Tools

For preclinical life sciences research: bundles MCP connectors for PubMed, bioRxiv, ChEMBL, Open Targets, ClinicalTrials and more, plus analysis skills for single-cell RNA QC, scvi-tools and nf-core pipelines. Official from Anthropic; some data sources need accounts.

Everyday software engineering plugin: standup summaries, code review, structured debugging, architecture decision records, incident response and pre-deploy checks. Official from Anthropic, built mainly for Cowork but also usable in Claude Code.

Data analysis plugin: writes queries in each SQL dialect, explores datasets, runs statistical tests, charts with Python and builds interactive HTML dashboards, then reviews methods and conclusions before sharing. Connects to Snowflake, BigQuery and other warehouses. Official from Anthropic.

Anthropic's official plugin that opens PDFs in a local interactive viewer where Claude proposes highlights, comments and approval stamps in batches, walks you through form filling, places signature images and exports an annotated copy. Needs Node.js 18+; signatures are not digital certificates.

Fast vulnerability scanner driven by YAML templates: uses a community template library to detect known vulnerabilities over HTTP, DNS, TCP, SSL and more, supports custom templates and plugs into CI/CD. Use only on targets you're authorized to test.

Writes conversations and business data into Graphiti's temporal knowledge graph so agents can retrieve long-term memory by entity, fact and time. Open source from Zep; start FalkorDB or Neo4j and the server with Docker first, and configure an LLM API key.

Processes large tool outputs in a sandbox and returns only the results to context; logs session events in SQLite with FTS5 so work continues after context compaction. Supports Claude Code, Codex and a dozen other clients. ELv2 licensed.

Grafana's load and performance testing tool: write test scripts in JavaScript covering HTTP, WebSocket, gRPC and browsers, set threshold assertions and run them in CI.

Open-source infrastructure-as-code tool and community fork of Terraform: describe cloud resources declaratively, run plan to generate an execution plan, then apply changes, creating resources in parallel by dependency graph. Community-governed, MPL-2.0.

Kubernetes package manager that packages, installs, upgrades and rolls back releases with Chart templates, including ready-made charts from Artifact Hub. A CNCF graduated project; needs a kubeconfig to reach your cluster.

Detects hardcoded passwords, API keys and tokens in Git repos, files and stdin, and can run as a pre-commit hook or GitHub Action to block leaks. Now feature-frozen with security fixes only, as the author has moved on to Betterleaks.

Finds leaked credentials in Git, GitHub, S3, filesystems and more, recognizing 800+ secret types and checking with each service whether a key is still live to cut false positives.

Financial research terminal agent, like Claude Code for finance: breaks company research questions into steps, pulls financial statements and market data, and self-checks before answering. Needs Bun, a model API key and a Financial Datasets API key; for learning and research only.

Translation skill by Baoyu with quick, normal and refined modes, custom glossaries, and target audience and style settings. Translates local files or URLs; suited to long-form Chinese-English translation and localization. Needs bun or npx.

CLI and library for evaluating and red-teaming LLM apps: compare prompts and model outputs in bulk, scan for security vulnerabilities and plug into CI/CD, with evals running locally. Now part of OpenAI and still open source under MIT.

Open-source e-book manager whose command-line tools (ebook-convert, ebook-meta, calibredb) batch-convert between EPUB, MOBI, AZW3, PDF, DOCX and more and manage library metadata. The install command is Linux-only; on macOS and Windows use the installer.

160+ specialized Claude Code subagents, packaged as plugins in 10 categories such as core development, languages, infrastructure, testing and security, and data and AI, so you install only what you need.

Define cloud infrastructure in general-purpose languages like TypeScript, Python and Go, then preview and deploy with pulumi up to AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes and 300+ other providers. Open source and maintained by Pulumi.

Declarative diagram scripting language: describe architecture diagrams, flowcharts and sequence diagrams in concise text with automatic layout, then render with the d2 command to SVG, PNG, PDF or PPTX. Lets agents produce diagrams you can version-control.

Fast speech transcription built on faster-whisper, with word-level timestamps and speaker diarization, suited to meeting notes and subtitles. Diarization needs a Hugging Face token; GPU acceleration needs CUDA.

Community-maintained modern replacement for ls (successor to exa) with colored output, tree view, Git status and file icons, plus .gitignore filtering for quickly scanning directory structures.

Encrypts secret values in YAML, JSON, ENV and INI config files using AWS, GCP or Azure KMS, age or PGP, so secrets can be safely committed to Git alongside code. A CNCF sandbox project.

From Firecrawl: converts Word, PowerPoint, Excel, PDF, EPUB, RTF and more into clean Markdown locally in milliseconds, keeping headings, tables, footnotes and formulas so agents can read attachments. Needs Node.js; optional Firecrawl cloud OCR for scans uploads the whole file.

Offline speech transcription and translation based on Whisper; audio never leaves your machine. buzz add exports lectures, interviews and meeting recordings to TXT, SRT or VTT. pip install needs Python 3.12 and FFmpeg; a desktop app is also available. Check transcripts manually.
