HowToLiveBetter tops the refreshed chart, Brigade hosts a whole agent crew, NVIDIA puts agents in kernel sandboxes

Fastest-growing this period

Counts come from GitHub's official stargazers/history endpoint: the stars gained on each day of the window. Project briefs and the reading notes below are editorial additions.

1. 1

   eternity4719/HowToLiveBetter : Life advice that logs what you spend, what you gain and how solid the evidence is

   HTML

   A Chinese guide of practical suggestions on health, money, scams and legal traps, from chronic disease and first aid to rent disputes and workplace compensation. Each entry records what you spend, what you get back and how strong the evidence is, citing only journal papers and official documents, with an online search page for quick lookups.

   debpalash/VoiceStudio : Try voice design, transcription and dubbing in one workspace

   Python

   A local audio workspace for voice design, transcription, dubbing and longer narrated projects. Useful for trying several speech workflows with your own material in one application, with engine choice and hardware determining the supported languages and output quality.

   spinabot/brigade : Run a whole crew of agents on your own machine

   TypeScript

   A self-hosted crew of AI agents organized on a real org chart, sharing one long-term memory and over 1,000 app connectors. Your API keys stay on your own machine, nothing is sent to a middleman, and you can sign in with a Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot subscription instead of juggling tokens.

   KKKKhazix/AIHOT : Turn any industry news feed into your own daily digest site

   TypeScript

   A self-hosted framework that collects from RSS feeds, web pages, JSON endpoints, X accounts and WeChat, screens items with a model and scores each twice against published prompts, clusters reports about the same event, and ships daily, weekly and monthly digests. Swap in your own sources and thresholds to launch a hotspot site for your industry.

   vectorize-io/hindsight : Agent memory with three operations: retain, recall, and reflect to keep learning

   Python

   An agent memory system organized around three operations: retain observations, recall them when needed, and reflect to keep what an agent knows up to date. Memory banks and mental models structure the knowledge, it runs as a Docker, pip or embedded Python service against 25+ LLM providers, and an MCP server plus a two-line LLM wrapper connect it to coding agents.

   deepseek-ai/deepseek-harness : Explore DeepSeek's building blocks for an extensible agent

   TypeScript

   DeepSeek's agent runtime built around replaceable plugins, with a web interface for running it. Useful for developers exploring how to compose an agent's capabilities; it is a developer preview, so expect interfaces to change as you experiment.

7. 7

   yetone/magpie : Switch every coding agent's model from one menu bar picker

   Go

   A menu bar panel that lists each AI agent on your machine, from Claude Code to Codex, together with the model it is set to; click a value and pick another. It edits config files surgically, keeping comments and formatting intact, and runs a local gateway so every agent can share one provider login, including your Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot subscription.

   paperclipai/paperclip : Run a company of AI agents with org charts, tickets and per-agent budgets

   TypeScript

   An open-source control plane for running AI agents like a company. Tasks turn into tickets with approval and review gates you verify from diffs, screenshots and tests; an org chart gives every agent a role, a boss and scoped secrets; heartbeats wake agents on a schedule; and a monthly budget per agent stops runaway token spend. Any runtime that answers a heartbeat plugs in.

   NVIDIA/OpenShell : Run autonomous agents inside kernel-enforced sandboxes

   Rust

   NVIDIA's runtime for fleets of autonomous agents. Declare in a policy what each agent may touch, and OpenShell enforces it in the kernel on every file access, system call and network connection, adding credentials only to requests bound for approved endpoints. Each policy change is formally verified before it takes effect, so newly granted risky access waits for human review.

    ntfargo/Relapse-Exploit : A browser-based jailbreak chain for PS5 firmware 7.00 to 13.60

    JavaScript

    A PS5 exploit chain for firmware 7.00 through 13.60, entered from the console browser: a WebKit stage built on JSC info leaks corrupts a typed array, then a kernel stage races an aio_multi_wait use-after-free to reach kernel read and write. Ships with a local server script and a hosted page; the authors label it for security research on hardware you own.
