What to explore this day
-
ayghri/i-have-adhd: Stop your coding agent from burying the answer
Installs as a skill for Claude Code and similar assistants and changes how they reply: the answer comes first, multi-step tasks are numbered, and every reply ends with one concrete next step. Useful when long agent responses make you hunt for the actual fix; its rule file is plain text, so you can tune the behavior yourself.
-
bilawalsidhu/gods-eye-view: Follow flights and ships around an interactive 3D Earth
A browser-based 3D globe that combines public feeds such as aircraft, ships and earthquakes. Following an aircraft across the terrain is an engaging way to explore geographic data; its visual sensor effects should not be confused with actual sensor imagery.
-
cathrynlavery/diagram-design: Make your diagrams match the article around them
A coding-agent skill for turning an explanation or existing diagram source into HTML and SVG diagrams. It can incorporate a publication's colors and fonts, useful when a diagram needs to fit an article or presentation rather than look like a separate tool's default export.

What to explore this week
-
mattpocock/skills: Make your AI ask the right questions before it writes code
Give your coding assistant a skill that asks detailed questions before implementation. Use it to clarify vague requirements before the agent builds the wrong thing.
-
DietrichGebert/ponytail: Stop your AI turning a small fix into a new framework
A set of instructions that asks AI coding agents to reuse existing code and question whether a new abstraction is needed. Its rules also explicitly retain validation and error handling, useful when your agent keeps making a small task unnecessarily complicated.
-
tt-a1i/archify: Show your team exactly what changed in the architecture
Turns an agent's structured description of a system into interactive HTML and SVG architecture diagrams. It can compare diagram snapshots, useful for showing a team which components and connections changed between two versions of a design.

tw93/Pake: turn any website into a tiny Tauri desktop app with one command
Pake wraps any webpage into a lightweight Rust/Tauri desktop app, around 5MB and far smaller than Electron. Install, the GPL output exception, and where the webview approach stops.
-
Kilo-Org/kilocode: an open-source AI coding agent for VS Code, JetBrains, and the CLI
Kilo Code is an open-source AI coding agent across VS Code, JetBrains, and a CLI, with 500+ models and no-markup pricing. How its open-core model and autonomous mode compare to Cline and Continue.
-
DeusData/codebase-memory-mcp: a C MCP server that turns your repo into a queryable graph
codebase-memory-mcp is a single-binary MCP server that indexes any codebase into a knowledge graph for AI coding agents: 158 languages, sub-ms queries, no API key.
-
EpicGames/lore: Epic's open-source, content-addressed version control for big binary projects
Lore is Epic Games' open-source version control system in Rust: centralized, content-addressed, built for code plus terabytes of binary game assets. How it differs from Git and Perforce.
-
Omnigent is an open-source Python meta-harness: run and supervise Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Pi, and custom agents in one session, with governance policies, sandboxing, and cross-device collab.
-
google-research/timesfm: zero-shot time-series forecasting from a pretrained model
Google Research's TimesFM does zero-shot time-series forecasting from a pretrained model. What version 2.5 changed, the batch-composition gotcha, install, and how it compares to Chronos and TimeGPT.
