RKN Block Checker
Diagnose RKN/TSPU internet blocks layer by layer (DNS, TCP, TLS, HTTP)
RKN Block Checker is a small Python CLI for diagnosing whether the current network connection is affected by Russian RKN or TSPU blocking. It tests blocking behavior layer by layer instead of only reporting that a site is unreachable. The tool can help distinguish DNS poisoning, TCP reset behavior, TLS DPI based on SNI, and ISP stub pages. This makes it useful for developers, system administrators, network researchers, and censorship-measurement workflows. It is designed as a console utility with straightforward installation and optional proxy support. Its main value is giving users a structured way to understand what kind of network interference is occurring rather than relying on vague connectivity symptoms. -

GAM
Command line management for Google Workspace
GAM is a command line tool that allows administrators to manage many aspects of their Google Workspace (formerly G Suite / Google Apps) Account. This page provides simple instructions for downloading, installing and starting to use GAM. GAM requires paid (or Education/non-profit) editions of Google Workspace. G Suite Legacy Free Edition has limited API support and not all GAM commands work. While many GAM functions do not require domain administrative privileges, the setup does. Download GAM, then run the MSI installer. By default, GAM will install to C:\GAM but you can change this to wherever you prefer. GAM will also be added to your path so you can run GAM even if you're not in the GAM folder. At the end of the MSI install process, GAM will open a command prompt to allow you to setup a project and authorize GAM for admin management and user data/config access. -

code-review-graph
Local-first code intelligence graph for MCP and CLI
Code Review Graph is a local-first code intelligence tool that builds a persistent structural map of a software repository. It parses source files with Tree-sitter and stores functions, classes, imports, calls, inheritance, and test relationships in a SQLite graph. When code changes, blast-radius analysis identifies the callers, dependents, and tests most likely to be affected. AI coding assistants can query this focused context through MCP instead of repeatedly scanning an entire codebase. Incremental indexing reparses only changed files and their relevant dependencies, making it practical for large repositories and monorepos. The command-line installer can detect and configure numerous supported coding tools automatically. It also offers watch mode, hooks, skills, a VS Code extension, and review-oriented risk analysis. -

dirsearch
Web path scanner
An advanced command-line tool designed to brute force directories and files in webservers, AKA web path scanner. Wordlist is a text file, each line is a path. About extensions, unlike other tools, dirsearch only replaces the %EXT% keyword with extensions from -e flag. For wordlists without %EXT% (like SecLists), -f | --force-extensions switch is required to append extensions to every word in wordlist, as well as the /. To use multiple wordlists, you can separate your wordlists with commas. Example: wordlist1.txt,wordlist2.txt. Default values for dirsearch flags can be edited in the configuration file: default.conf. The thread number (-t | --threads) reflects the number of separated brute force processes. And so the bigger the thread number is, the faster dirsearch runs. By default, the number of threads is 30, but you can increase it if you want to speed up the progress. -

Ansible-lint
Best practices checker for Ansible
Ansible Lint is a command-line tool for linting playbooks, roles and collections aimed towards any Ansible users. Its main goal is to promote proven practices, patterns and behaviors while avoiding common pitfalls that can easily lead to bugs or make code harder to maintain. Ansible lint is also supposed to help users upgrade their code to work with newer versions of Ansible. Due to this reason we recommend using it with the newest version of Ansible, even if the version used in production may be older. As any other linter, it is opinionated. Still, its rules are the result of community contributions and they can always be disabled based individually or by category by each user. ansible-lint checks playbooks for practices and behavior that could potentially be improved. As a community-backed project ansible-lint supports only the last two major versions of Ansible. -

aws-cli
Universal Command Line Interface for Amazon Web Services
The AWS CLI is the universal command-line interface for managing AWS services, automating tasks, and scripting cloud workflows. It exposes nearly every public API from EC2 and S3 to IAM, Lambda, and beyond, providing parity with the service SDKs in a tool you can run anywhere. Profiles, regions, single-sign-on, and credential helpers make it straightforward to switch contexts securely across accounts and environments. Its output controls and JMESPath querying let you slice, filter, and transform JSON responses directly in the shell, which is essential for automation. Waiters, paginators, and retries handle long-running or large list operations cleanly so scripts are resilient. The CLI’s stability and extensive documentation make it a cornerstone for CI/CD, incident response, and day-to-day operations. -

simple-modern-uv
A minimal, modern Python project template
simple-modern-uv is a minimal yet production-ready Python project template that uses the uv toolchain to streamline dependency management, virtualenvs, and packaging. It aims to be “small but serious,” giving you the essentials—testing, linting, type checking, formatting, GitHub Actions—without burying you in boilerplate. The layout is opinionated around a pyproject.toml so configuration is centralized and easy to inspect. Defaults encourage good hygiene from day one, including reproducible builds and a clean release workflow to PyPI. Because the template is intentionally compact, it’s easy to understand and customize for libraries, CLIs, or small services. It’s a fast way to start new Python projects with modern tooling and guardrails already in place. -

Data Contract CLI
Enforce Data Contracts
Data Contract CLI is an open-source command-line tool and Python library for creating, validating, testing, importing, exporting, and enforcing data contracts. It uses YAML-based contract files to define the structure, meaning, quality rules, service levels, and connection details for a data product. The tool can connect to real data sources and check whether the actual dataset matches the schema, constraints, and quality expectations described in the contract. It supports both the Data Contract Specification and the Open Data Contract Standard, making it useful for teams standardizing data governance across different platforms. It can run locally, inside CI/CD pipelines, through Docker, or directly from Python code. Overall, it helps data producers and consumers treat data products more like APIs, with explicit expectations, automated checks, and clearer accountability. -

tccutil.py
Command line tool to modify OS X's accessibility database (TCC.db)
Apple has a utility in /usr/bin named tccutil, but it only supports one command, which is to reset the entire database. It has been like this for many versions of macOS. I wanted a command-line utility that would be able to add, remove, list, and take other actions. This tool needs SIP disabled in order to function. The risk of doing so is up to you. tccutil.py can be installed without any additional software. Depending how you have your $PATH variable setup, you can simply type tccutil (instead of the full path) and it will run this utility instead of Apple's. This utility needs super-user priveleges for most operations. It is important that you either run this as root or use sudo, otherwise it won't work and you will end up with “permission denied” errors. -

Claude Code Templates
CLI tool for configuring and monitoring Claude Code
Claude Code Templates is a popular open-source CLI tool and template ecosystem designed to streamline how developers work with Anthropic’s Claude Code by providing a rich catalog of ready-to-use code templates, AI agents, custom commands, settings, hooks, and external integrations that can be installed interactively or via the command line. It lets you quickly scaffold domain-specific AI agents (like security auditors, performance optimizers, or database architects), fill in consistent project configurations, and embed automated workflows without reinventing the wheel for each new project. The templates and components are organized by workflow so teams can adopt best practices for testing, deployment, documentation, DevOps automation, and more, all powered by Claude’s agent SDK. Interactive installation commands and a marketplace-style interface make it easy to browse and apply components, and the tool also includes development utilities like analytics and conversation monitoring. -

Ansible Molecule
Molecule aids in the development and testing of Ansible roles
Molecule project is designed to aid in the development and testing of Ansible roles. Molecule provides support for testing with multiple instances, operating systems and distributions, virtualization providers, test frameworks and testing scenarios. Molecule encourages an approach that results in consistently developed roles that are well-written, easily understood and maintained. Molecule supports only the latest two major versions of Ansible (N/N-1), meaning that if the latest version is 2.9.x, we will also test our code with 2.8.x. Depending on the driver chosen, you may need to install additional OS packages. See INSTALL.rst, which is created when initializing a new scenario. Ansible is not listed as a direct dependency of molecule package because we only call it as a command-line tool. You may want to install it using your distribution package installer. It is your responsibility to assure that soft dependencies of Ansible are available on your controller or host machines. -

PAL MCP
The power of Claude Code / GeminiCLI / CodexCLI
PAL MCP is an open-source Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to act as a powerful middleware layer that connects AI clients and tools—like Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, and IDE plugins—to a broad range of underlying AI models, enabling collaborative multi-model workflows rather than relying on a single model. It lets developers orchestrate interactions across multiple models (including Gemini, OpenAI, Grok, Azure, Ollama, OpenRouter, and custom/self-hosted models), preserving conversation context seamlessly as tasks evolve and substeps run across tools. By supporting conversation threading and context passing, pal-mcp-server helps maintain continuity during complex processes like code reviews, automated planning, implementation, and validation, allowing models to “debate” or weigh in on specific subtasks for better outcomes. -

Pyright
Static type checker for Python
Pyright is a fast type checker meant for large Python source bases. It can run in a “watch” mode and performs fast incremental updates when files are modified. Pyright supports configuration files that provide granular control over settings. Different “execution environments” can be associated with subdirectories within a source base. Each environment can specify different module search paths, python language versions, and platform targets. Type inference for function return values, instance variables, class variables, and globals. Type guards that understand conditional code flow constructs like if/else statements. Type hinting generics in standard collections. Pyright ships as both a command-line tool and a VS Code extension that provides many powerful features that help improve programming efficiency. The VS Code extension supports many time-saving language features. -

node-gyp
Node.js native addon build tool
node-gyp is a cross-platform command-line tool written in Node.js for compiling native addon modules for Node.js. It contains a vendored copy of the gyp-next project that was previously used by the Chromium team, extended to support the development of Node.js native addons. Note that node-gyp is not used to build Node.js itself. Multiple target versions of Node.js are supported (i.e. 0.8, ..., 4, 5, 6, etc.), regardless of what version of Node.js is actually installed on your system (node-gyp downloads the necessary development files or headers for the target version). node-gyp requires that you have installed a compatible version of Python, one of: v3.6, v3.7, v3.8, or v3.9. If you have multiple Python versions installed, you can identify which Python version node-gyp should use. A binding.gyp file describes the configuration to build your module, in a JSON-like format. This file gets placed in the root of your package, alongside package.json. -

q - Text as Data
Run SQL directly on CSV or TSV files
q is a command line tool that allows direct execution of SQL-like queries on CSVs/TSVs (and any other tabular text files). q treats ordinary files as database tables, and supports all SQL constructs, such as WHERE, GROUP BY, JOINs etc. It supports automatic column name and column type detection, and provides full support for multiple encodings. q fully supports all types of encoding. Use -e data-encoding to set the input data encoding, -Q query-encoding to set the query encoding, and use -E output-encoding to set the output encoding. Sensible defaults are in place for all three parameters. Files with BOM: Files which contain a BOM (Byte Order Mark) are not properly supported inside python's csv module. q contains a workaround that allows reading UTF8 files which contain a BOM - Use -e utf-8-sig for this. The plan is to separate the BOM handling from the encoding itself, which would allow to support BOMs for all encodings. -
22
BackAnt CLI
Let your AI agent create clean, easy to maintain flask backends
BackAnt CLI is an AI-native backend scaffolding tool designed to generate production-ready Flask APIs from a JSON specification or a small set of CLI commands. Its main goal is to reduce the repetitive work involved in setting up layered backend projects by generating key application components automatically rather than forcing developers to assemble them by hand. The tool creates a structured backend architecture that includes routes, services, repositories, models, startup files, Docker Compose configurations, and CI/CD workflows, which makes it especially useful for teams that want consistency across projects. It can scaffold an entire API or extend an existing project by generating a single route or sub-route, so it supports both greenfield development and iterative expansion. BackAnt CLI is also designed to work with coding agents through an MCP server, which allows compatible AI development tools to generate and modify backend code directly from chat-driven workflows. -
23
HTTPie CLI
Modern, user-friendly command-line HTTP client for the API era
HTTPie (pronounced aitch-tee-tee-pie) is a command-line HTTP client. Its goal is to make CLI interaction with web services as human-friendly as possible. HTTPie is designed for testing, debugging, and generally interacting with APIs & HTTP servers. The HTTP & HTTPS commands allow for creating and sending arbitrary HTTP requests. They use simple and natural syntax and provide formatted and colorized output. -

PathPicker
Accepts a wide range of input, output from git commands & grep results
PathPicker accepts a wide range of input, output from git commands, grep results, searches, pretty much anything. After parsing the input, PathPicker presents you with a nice UI to select which files you're interested in. After that you can open them in your favorite editor or execute arbitrary commands. Facebook PathPicker is a simple command line tool that solves the perpetual problem of selecting files out of bash output. Bash is fully supported and works the best. ZSH is supported as well, but won't have a few features like alias expansion in command line mode. csh/fish/rc are supported in the latest version, but might have quirks or issues in older versions of PathPicker. Note: if your default shell and current shell is not in the same family (bash/zsh... v.s. fish/rc), you need to manually export environment variable $SHELL to your current shell. -
