CLI text-to-speech (including Chinese and voice cloning) and speech-to-text, for voicing lessons and explainer videos or transcribing lectures and interviews, with data staying local. Needs an M-series Mac and Python 3.10+; MP3 export needs ffmpeg.

Diffusion model inference in pure C/C++: one sd-cli command runs SD, FLUX, Qwen Image, Wan and more locally to create or edit images and short videos, with Metal acceleration on Mac. No cloud needed; bring your own model weights and use a release binary or build from source.

Turns Peng Sida's public research-writing notes into a skill: revises abstracts, introductions, methods and experiments of ML/CV/NLP papers from a reviewer's view, checks that each claim has experimental evidence, and runs a pre-submission self-check. Pure methodology, no API key.

Open-source LLM evaluation platform: one opencompass command picks the model and datasets and runs the evaluation across hundreds of benchmarks. Works with local Hugging Face models and API models, with vLLM and LMDeploy for faster inference.

ClickUp's official plugin in OpenAI's Codex marketplace: search your whole ClickUp workspace in natural language, find, create, update and manage tasks, and check whether a project or sprint is at risk of slipping. Codex only; needs a ClickUp account and authorization.
