18,186
Stars total / HTML
13,556 stars this week

A first test

Install the skill, then give it one client process, such as a booking flow. Ask for an architecture or swimlane diagram, open the HTML, and remove any node that does not help the reader.

02
Open Source

semantica

semantica-agi/semantica

A Python library for storing entities, relationships, decisions, rules, and source links in a knowledge graph. It can trace decisions, flag conflicts, and export an audit trail.

7,818
Stars total / Python
5,135 stars this week

A first test

Install it with pip install semantica. Record one vendor choice with its reason and source, then call trace_decision_chain() and check_decision_rules() before using it in a report.

03
Agent Ops

prime-agent

PrimeIntellect-ai/prime-agent

A coding and research agent for long tasks. It keeps a Python session, subagents, goals, schedules, and reusable skills so work can resume after a terminal disconnects.

16,169
Stars total / TypeScript
10,739 stars this week

A first test

Start it inside a disposable clone and give it one bounded task, such as a pull-request review. Check prime-agent status, agents, and attach before accepting changes in the real project.

04
Open Source

holehe

megadose/holehe

A Python CLI that checks whether an email address is linked to accounts on more than 120 services by reading registration or password-recovery responses.

13,015
Stars total / Python
671 stars this week

A first test

Install it with pip3 install holehe and test an address that you own or have permission to check. Treat a positive result as a lead, not proof of account ownership, and note rate limits.

05
Infrastructure

Switchyard

NVIDIA-NeMo/Switchyard

A pre-alpha Rust proxy and library for LLM traffic. It translates OpenAI and Anthropic formats, routes requests to configured backends, and records request and latency metrics.

1,538
Stars total / Rust
1,195 stars this week

A first test

Install the CLI, create one route, and run switchyard-server with --dry-run. Bind it to 127.0.0.1, call /health, and inspect the backend and metrics for one test request.

06
Code Intelligence

code-graph-rag

vitali87/code-graph-rag

A CLI that parses a multi-language repository with Tree-sitter and stores its code structure in Memgraph for symbol queries, caller searches, dead-code checks, and edit previews.

4,345
Stars total / Python
1,718 stars this week

A first test

Index a disposable clone with cgr daemon up and cgr start --repo-path /path/to/repo --update-graph. Ask one function question and inspect the source and graph path before allowing an edit.

07
Open Source

needle

cactus-compute/needle

A 45-million-parameter local model for tool calling and structured extraction. It is distributed in a small file, returns schema-constrained JSON, and supports confidence thresholds.

5,909
Stars total / Python
1,929 stars this week

A first test

Install cactus-needle, define one typed Python tool, and call agent.run() with an invoice example. Accept a device action only above a confidence threshold that you set and test.

08
Agent Ops

macro

macro-inc/macro

An open-source workspace that links email, messages, documents, tasks, calls, agents, and CRM records. Its @links create bidirectional connections between related work.

3,211
Stars total / Rust
2,159 stars this week

A first test

Start with one support email. Turn it into a task, link the task to the discussion, and open the original email from the task to verify that the context stays connected.

09
Agent Ops

ToolJet

ToolJet/ToolJet

A visual builder for internal apps with tables, forms, charts, JavaScript, Python, and connections to databases, APIs, SaaS tools, and object storage.

39,357
Stars total / JavaScript
543 stars this week

A first test

Run the Docker quickstart with test data and build a small order dashboard. Check the data source, access rules, empty state, and error state before using real records.

10
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.

21,885
Stars total / TypeScript
4,423 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.

11
Agent Ops

agent-skills

addyosmani/agent-skills

A pack of 24 workflow skills for definition, planning, implementation, testing, review, performance, simplification, and release work in coding agents.

87,418
Stars total / JavaScript
3,845 stars this week

A first test

Install the pack with npx skills add addyosmani/agent-skills. In one real repo, run /spec, /plan, and /test on a small change, then keep it if the outputs provide useful evidence.

12
Creative Systems
