4,562
Stars total / TypeScript
1,582 stars this week

A first test

Read one plugin manifest and install it in a test project. Run its smallest command, inspect file and network access, and keep only the pieces that match your workflow.

02
Open Source

cordis

cordiverse/cordis

A TypeScript meta-framework described by its maintainers as a framework for spatiotemporal composability.

7,066
Stars total / TypeScript
3,614 stars this week

A first test

Read the core concepts and run the smallest documented example. Use it only if the composition model is clearer than a normal framework for the workflow you are testing.

03
Infrastructure

OpenViking

volcengine/OpenViking

A Python context database for AI agents that combines agent memory, knowledge RAG, and skills in one storage layer.

31,918
Stars total / Python
3,033 stars this week

A first test

Run the smallest local example with one public document and one saved memory. Check what is indexed, how retrieval is scored, and how records are deleted before adding private material.

04
Open Source

omarchy

basecamp/omarchy

A Shell-based Linux setup from Basecamp that packages an opinionated desktop environment and development workstation configuration.

28,009
Stars total / Shell
2,565 stars this week

A first test

Install it only in a VM or spare machine first. Record which packages, dotfiles, and services it changes before using the setup on a daily workstation.

05
Open Source

modular

modular/modular

The public repository for the Modular Platform, including MAX and the Mojo programming language.

28,785
Stars total / Mojo
1,643 stars this week

A first test

Run one Mojo or MAX example from the repository and compare the setup with your current Python path. Keep notes on install size, hardware assumptions, and rollback steps.

06
Creative Systems

MoneyPrinterTurbo

harry0703/MoneyPrinterTurbo

A Chinese and English tool that turns a topic or keyword into a short video with a script, images, subtitles, music, and generated voice.

114,471

Open Source

OpenLogi

AprilNEA/OpenLogi

A Rust local-first alternative to Logitech Options+ for remapping buttons, DPI, and SmartShift over HID++ without an account or telemetry.

13,531
Stars total / Rust
4,054 stars this week

A first test

Test it with one supported mouse on a non-critical profile. Export or note the original device settings first, then verify each remap before using it during client work.

08
Open Source

public-apis

public-apis/public-apis

A curated list of free public APIs, organized by category, with links and usage notes maintained in a GitHub repository.

468,399
Stars total / Python
10,990 stars this week

A first test

Pick one API for a test integration and verify its current docs, auth rules, rate limits, and license from the source site before using it in a proposal or demo.

09
Creative Systems

diagram-design

cathrynlavery/diagram-design

A skill for Claude Code, Codex, and Pi that creates 27 diagram types as static HTML and SVG. Use it for architecture, flows, data models, and timelines; it can also redraw Mermaid or draw.io sources.

25,318
Stars total / HTML
8,457 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.

10
Agent Ops

ai-memory

akitaonrails/ai-memory

A Rust project for long-term memory in agent coding CLIs and for handing context between different agent vendors.

4,029
Stars total / Rust
2,404 stars this week

A first test

Use it in a disposable repository with one remembered project rule. Start a second agent session and confirm exactly what context is retrieved before storing client-specific notes.

11
Infrastructure

omlx

jundot/omlx

A Python LLM inference server for Apple Silicon with continuous batching, SSD caching, and macOS menu bar management.

20,303
Stars total / Python
1,536 stars this week

A first test

Run one small model locally and send a short inference request. Measure latency, memory use, cache location, and shutdown behavior before routing agent traffic through it.

12
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.

2,755 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.
