Issue 11
01
Security

strix

usestrix/strix

An AI-assisted penetration-testing tool that scans a local application, explains possible vulnerabilities, and helps investigate fixes.

35,687
Stars total / Python
7,567 stars this week

A first test

Run strix --target against a deliberately vulnerable local app. Reproduce one finding manually, record the request and fix, and use it only on systems you are authorised to test.

02
Agent Ops

ai-berkshire

xbtlin/ai-berkshire

A set of value-investing research skills for Claude and Codex that combines financial statements, valuation methods, and adversarial review into a report.

9,575
Stars total / Python
6,230 stars this week

A first test

Run one skill on a public annual report and keep the source pages with the output. Recalculate one key ratio yourself and treat the result as research, not a recommendation.

03
Creative Systems

simplex-chat

simplex-chat/simplex-chat

A private messaging system whose network avoids global user identifiers and provides mobile, desktop, and terminal clients.

17,806
Stars total / Haskell
5,971 stars this week

A first test

Install two test clients and send a message over a fresh connection. Check identity setup, backups, notifications, and metadata behavior before inviting a real contact.

04
Open Source

lingbot-map

Robbyant/lingbot-map

A 3D streaming-reconstruction model that builds a spatial map from visual input for research and interactive scene understanding.

9,692
Stars total / Python
2,171 stars this week

A first test

Create the documented environment and run the demo on a short local sequence. Compare the reconstructed points with the input frames before using it for measurement.

05
Infrastructure

OmniRoute

diegosouzapw/OmniRoute

A local AI gateway that exposes one endpoint for many model providers and translates requests for clients such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and Copilot.

11,170
Stars total / TypeScript
3,631 stars this week

A first test

Run it on the local port with one provider and one low-risk prompt. Inspect the selected model, request log, costs, and fallback behavior before adding credentials for other providers.

06
Infrastructure

codebase-memory-mcp

DeusData/codebase-memory-mcp

A local MCP server that builds code intelligence from Tree-sitter parsing and a graph, with a static binary and support for many programming languages.

25,961
Stars total / C
10,186 stars this week

A first test

Install the binary and index a small repository. Ask for a symbol definition and callers, compare both with the source, and check the MCP client permissions before enabling edits.

07
Agent Ops

herdr

ogulcancelik/herdr

A terminal agent multiplexer that runs several coding agents in parallel and provides a shared control surface for their sessions.

11,210
Stars total / Rust
3,024 stars this week

A first test

Run it in a disposable repository with two read-only tasks. Check each session's working directory and process before allowing one agent to edit or commit files.

08
Business Tools

logto

logto-io/logto

An open-source identity service with OIDC and OAuth 2.1, multi-tenancy, single sign-on, role-based access, and user management.

13,690
Stars total / TypeScript
1,368 stars this week

A first test

Start the Docker Compose example and create a test tenant and application. Verify login, token claims, redirect URLs, and role checks before connecting a production client.

09
Open Source

OpenSuperWhisper

Starmel/OpenSuperWhisper

A macOS dictation application that runs Whisper or Parakeet speech models locally and inserts the transcription into the active application.

1,683
Stars total / Swift
494 stars this week

A first test

Install it with brew install opensuperwhisper and download one local model. Dictate a short note, check punctuation and hotkeys, and confirm the audio stays local.

10
Creative Systems

video-use

browser-use/video-use

A coding-agent tool for editing video from a footage folder and a natural-language request, with a final video written to the project directory.

14,606
Stars total / Python
4,056 stars this week

A first test

Give it three short test clips and ask for one cut. Inspect the edit decision, timestamps, and final.mp4, then confirm that the source files were not overwritten.

11
Agent Ops

agency-agents

msitarzewski/agency-agents

A collection of specialised agent roles with defined responsibilities, processes, and deliverables for engineering, research, marketing, and operations work.

126,904
Stars total / Shell
10,483 stars this week

A first test

Choose one role and give it a bounded task with a required output format. Check its assumptions and sources, then combine it with a human review instead of treating the role description as expertise.

12
Creative Systems

OpenMontage

calesthio/OpenMontage

An agentic video-production system that coordinates media preparation, planning, editing, and rendering through a pipeline called Backlot.

32,924
Stars total / Python
9,213 stars this week

A first test

Run make setup and open one sample project with python -m backlot open. Use test footage, inspect each pipeline step, and verify the final render before adding client media.
