SuperCLI Reaches 6,000 Plugins — Here Are 20 Highlights From the 5K 6K Run

SuperCLI 6K banner

SuperCLI just crossed 6,000 bundled plugins — that is 6,000+ CLI tools packed into one unified command interface. Here is the deal: one sc binary, one command pattern, 6,000 tools.

This is the second big milestone in two weeks — we hit 5K in early June, and have now added another 950+ plugins to reach 6K. Here are the 20 most interesting additions from that run.


Top 10 — Curated Brand Picks

These were hand-picked for quality, verified with smoke tests, and have strong GitHub communities:

1. zagi — Better Git CLI with JSON Output

★ 286 | Zig | curl -fsSL zagi.sh/install | sh
A drop-in git replacement with --json output. git --json status gives you structured JSON instead of parsing verbose text. Essential for AI agents that need to understand git state without token waste.

2. slowql — SQL Static Analyzer

★ 203 | Rust | pipx install slowql
272 analysis rules covering performance, security, and compliance. CI pipeline-ready with --non-interactive and --export json. Catches bad queries before they reach production (and waste your tokens).

3. abtop — AI Agent Session Monitor

★ 2,770 | Rust | cargo install abtop
htop for AI coding agents. Track tokens, context windows, rate limits, and ports in real-time. abtop --json for scriptable snapshots. Compatible with Claude Code, Codex CLI, and more.

4. rulesync — AI Agent Rules Manager

★ 1,154 | TypeScript | npm install -g rulesync
Syncs CLAUDE.md, skills, commands, MCP configs, and hooks across projects. rulesync init creates a complete .rulesync/ structure. Keeps agent context lean and consistent.

5. tokentap — LLM API Token Proxy

★ 797 | Python | pip install tokentap
Intercepts LLM API traffic and shows real-time token usage. Built-in proxies for Claude Code, Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI. Zero configuration — just tokentap run <command>.

6. krep — SIMD-Accelerated Text Search

★ 452 | C | brew install krep
Drop-in grep replacement with SIMD acceleration, multi-threading, and automatic algorithm selection. Gitignore-aware, stdin-pipeline-ready.

7. fast-cli — Internet Speed Test

★ 61 | Rust | curl -sSL https://github.com/mikkelam/fast-cli/releases/download/v0.3.5/fast-cli-x86_64-linux.tar.gz | tar xz
Single ~8.5MB binary implementing the fast.com protocol. No dependencies, no JavaScript, no bloat. Just speed.

8. magic-cli — Terminal Magician

★ 746 | Rust/JS | npm install -g magic-cli
Generates projects from templates, scaffolds code, and boosts terminal productivity. Binary: magic. Comes with aliases and generators.

9. glasskube — Kubernetes Package Manager

★ 3,494 | Go | brew install glasskube
Dependency-aware Kubernetes package management with GitOps support and automatic updates. A CNCF landscape project.

10. semtools — Semantic Search CLI

★ 1,814 | Rust | cargo install semtools
Semantic search and document parsing from the command line. Search code by meaning and parse documents without leaving your terminal.


Top 10 — System & Developer Tools

These came from the "batch 83" run — scanning system binaries and wrapping them as SuperCLI plugins:

11. wireshark (tshark) — Network Packet Analyzer

Standard tool | apt-get install wireshark-cli
The gold standard for packet analysis. Now available as sc wireshark _ _ <args>. Analyze captures, filter traffic, diagnose network issues.

12. distrobox — Containerized Development

Standard tool | apt-get install distrobox
Create and manage container-based development environments. distrobox-create, distrobox-enter, distrobox-export. Seamless host-container integration.

13. timg — Terminal Image Viewer

C++ | apt-get install timg
Displays images directly in your terminal using Sixel or Kitty protocol. No external dependencies. Great for CI visual diff reports.

14. dhall-json — Configuration Language to JSON

Standard tool | apt-get install dhall-json
Convert Dhall configuration language to JSON/YAML. Type-safe, import-based configuration that eliminates YAML templating.

15. openssl — Cryptography Swiss Army Knife

Standard tool | apt-get install openssl
The ubiquitous crypto toolkit. Now at sc openssl _ _. Generate keys, certificates, digests, and encrypted data from a single command pattern.

16. iptables — Firewall Management

Standard tool | apt-get install iptables
Linux packet filtering and NAT. The backbone of container networking, now addressable as a SuperCLI command.

17. mysqldump — Database Export

Standard tool | apt-get install mysql-client
MySQL/MariaDB database export. Essential for backups, migrations, and CI database seeding.

18. restic — Backup Tool

★ 28K+ | Go | apt-get install restic
Fast, secure, deduplicating backup program. Supports local, S3, SFTP, and many other backends. Encrypted by default.

19. timeshift — System Restore

Standard tool | apt-get install timeshift
Filesystem-level system restore tool for Linux. Creates incremental snapshots using rsync or Btrfs snapshots.

20. snapper — Filesystem Snapshot Manager

Standard tool | apt-get install snapper
Automated Btrfs/LVM snapshot management with timeline-based cleanup policies. Perfect for CI-driven infrastructure.


One CLI to Rule Them All

SuperCLI is built for AI agents first. Every plugins follows the same triple pattern: sc <ns> <res> <action>. No matter what tool you are wrapping — a system binary, a Rust crate, a Python package, or a remote API — the interface is identical.

Try it:

npx superacli plugins explore --name zagi
npx superacli plugins install ./plugins/zagi
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Or just browse the catalog:

npx superacli plugins explore --limit 20 --json
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Repository: github.com/javimosch/supercli
Skill: github.com/javimosch/token-reduction-ultimate

6,000 plugins and growing. Every day, the catalog gets bigger, and the command stays the same.
