GitHub toolkit for spec-driven development: the specify CLI adds agent commands and skills to a project, from principles to implementation
CLI tools
A CLI is a command-line utility that helps you work with agents: it installs and runs skills, gathers context and automates routine work. This section collects tools with real commands from their docs, a clear purpose and a risk level.
Match with Foxx AI
Describe the task or paste package.json, and Foxx AI will pick matching skills, MCP servers and CLI tools.
skills (npx skills)
skills
A skill package manager: installs, finds, updates and removes SKILL.md packages from GitHub and other git hosts across many agents
Editors’ pick
The bd issue tracker with a dependency graph on Dolt: long-term memory and a work plan for agents instead of Markdown lists
Editors’ pick
Token and cost reports for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI and other agents from local logs, by day, month and session
Playwright CLI
playwright-cli
Microsoft's official Playwright CLI with an agent skill: drive a browser through short commands without heavy MCP schemas
APM
APM (Agent Package Manager)
A package manager for AI agent context: skills, prompts and MCP servers install with one command across supported agents
A Rust CLI proxy that compacts output from git, tests and other commands so the agent spends fewer tokens reading the terminal
A CLI that builds a graph of linked notes from your repo and feeds the matching nodes into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini and other agents
A Go CLI that configures the AI coding agents you already use: it gives them shared memory, a workflow and deterministic steps without replacing the agents them
Official
Duplicate code detector for 220+ languages with an MCP server for agents and a token-efficient report
Local browsing, search and cost tracking for Claude Code, Codex and other agent sessions in one web UI
Tokscale
tokscale
A CLI with an interactive TUI that tracks token usage and cost across AI coding agents: Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, Cursor and more
A CLI with policies that intercepts dangerous AI agent commands like rm -rf, force push or reading .env before they run
A desktop app and CLI to install, sync and organize agent skills across Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other tools
Sound and on-screen notifications for coding agents: game voice lines when the agent finishes or waits for permission
A container-free CLI sandbox for AI agents that runs Claude Code, Codex, or OpenCode with restricted access to files, network, and credentials
The zg local-first search tool: ripgrep, BM25 and vector search unified behind one interface for humans and agents
A zero-config linter and formatter for JavaScript and TypeScript, with ready presets for dozens of AI agents and editors
Agent of Empires
Agent of Empires (AoE)
A session manager for coding agents: runs Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex and other CLIs in parallel, isolated tmux sessions with a TUI and web dashboard
A CLI that loops Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode and other agents over a task list or PRD until everything is done
A CLI that keeps agent instructions in one place and distributes them to the right config files for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Copilot and two dozen other tool
A Go CLI that keeps skills, agents and rules in one place and syncs them into every AI agent with one command
A portable .agent folder with memory, skills and protocols that plugs into many coding agents and keeps its knowledge when you switch tools
A CLI to run several coding agents: one config, a session console, local memory and a set of engineering skills
