## About

# 🧰 AI Toolkit by Role

**New to AI and not sure what to install? Start here.** A plain-English, filterable directory of the AI **skills**, **connectors**, and **plugins** worth setting up — organized by *your job*, mapped across Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, Gemini and more, and ranked by real **GitHub stars**.

### 👉 [**Open the filterable website**](https://rahul-khare997.github.io/ai-toolkit-by-role/) — search and filter by role, tool, type, and where it works.

> ⭐ Star counts are pulled live from GitHub and refreshed weekly (as of 2026-07-13). 🧰 = built into Claude already, so you may not need to install it.

## 🤔 First, what are these things? (60-second explainer)

If you're new to AI coding and chatting, the words are confusing. Here they are in plain English:

- **🧠 Skill** — A packaged set of instructions that teaches your AI a specialized task — like writing a legal privacy notice, building a slide deck, or cleaning a spreadsheet. You 'install' it and then just ask for the task.
- **🔌 Connector (MCP)** — A bridge that lets your AI reach an outside app or data source — GitHub, Gmail, a database, Slack. Most use a standard called MCP (Model Context Protocol). Think of it as giving your AI a new sense or a new hand.
- **🧩 Plugin** — A bundle you install into a tool that adds a set of features at once — often several skills, commands, and connectors packaged together.
- **📏 Rule / Config** — A short instructions file that shapes how a coding agent behaves in your project — like a house-style guide the AI reads before it works (e.g. .cursorrules, AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md).
- **🧷 Extension** — An add-on you install into an app or code editor (like a VS Code or Cursor extension) to add AI features to that app.
- **🚀 App** — A standalone AI product you use on its own — its own website or app (like an AI video maker or a data-analysis tool). You don't install it into another AI; you just sign up and use it.

### 💬 vs ⌨️ — "chat" tools vs "code" tools

Some of these work in **chat apps**, some only in **coding agents**, and some in both:

- **💬 Chat** — Works in AI chat apps like Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, or Gemini — the kind where you type a message and it replies.
- **⌨️ Code** — Works in AI coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor — tools that can read and edit your files and run commands for you.
- **🔀 Both** — Works in both chat apps and coding agents.
- **🌐 Standalone** — Used on its own — it has its own website or app, and doesn't run inside Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor.

> This matters! Many of the most popular skills (Superpowers, claude-mem, caveman…) are **⌨️ code-only** — they work in Claude Code or Cursor but **not** in a chat app like ChatGPT. Every item below is tagged with where it works.

## 🚦 How to use this

1. **Find your role** below (or use the [website](https://rahul-khare997.github.io/ai-toolkit-by-role/) to filter).
2. Start with **⭐ Must-have for everyone**, then your specific role.
3. Check the **Works in** column so you set it up in the right kind of tool.
4. Skip anything marked **🧰 built-in** — Claude already ships it.
5. Follow the **name link** for exact, up-to-date install steps.

> ⚠️ **Please read:** community-curated, not official docs. The AI space changes fast — always confirm install steps and permissions at the linked source before installing, and give connectors the *least* access they need (read-only when possible). Content last checked: 2026-07-13.
