Turn on research-mode when a task needs stricter evidence handling in Claude Code. It pushes the assistant to stay close to supplied material, cite major claims, separate fact from interpretation, and avoid filling gaps with guesses. The mode is intended for fact checks, comparisons, policy reviews, and source-based summaries, and can be switched off when normal conversational work is more appropriate.

Start with a presentation topic and the workflow coordinates multiple agents to structure content, generate slides, and send them through Gemini review. It outputs 1280×720 SVG pages in a Bento Grid design, with configurable styles, page ranges, brand colors, and resumable run directories across several coding-agent hosts. The documented core output is an SVG slide set.

Parallel Code creates a branch and Git worktree for each task, then launches Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, or another supported coding CLI inside the isolated directory. Its desktop interface keeps sessions, progress, and diffs together, supports inline review comments and head-to-head comparisons, and lets you merge selected results back into the main branch. A Git repository and at least one compatible CLI are required.

cmux is a Ghostty-based native macOS terminal for organizing coding-agent work across vertical tabs, split panes, browser surfaces, and notifications. Its CLI and Unix socket can create workspaces, send keystrokes, inspect screens, and drive the built-in browser, while session restore keeps layouts and supported agent sessions available after relaunch. It is licensed under GPL-3.0-or-later and is currently a macOS application.

Ruflo is an agent meta-harness for Claude Code and Codex, adding specialist agents, swarm coordination, memory, learning, MCP tools, and hooks around development work. Its Claude Code plugin path only adds slash commands, skills, and agent definitions; it does not register the MCP server or hooks. The full npx init path installs the broader runtime, daemon, and orchestration features.

Manta is a desktop invoicing app for freelancers and people who occasionally need invoices, estimates, or receipts without adopting a full accounting service. Users can enable or hide form fields, reorder line items by dragging, customize templates and statuses, and export a PDF for printing or email. Financial data stays on the local machine, but the project describes itself as beta software rather than a complete bookkeeping system.

Describe your offer and ideal customer, and delta-engage searches public Reddit and LinkedIn content for posts that signal real demand rather than generic topic chatter. It ranks buyers, peers, and opinion leaders, then returns a digest with editable comment drafts and engagement angles. You review and post manually from your own account; an optional twice-weekly routine runs through Claude Code, and Python plus your own Apify token are required. Platform terms still apply.

OneCLI is a self-hosted gateway and encrypted vault placed between AI agents and the services they call. Agents send ordinary HTTP requests with placeholder credentials, while the gateway resolves and injects the real secret according to host and path rules. A web dashboard manages agents, scoped access, and key rotation, with a simple local mode or Google OAuth for multi-user deployments.

Prism Scanner applies static detection rules to agent skills, plugin folders, MCP servers, and Python projects, reporting the matched file, rule, reason, and location. It is intended as a pre-install review aid for third-party tools and can run as a Windows application or Python package. A match is a prompt for human inspection, not proof that a file is malicious.

ZeroClaw is a single-binary agent runtime that connects cloud or local model providers to channels such as Telegram, Discord, email, webhooks, and CLI. It supports tools, memory, scheduled or event-driven procedures, and a web dashboard. Supervised autonomy, workspace boundaries, and OS-level sandboxes gate riskier actions by default.

Claude Code is an agentic coding tool that works with the surrounding codebase to carry out routine tasks, explain complex code, and manage Git workflows from natural-language instructions. It can be used in a terminal or IDE and can participate on GitHub when tagged as @claude. The repository also includes plugins that add custom commands and specialized agents.

Pi Agent Harness packages a unified multi-provider LLM API, a tool-calling runtime with state management, an interactive coding CLI, and a terminal UI as composable modules. It gives developers separate extension points for models, tools, and interfaces. Pi has no built-in permission system and inherits the launching process’s filesystem, network, and credential access, so stronger boundaries require a container or sandbox.

OpenHands Agent Canvas is a self-hosted control center for running OpenHands, Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, and other ACP-compatible coding agents from one interface. It can switch among local, Docker, virtual-machine, and cloud backends and trigger engineering workflows on schedules or webhooks. A direct host installation grants full filesystem access. The code is currently moving to the software-agent-sdk and agent-canvas repositories.

Kilo Code works in VS Code, JetBrains, and the terminal to generate multi-file changes, autocomplete code, run commands, and automate browser tasks. You can switch models during a task and choose specialized agents for planning, debugging, questions, or review. Its autonomous CLI mode removes permission prompts, so it should be limited to trusted environments.

goose is an extensible open-source agent available as a desktop app, CLI, and API for coding and broader workflows. Instead of stopping at suggestions, it can install dependencies, execute commands, edit files, and run tests with the user's chosen LLM. It supports macOS, Linux, and Windows, and can be repackaged as a custom distribution with preconfigured model providers, extensions, and branding.

technical-intake helps a non-technical client clarify a vague software idea through an adaptive 25-question interview. It then produces a developer-ready specification, implementation prompt, working React or HTML mockup, tailored tool recommendations, and a project communication style suited to the domain and the client's technical level.

agent-browser gives AI agents commands to open pages, capture accessibility snapshots, click or fill referenced elements, read text, take screenshots, and manage tabs. Its native Rust CLI can also run as an MCP server with selectable tool profiles. Chrome must be installed or downloaded for automation, while features such as the encrypted authentication vault are opt-in.

Cate is a desktop coding workspace that places editors, terminals, browser tabs, documents, Git tools, and AI-agent chats on a zoomable spatial canvas. Panels can dock, split, detach, and persist across projects, while the built-in agent can connect to several model providers. Prebuilt releases are available for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
