A skill router for authorised reverse engineering and penetration testing that selects tools, bootstraps them when needed, and stores reusable research notes.

20,983
Stars total / PowerShell
10,400 stars this week

A first test

Run it only against a local lab target. Check the selected tool and command before execution, save the evidence, and remove any tool that has a broader scope than the test needs.

02
Infrastructure

TencentDB-Agent-Memory

TencentCloud/TencentDB-Agent-Memory

A self-hosted memory server for agent teams. It turns conversations, documents, and code into Chat Memory, Skills, Wiki, and CodeGraph assets that can be shared by client tools.

18,044
Stars total / TypeScript
7,501 stars this week

A first test

Copy .env.example to .env, run ./start-all.sh, and open localhost:8125. Import one runbook and one codebase, then give a reviewer only the assets it needs.

03
Open Source

airllm

lyogavin/airllm

A Python inference library that streams large language model layers so models such as 70B can run with less GPU memory than full-model loading.

30,075
Stars total / Jupyter Notebook
5,521 stars this week

A first test

Install it and run the smallest documented model example on a test prompt. Measure RAM, VRAM, speed, and model downloads before using it on a constrained machine.

04
Open Source

AI-For-Beginners

microsoft/AI-For-Beginners

A twelve-week, 24-lesson curriculum that teaches core AI concepts with notebooks, explanations, and practical exercises for beginners.

63,470
Stars total / Jupyter Notebook
8,224 stars this week

A first test

Choose one lesson, create its environment, and run its notebook from start to finish. Change one input and explain the output before continuing to the next lesson.

05
Infrastructure

DeepSeek-Reasonix

esengine/DeepSeek-Reasonix

A terminal coding agent built around DeepSeek models, with a persistent session, prefix-cache handling, extensions, and ACP support.

33,041
Stars total / Go
4,739 stars this week

A first test

Install the CLI and run one read-only task in a disposable repository. Check model configuration, cached files, shell commands, and cancellation before leaving it running.

06
Open Source

kaneo

usekaneo/kaneo

A self-hosted, open-source project-management application with a focused interface for projects, tasks, and team work.

7,685
Stars total / TypeScript
2,925 stars this week

A first test

Start the documented instance and create one test project with two tasks. Check roles, notifications, export, and backup before importing a real project.

07
Agent Ops

book-to-skill

virgiliojr94/book-to-skill

A tool that turns a technical book PDF into a Claude Code skill for study, reference, and task support.

18,708
Stars total / Python
3,957 stars this week

A first test

Use a public-domain or permitted PDF and generate one small skill. Check every instruction against the page number it came from before installing it in an agent.

08
Open Source

invidious

iv-org/invidious

An open-source alternative front end for YouTube that provides a different interface and instance-based deployment model.

22,453
Stars total / Crystal
1,225 stars this week

A first test

Run a permitted local instance and open one public video. Check playback, search, subscriptions, and instance configuration before relying on a public instance for private use.

09
Agent Ops

openwork

different-ai/openwork

An open-source desktop workspace for sharing AI workflows, skills, MCP connections, and connected services across compatible agents and team members.

21,538
Stars total / TypeScript
2,367 stars this week

A first test

Install it with a test workspace and connect one non-sensitive capability. Use search_capabilities and execute_capability on a harmless action, then review access and sign-in scope.

10

swarm-forge

unclebob/swarm-forge

A tmux and Git worktree system for coordinating several coding agents with role prompts, branch-specific configurations, and message passing.

1,954
Stars total / Clojure
273 stars this week
