Turns natural-language descriptions, Mermaid or a real code repo into interactive single-file HTML diagrams: architecture, flowcharts, sequence diagrams, data flows and state machines. Validates output automatically and exports PNG or SVG.

Modern markup-based typesetting system, a LaTeX alternative for papers, reports and resumes. Fast incremental compilation; typst compile outputs a PDF in one command and watch mode recompiles automatically.

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.

Universal document converter between dozens of formats including Markdown, Word, HTML, LaTeX and EPUB, with templates, citations and Lua filters. PDF output uses LaTeX by default, which you install separately.

Claude Code plugin for Next AI Draw.io that starts its Draw.io MCP server via npx. Generate and edit flowcharts, architecture and sequence diagrams in plain language, with live browser preview, version history and .drawio export. Needs Node.js.

Lets agents create and edit draw.io diagrams such as flowcharts and architecture diagrams in plain language, with live browser preview, version history and export to .drawio, PNG or SVG. Includes an embedded server; runs locally with no API key.

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.

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.

Compiles Markdown chapters into an online book with a table of contents, full-text search and themes, good for manuals, lecture notes and course material; agents can edit chapter files and rebuild to preview. Maintained by the Rust team; install a prebuilt binary or via cargo.

Generates editable draw.io architecture diagrams, ER diagrams, UML and BPMN flows from natural language or from Terraform, SQL DDL, OpenAPI specs and code repos, with incremental sync and multi-format export. Native export needs the draw.io desktop app.

Posit's open-source scientific and technical publishing system built on Pandoc: embed Python, R or Julia code in Markdown or Jupyter notebooks, then quarto render produces HTML, PDF, Word, slides, websites and books.

Turns any codebase into an interactive browser course: real code with plain-language explanations, animations, hover glossaries and scenario quizzes. Built for people who build software with AI but can't read code, and useful for intro programming classes. Needs only an agent and the repo.

Converts AsciiDoc, a Markdown-like plain-text markup, into HTML5, DocBook and man pages, and with official extensions into PDF and EPUB, suited to technical books, textbooks and large manuals. Ruby-based; install with Homebrew on macOS.

Builds Markdown and Jupyter notebooks into online textbook sites with a TOC, math, citations and cross-references, plus publication-quality PDF export; popular for course notes. A Jupyter subproject installed via pipx or npm; PDF export needs Typst or LaTeX.

Fast async link checker written in Rust that scans websites and Markdown, HTML and other files for broken links and email addresses, with JSON output, config files and an official GitHub Action, often wired into docs CI.
