10. Ripgrep by BurntSushi
ripgrep (rg) ------------ ripgrep is a line-oriented search tool that recursively searches the current directory for a regex pattern. By default, ripgrep will respect gitignore rules and automatically skip hidden files/directories and binary files. (To disable all automatic filtering by default, use rg -uuu.) ripgrep has first class support on Windows, macOS and Linux, with binary downloads available for every release. ripgrep is similar to other popular search tools like The Silver Searcher, ack and grep.
Please see the CHANGELOG for a release history. Installation User Guide Frequently Asked Questions Regex syntax Configuration files Shell completions Building Translations
This example searches the entire Linux kernel source tree (after running make defconfig && make -j8) for [A-Z]+SUSPEND, where all matches must be words. Timings were collected on a system with an Intel i9-12900K 5.2 GHz.

12. Chrome Devtools MCP by ChromeDevTools
Chrome DevTools for agents (chrome-devtools-mcp) lets your coding agent (such as Antigravity, Claude, Cursor or Copilot) control and inspect a live Chrome browser. It acts as a Model-Context-Protocol (MCP) server, giving your AI coding assistant access to the full power of Chrome DevTools for reliable automation, in-depth debugging, and performance analysis. A CLI is also provided for use without MCP. Get performance insights: Uses Chrome DevTools to record traces and extract actionable performance insights. Advanced browser debugging: Analyze network requests, take screenshots and check browser console messages (with source-mapped stack traces). Reliable automation. Uses puppeteer to automate actions in Chrome and automatically wait for action results.
chrome-devtools-mcp exposes content of the browser instance to the MCP clients allowing them to inspect, debug, and modify any data in the browser or DevTools. Avoid sharing sensitive or personal information that you don't want to share with MCP clients.
chrome-devtools-mcp officially supports Google Chrome and Chrome for Testing only. Other Chromium-based browsers may work, but this is not guaranteed, and you may encounter unexpected behavior. Use at your own discretion. We are committed to providing fixes and support for the latest version of Extended Stable Chrome.

13. I Have ADHD by ayghri
A skill for your coding assistant that stops it from burying the answer. Action first. Steps numbered. No "Hope this helps!"
Great question! Let me think about this. Your auth flow has a few moving pieces: the middleware, the token verification, and the cookie handling. Looking at src/auth.ts, the verifyToken function (around lines 42-58) seems to be using an older jsonwebtoken API. One approach would be to update the package and rewrite that function. After making the change, you'd want to run the auth tests to confirm nothing breaks. By the way, you might also want to look at your dependency versions overall. Hope this helps! Let me know if you want to dig deeper.
Run npm install jsonwebtoken@latest, then edit src/auth.ts:42.

18. Open Code Review by alibaba
Open Code Review is an AI-powered code review CLI tool. It originated as Alibaba Group's internal official AI code review assistant, over the past two years, it has served tens of thousands of developers and identified millions of code defects. After thorough validation at massive scale, we incubated it into an open source project for the community. Simply configure a model endpoint to get started.
It reads Git diffs, sends changed files to a configurable LLM via an agent with tool-use capabilities, and generates structured review comments with line-level precision. The agent can read full file contents, search the codebase, inspect other changed files for context, and produce deep reviews, not just surface-level diff feedback. Beyond diff review, ocr scan reviews entire files for auditing unfamiliar codebases or directories that have no meaningful diff.
Compared to general-purpose agents (Claude Code), Open Code Review achieves significantly higher Precision and F1 with the same underlying model, while consuming only ~1/9 of the tokens and completing reviews faster. Note that its Recall is lower than general-purpose agents, a deliberate trade-off favoring precision over noise.

25. Semantica by semantica-agi
Ingest your enterprise data, extract what matters, build a Context Graph and knowledge graph (KG), and run graph analytics and causal reasoning over all of it, with full decision provenance baked in. Explainable, traceable, and trustworthy by design.
Most AI agents act without a trail. They store embeddings, not meaning: context that can't be explained, decisions that can't be audited. In lending, that gap is a compliance exposure, not an inconvenience: an underwriting agent's approval has to survive a regulator's "why" months later.
Semantica sits underneath your LLM, vector store, and agent framework as a deterministic infrastructure layer: no LLM required for graph construction, reasoning, or provenance.

28. GogCLI by openclaw
gog is one command-line client for Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, and the wider Google Workspace surface. It is built for people, scripts, CI, and agents that need explicit account routing, machine-readable output, and safety controls.
The module path moved from github.com/steipete/gogcli to github.com/openclaw/gogcli. Until the first release tagged after that move is published, @latest still selects an older tag that declares the previous path and fails; install a specific version from the old path in the meantime:
Docker images, Windows archives, raw macOS/Linux binaries, and source builds are covered in the install guide.

29. SaaS Boilerplate by ixartz
SaaS Boilerplate is a powerful and fully customizable template to kickstart your SaaS applications. Built with Next.js and Tailwind CSS, and the modular UI components of Shadcn UI. This Next.js SaaS Template helps you to quickly build and launch SaaS with minimal effort.
Packed with essential features like built-in Authentication, Multi-Tenancy with Team support, Role & Permission, Database, I18n (internationalization), Landing Page, User Dashboard, Form handling, SEO optimization, Logging, Error reporting with Sentry, Testing, Deployment, Monitoring, and User Impersonation, this SaaS template provides everything you need to get started.
Designed with developers in mind, this Next.js Starter Kit uses TypeScript for type safety and integrates ESLint to maintain code quality, along with Prettier for consistent code formatting. The testing suite combines Vitest and Playwright for robust unit, integration, and E2E testing. Continuous integration and deployment are managed via GitHub Actions. For user management, authentication is handled by Clerk. For database operations, it uses Drizzle ORM for type-safe database management across popular databases like PostgreSQL, SQLite, and MySQL. One recommended option is to use Neon, which provides a free PostgreSQL database that is compatible and has been tested with SaaS Boilerplate.

30. CLI Printing Press by mvanhorn
Nothing is more valuable than time and money. In a world of AI agents, that's speed and token spend. A well-designed CLI is muscle memory for an agent: no hunting through docs, no wrong turns, no wasted tokens. We built the Printing Press to print the best CLIs in the world for agents.
It reads the official API docs, studies every popular community CLI and MCP server, sniffs the web for the APIs nobody published (think Google Flights or Dominos), and applies the power-user playbook Peter Steinberger proved with discrawl and gogcli - local SQLite, compound commands, agent-native flags. It fuses all of that and prints a token-efficient Go CLI plus a Claude Code skill plus an MCP server for any API or any website.
Three CLIs printed by the press, installable today: ESPN (sniffed, no official API). "Tonight's NBA playoff games with live score, series state, each team's leading scorer's stat line, and any injury or lineup news from the last 24 hours." Returns everything in one call. flight-goat (Kayak nonstop search plus sniffed Google Flights). "Non-stop flights over 8 hours from Seattle for 4 people, Dec 24 to Jan 1, cheapest first." Two sources stitched into one query. linear-pp-cli (50ms against a local SQLite mirror). "Every blocked issue whose blocker has been stuck for a week." Compound queries the API can't answer.

34. Heygen Cli by heygen-com
Make AI videos from the command line. Drive HeyGen with code, not clicks.
Full reference and examples: developers.heygen.com/cli. Coding agents, Claude Code, Codex, and others CI/CD pipelines, weekly recap videos, release-note vlogs Bulk operations, translate 100 videos in one shell loop Custom integrations, wrap it in your own tool
heygen-com/skills, one-line install for Claude Code, Codex, and other agents. Create your own avatar and generate a video in a single conversation. JSON on stdout, structured errors on stderr, stable exit codes. Self-describing. --request-schema and --response-schema return JSON Schema without auth or API calls. Non-interactive by default. Set HEYGENAPIKEY and nothing reads a TTY. Tell us how it went. After a flow works (or when you hit a bug), run heygen feedback --rating --comment ".". It sends an anonymous rating + note (no API key needed); honors the analytics opt-out. Agents should use this for bugs rather than opening GitHub issues automatically (see Reporting bugs).
