Converts PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, HTML, images, audio and more into Markdown that keeps headings, lists and tables, ready for LLMs to read and analyze. Maintained by Microsoft; requires Python 3.10+.

Download and run open models such as Gemma locally with one command. Provides a REST API and Python/JS libraries, and ollama launch can point Claude Code, Codex and other agents at local models.

Anthropic's document skills, the implementation behind Claude's file features: create, edit and analyze Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF files, including tracked changes, comments, formulas and form filling. Source-available, not under an open-source license.

Guides the agent through writing or improving a skill: clarify intent, draft SKILL.md, run scored evals with and without the skill, then tune the description so it triggers accurately. Official Anthropic skill.

Anthropic's terminal coding agent: understands your codebase, edits code, runs commands and handles git workflows, with plugins, MCP and a headless mode (claude -p). Sign in with a Claude account or set an API key.

OpenAI's coding agent that runs locally, written in Rust: reads and writes code and runs commands inside an OS-level sandbox. Sign in with a ChatGPT plan or use an API key.

Open-source browser agent project. Its browser-use CLI lets Claude Code, Codex and other agents drive your logged-in local Chrome with Python snippets, or connect to a cloud browser; also ships a Python agent library. The cloud browser needs an API key.

Gives agents long-term memory across sessions with a local knowledge graph of entities, relations and observations, stored in a local JSONL file you can query and edit. Official MCP reference implementation.

166 research skills maintained by K-Dense (formerly Claude Scientific Skills), spanning bioinformatics, cheminformatics, clinical research, materials and physics, including unified access to 78 public databases such as PubChem and UniProt. Works with Claude Code, Codex and Cursor.

GitHub's official CLI: manage pull requests, issues, releases and Actions workflows from the terminal. Most commands support --json output that agents can parse, and an official agent skill is available. Run gh auth login first.

GitHub's official MCP server: lets agents read and write repositories and code, manage issues and pull requests, and check Actions workflows and code-scanning alerts. Use the hosted remote server or run it locally in Docker; needs a personal access token or OAuth.

Cloudflare's official remote MCP servers: manage Workers and bindings such as KV, R2 and D1, and query logs and observability, builds, DNS analytics and Radar data. Authorizes with Cloudflare OAuth; some features need a paid plan.

Turns the current folder into a teaching workspace you can resume across conversations: asks your learning goal, gathers reliable sources, builds short HTML lessons and cheat sheets, and tracks progress. Good for self-study and lesson prep; invoke manually (/teach), no API key.

Self-improving agent from Nous Research with built-in memory and a learning loop that turns experience into skills. Works with any model provider; the hermes command has a terminal UI, and a gateway connects it to Telegram, Slack and more and runs scheduled tasks.

Reference for the Claude API and Anthropic SDK: model selection and pricing, streaming, tool use, prompt caching, Managed Agents and more, plus workflows for model migration and prompt audits. Official Anthropic skill.

Guides agents in building quality MCP servers: research the protocol and target API, design tools, implement with Python (FastMCP) or the TypeScript SDK, and write evaluation questions to test the result. Official Anthropic skill.

When answering questions about using Claude and its products, attaches a matching course, tutorial or case study from the Claude Academy catalog. Recommends only strong matches and never invents courses. Official Anthropic skill.

Creates, reads and edits PowerPoint decks: applies templates and layouts, handles speaker notes and comments, and merges or splits slides. The official Anthropic skill behind Claude's document features; source-available, not open source.

Official Claude Code plugin for the prompts.chat library: search prompts and Agent Skills from your coding assistant, fill in variables and improve prompts with AI. Includes commands, subagents and a remote MCP; saving your own prompts needs an API key.

Scaffolds a Claude Agent SDK project in Python or TypeScript interactively with /new-sdk-app, then a verifier agent checks dependencies, config and code against official best practices. Maintained by Anthropic.

Generates hook rules from a one-line description or by analyzing recent conversations. Rules are Markdown files with match conditions that block or warn on dangerous commands and unwanted patterns, and take effect without a restart. Official Anthropic plugin.

Toolkit for building Claude Code plugins: 7 skills on plugin structure, hooks, MCP integration, commands, subagents and skill writing, a guided eight-phase create command, and subagents for agent generation, plugin validation and skill review. Maintained by Anthropic.

Recreates the deprecated Explanatory output style with a SessionStart hook: adds Insight notes before and after code that explain implementation trade-offs and codebase conventions. Official Anthropic plugin; uses extra tokens.
