opencode-worktree: Automate Isolated OpenCode Git Worktrees
A retired OpenCode V1 plugin that creates isolated Git worktrees and opens a separate terminal session for each one. It suits CLI-first AI coding workflows, but OpenCode V2 users should use native worktree features or standard Git worktrees.
ralph-orchestrator: Coordinate AI Agents in Task-Completion Loops
Ralph Orchestrator runs AI coding agents in structured loops, using specialized roles and quality gates to keep work moving toward completion. It suits developers who want repeatable, multi-step workflows across several agent CLIs.
agent-factory: Generate Executable AI Agent Workflows
Agent Factory turns natural-language task descriptions into executable Python agent workflows, using MCP tools and the any-agent library. It is aimed at developers who want to create, evaluate, and run agents without hand-coding every workflow.
github-tools: Give AI Agents Typed Access to GitHub
A TypeScript toolkit that turns GitHub API operations into typed tools for AI SDK agents. It adds task-focused presets, human approval for writes, and support for durable agent execution.
gh-aw: Build AI-Powered Repository Workflows
gh-aw is a GitHub CLI extension for defining AI-powered repository automation in Markdown and running it through GitHub Actions. It suits teams adding agent reasoning to tasks that are difficult to express as deterministic scripts.
bux: Run a Persistent Browser Automation Agent on Your Server
bux runs Claude Code as an always-on agent with a persistent Chromium browser, Browser Use Cloud, and optional Telegram access. It is for people who want browser tasks available from a VPS or other Ubuntu machine.
cognithor: Run a Local Autonomous AI Agent
Cognithor is a Python agent operating system for running an assistant locally, connecting it to LLMs, messaging channels, memory, and tools. It suits users who want configurable personal automation and control over where their data is stored.
ECC: Equip Coding Agents with Reusable Engineering Workflows
ECC is a toolkit for adding structured engineering workflows to AI coding agents. It combines reusable skills, specialized agents, hooks, memory, and security scanning, with support across Claude Code and several other harnesses.
craft-agents-oss: Manage AI Agent Work in a Desktop App
Craft Agents is a customizable desktop workspace for running AI agent sessions, connecting services and files, and organizing work across projects. It also offers a headless server and CLI for remote use and scripting.
autoresearch: Run Goal-Driven Improvement Loops with Coding Agents
Autoresearch turns Claude Code, OpenCode, or OpenAI Codex into an agent that makes focused changes, verifies them against a metric, and keeps or reverts each attempt. It suits developers who can define a goal and a mechanical way to measure progress.
claude-code-codex-bridge: Sync Claude Code Setup to Codex
A Python CLI that turns local Claude Code plugins, skills, agents, commands, MCP servers, and instructions into Codex equivalents. Useful for developers who maintain both tools and want Claude Code to remain the source of truth.
ios-simulator-skill: Build and Test iOS Apps with Claude Code
A Claude Code plugin that wraps Xcode builds and iOS Simulator interaction in focused scripts. It suits developers using AI agents to build, test, and navigate iOS apps while keeping tool output concise.
