01
Creative Systems

Alishahryar1/free-claude-code

A launcher for terminal, desktop, IDE, and Discord workflows with Claude Code, Codex, Pi, OpenCode, and local model providers. It includes server and client commands for connecting those tools.

18,260
Stars total / Python
15,110 stars this week

A first test

Install it in a test account and run fcc-server with one provider. Use fcc-claude on a read-only repository, then check the provider, token path, and command log before using a paid account.

02
Open Source

ml-intern

huggingface/ml-intern

An ML engineering agent that researches papers, writes code, and works with Hugging Face models, datasets, documentation, and compute. It can run interactively or from one headless prompt.

7,368
Stars total / Python
6,441 stars this week

A first test

Clone it, run uv sync, and start with a local or sandboxed prompt such as inspect one dataset. Set only the tokens it needs and review every generated training or Hub action.

03
Agent Ops

skills

mattpocock/skills

A collection of small engineering skills for planning, implementation, testing, review, simplification, and release work. The files are editable and can be installed as a managed Claude Code plugin.

42,182
Stars total / Shell
18,218 stars this week

A first test

Install one skill set, not both installation methods. Run its planning and testing commands on a small change, then keep only the files that improve your actual review evidence.

04
Open Source

hackingtool

Z4nzu/hackingtool

A menu of more than 200 security tools across recon, OSINT, web, wireless, forensics, and post-exploitation categories, with an AI layer that suggests commands.

68,393
Stars total / Python
9,252 stars this week

A first test

Use it only on systems that you own or are authorised to test. Pick one local lab target, run one tool manually first, and save the command and permission record with the result.

05
Agent Ops

andrej-karpathy-skills

multica-ai/andrej-karpathy-skills

A single CLAUDE.md file that turns four coding rules into agent instructions: think before coding, keep the design simple, make small changes, and work toward a clear goal.

98,790
Stars total / None
25,836 stars this week

A first test

Copy the file into a disposable project and give the agent one small bug. Check whether it asks for the goal first and changes only the files that the fix needs.

06
Agent Ops

claude-context

zilliztech/claude-context

An MCP plugin that uses semantic search to find relevant code across a large repository and provide that context to Claude Code or another coding agent.

10,226
Stars total / TypeScript
3,767 stars this week

A first test

Install the Node 20+ package in a disposable clone and index it. Ask for one symbol's callers, compare the result with rg, and allow write tools only after the search is accurate.

07
Creative Systems

FinceptTerminal

Fincept-Corporation/FinceptTerminal

An AGPL desktop finance application with market analytics, investment research, and economic data tools. The public repository is the free edition for learning and academic use.

17,652
Stars total / C++
5,926 stars this week

A first test

Build the free edition and load a small set of historical data. Check the data source and date for every chart; do not use the output as a trading instruction without independent review.

08
Open Source

ds2api

CJackHwang/ds2api

A Go middleware service that converts a DeepSeek web conversation interface into OpenAI, Claude, and Gemini-compatible API formats, with a React administration interface.

2,609
Stars total / Go
997 stars this week

A first test

Run it locally with the documented Docker or Go path and send one test request. Inspect the request translation and terms of service before connecting a real account or client traffic.

09
Creative Systems

Pixelle-Video

ATH-MaaS/Pixelle-Video

A web-based short-video pipeline that turns a topic into a script, images or video, voice narration, music, subtitles, and a final composition.

7,624
Stars total / Python
2,330 stars this week

A first test

Use a non-client topic and one short output. Check the generated script, media licenses, voice, and subtitle timing before you reuse any asset in a public campaign.

10
Creative Systems

Open-Generative-AI

Anil-matcha/Open-Generative-AI

A self-hosted image and video generation studio that connects to many model providers through a web interface. It is released under the MIT license and supports configurable model access.

10,015
Stars total / JavaScript
4,071 stars this week

A first test

Run it with a local test configuration and generate one image from a prompt you wrote. Record the provider, model, input, and output license before using the result commercially.

11
Security

cua

trycua/cua

Infrastructure, SDKs, and benchmarks for computer-use agents that control full macOS, Linux, and Windows desktops in sandboxes.

15,155
Stars total / HTML
1,336 stars this week

A first test

Start one sandbox and run the smallest desktop benchmark. Measure startup, screen access, file access, and cleanup, then keep the agent on a test account until those boundaries are clear.

12
Agent Ops

GenericAgent

lsdefine/GenericAgent

A small self-evolving agent with browser, terminal, file, keyboard, screen, and Android tools. It includes both a terminal interface and a web interface for testing those actions.

8,171
Stars total / Python
2,620 stars this week

A first test

Create a uv environment and run the TUI against a throwaway folder. Ask it to list and edit one test file, then inspect every command before you allow a wider tool scope.
