From the latest news to tools that work for you.
Kiro is an AI engineering tool for developers that organizes requirements into specifications, architectures, and tasks, generates code via agents, and supports the entire workflow—from planning to code review—through property-based testing, execution memory, and integration with development tools.
OOpenCode is an open-source programming agent that can connect to various models via terminal, desktop, and editor interfaces, assisting with code reading, writing, and execution. The tool itself is free to use; fees and quotas for external models or existing subscriptions must be calculated separately.
SGenetic Skills Framework and Software Development Approach Plugin for Jesse Vincent Open Source
COpen source plugin to provide a permanent memory capability for AI programming assistants such as Claude Code
bbook-to-skill is an open-source command-line tool that can locally convert any technical PDF book (or other structured text) into executable skills compliant with the Open Agent Skills standard, embedding knowledge directly into the development workflow—without requiring file uploads or cloud-based processing.
SMODULARIZATION OF OPEN-SOURCE COMMERCIAL SOUP TECHNOLOGY
AAzure Skills is an official Microsoft-provided agent plugin that offers pre-packaged skill sets and MCP server configurations for Azure scenarios, enabling compatible coding agents to perform real-world Azure tasks rather than merely generating generalized cloud recommendations.
SAI Agent Skills Bank launched by Matt Pocock
CCline is an open-source AI programming agent that can understand projects, modify files, execute commands, and view diffs across editors, terminals, and standalone desktop applications. It supports planning before execution and can integrate with built-in API keys, local models, and MCP tools.
DDeepSeek Harness is an open-source agent framework and application designed for everyday office work and development. It handles documents, spreadsheets, code, and scheduled tasks through composable plugins, and offers features such as a workspace, result previews, and the ability to view tool execution traces.

Biology doesn't operate in silos, and neither should the AI representation of it. Quine is an early-stage research effort to create a multimodal world model of biology. By connecting insights across biological scales and modalities, Quine helps scientists computationally search a space far larger than intuition allows and prioritize hypotheses before they reach the lab. Experimental results provide important feedback, helping researchers sharpen future research directions. The post Introducing Quine: An AI research system designed for the complexity of biology appeared first on Microsoft Research.
