Skill pack for Claude Code that helps monitor, troubleshoot, and audit Kubernetes clusters using agent-friendly skills and cluster tooling.

Stage CLI is an AI-powered code review tool that groups local changes into logical chapters and helps users review what matters before diving into the code. It works with any AI agent, installs via npm, and can be invoked as a local command to open a browser-based review UI.

Local-first Mac vault for Markdown, JSON, and agent-ready context, with optional self-hosted sync, share links, and an HTTP API for agent workflows.

Flue is an open-source Python tool that lets coding agents control desktop software from the command line without MCP servers. The README says it works with apps like Photoshop, Blender, Unity, Houdini, and Microsoft Office, and supports harnesses such as Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, and OpenCode.

Sandboxed bash for agents with structured command output and full filesystem state capture after each run.

Runtime governance and containment for AI agents. Faramesh sits between an agent and its tools to enforce policy checks, approval steps, credential isolation, and tamper-evident audit logs before risky actions execute.

A Claude Code plugin that learns from user corrections and successful runs, then turns them into reusable rules and playbooks stored locally.

A ~1000-line C workflow runtime where an LLM can modify a DAG during execution using a restricted four-verb grammar, with every change written to an append-only audit log for replay and inspection.

A self-hosted TypeScript harness for building provider-neutral LLM agent systems inside an application or platform, with typed agent and workflow runtime, tool support, state, tracing, and example workspaces.

Herd is a lightweight desktop IDE for coordinating multiple AI coding agents at once. It supports parallel tasks, real-time status monitoring, and works with tools like Claude Code and Codex on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

A local-first, file-based context and memory system for AI coding assistants. It’s designed to persist decisions, tasks, and learnings across sessions so tools can rehydrate project context instead of starting from scratch.

Open-source Rust coding agent with LLM-native code understanding, shell safety, and support for multiple LLM providers with automatic failover.

A tool that converts any URL into markdown optimized for coding agents, with browser, CLI, API, SDK, and agent integration support.

Ragnerock is a research intelligence platform that turns raw sources into queryable, structured data. It supports extraction, analysis, and research workflows across SQL, Excel, PDF, HTML, images, and other sources, with audit trails and deployment into existing infrastructure.

Lightport is a lightweight AI gateway that makes LLM providers OpenAI-compatible. The repo shows supported endpoints, a long provider list, quickstart commands, request examples, and active maintenance signals.

Archik is a developer tool for describing architecture diagrams in plain YAML and rendering them as a live canvas or SVG. It integrates with Claude Code through an installed skill and slash commands, and adds validation, traceability, and CI-friendly rendering.

A tutorial and live demo showing how to build an AI SQL analyst agent that inspects schema, writes queries, runs them, and explains results using Node.js, OpenAI, Vercel AI SDK, and SQLite.

A persistent memory layer for AI agents, built as a standard MCP server with local setup, dashboard, and benchmark claims against other memory tools.

Harness is an open-source app for running a team of AI agents, with support for Claude, browser control, mobile access, and a headless server mode for remote use.

A tiny macOS menu bar utility that keeps your Mac awake for long-running agent work, builds, downloads, and other tasks, even with the lid closed.

A security product for Claude Code that reviews application architecture inside the IDE via MCP, with contextual assessments, prioritized mitigations, and continuous re-checks as the codebase changes.

AgentRQ is a human-in-the-loop task management platform for AI agents, with MCP-based integrations, real-time notifications, and a Vue/Go stack for collaborative workspace workflows.

A Java framework for building stateful multi-agent workflows on top of Spring AI, with graphs, routing, retries, checkpoints, and shared state.

BugTape is an error-tracking tool built for coding agents, capturing browser errors, failed requests, console output, and replay so an agent can inspect evidence and propose fixes over MCP.
