Productivity Toolbox

Welcome to the Productivity Toolbox.

This series is not a comprehensive tool catalog. It documents the tools that actually make it into daily workflows: how to set them up, how to use them, where their limits are, and how they fit alongside AI agents.

Current topics include:

• OpenCLI: turn websites and logged-in browser sessions into deterministic CLI commands for agents;
• Zotero + LLM: let models read your library, tags, highlights, and notes to support literature review;
• Typora + Markdown: configure a comfortable writing environment and make notes easier to reuse.

• OpenCLI: Turn Websites into a CLI for Agents

  Skip the scraper and the browser-clicking model. OpenCLI turns websites and logged-in sessions into deterministic commands.

  Connect DeepSeek, Copilot, and Codex to Zotero so summaries and notes are grounded in your actual library.
