HowToLiveBetter leads, OpenShell jumps to two, and five newcomers fill the middle of the chart

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.

   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.

   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.

   Louis-CFM/coucou : A tiny friend in your notch that watches Claude Code and taps you when it needs you

   Swift

   A small open-source companion that lives in your Mac notch or at the top of a Windows screen and keeps an eye on every Claude Code session. Its animated character shows what each session reads, edits and runs, lets you approve or deny permission requests with one click, accepts dropped files, opens a chat with Claude, and reacts the moment a run finishes.

   feder-cr/dots : A real browser built for AI agents, patched at the engine so sites cannot flag it

   Python

   An open-source web agent where the browser is the product: a Firefox engine patched in C++ sets the fingerprint inside the engine, one seed reproduces the same identity across screen, fonts, GPU and timezone, and no WebDriver flag exists for a page to find. The pointer travels and keys press one at a time, profiles keep logins, and any OpenRouter model drives it with one flag.

   Niko1221/Strata : A 125B-parameter model running on one gaming GPU, faster than you can read

   C++

   A one-click installer that runs Qwen3.8-Flash-Next, a 125-billion-parameter model that normally needs a server, on a single NVIDIA card with 12 to 24 GB of VRAM and 64 GB of RAM. It serves an OpenAI-compatible API on localhost, reports 60 to 95 tokens per second in its own measurements, accepts image input, and calibrates the engine to your PC.

7. 7

   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.

   DietrichGebert/ponytail : Stop your AI turning a small fix into a new framework

   JavaScript

   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.

   +1,109
9. 9

   ifixai-ai/iFixAi : An auditor that checks whether your AI agent actually does the job it was hired for

   Python

   An independent auditing tool for AI agents that grades whether an agent does the job it was hired for, not just whether it is fast or hard to hack. Guided setup picks the provider, judge and test suite, then about 60 inspections across five pillars return an A to F scorecard. Run it as a CLI wizard, as scripted flags in CI, or as a plugin that lets the agent audit itself.

    rehan-remade/universal-modder : Skills that turn Claude Code into a modding studio for almost any PC game you own

    Python

    Agent skills, tools and an MCP server that let Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or Gemini CLI mod almost any PC game you own. The agent reconnoiters the game, picks an engine playbook from twelve routes, reads the real code, builds one working slice, generates sprites, 3D and sound through the fal API, tests the mod in the running game, and leaves a note for the next agent.
