2,683
Stars total / Python
2,207 stars this week

A first test

Add the marketplace to Claude Code and install one plugin by name. Read that plugin's files and permissions, run one harmless command, and remove it if its access is broader than the task needs.

02
Agent Ops

awesome-gpt-image-2

freestylefly/awesome-gpt-image-2

A prompt-as-code library for GPT-Image-2 with a categorized case gallery, reusable prompt templates, and an agent skill for image-generation workflows.

24,879
Stars total / JavaScript
12,877 stars this week

A first test

Choose one case from the gallery and copy its full prompt into a test generation. Change one structured field, compare both images, and record which layout or style detail changed.

03
Open Source

omarchy

omacom/omarchy

An opinionated Linux distribution by DHH with a documented desktop setup, applications, development tools, hotkeys, themes, configuration, snapshots, and security guidance.

34,383
Stars total / Shell
5,942 stars this week

A first test

Read the Getting Started, hardware, and security sections before installing it on a spare supported machine. Test updates, snapshots, networking, and one development tool before moving real work onto it.

04
Agent Ops

codex

openai/codex

A terminal coding agent that reads a repository, edits files, runs commands, and reports the resulting diff from a local session.

119,747
Stars total / Rust
9,109 stars this week

A first test

Install it and run one read-only task in a disposable clone. Review its plan, commands, tests, and diff before allowing it to write to a working project.

05
Agent Ops

archify

tt-a1i/archify

A Node.js rendering and validation system that compiles typed JSON architecture, workflow, sequence, data-flow, and lifecycle diagrams into self-contained HTML and SVG.

29,951
Stars total / JavaScript
11,099 stars this week

A first test

Try the skill without installing it and generate one workflow diagram from a small system description. Open the HTML, compare every node and route with the source, and run the documented validator.

06
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.

17,556
Stars total / Rust
4,825 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.

07
Agent Ops

maka

apache/maka

A local-first AI agent workspace that records model messages, tool calls, tool results, permission decisions, and termination events in an append-only session log.

3,996
Stars total / TypeScript
1,918 stars this week

A first test

On a supported Apple Silicon Mac, build it from source with npm ci and npm run dev. Run one read-only repository task, then inspect the tool timeline, permission decisions, and saved session record.

08
Infrastructure

freellmapi

tashfeenahmed/freellmapi

A self-hosted router that exposes OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and optional Ollama-compatible APIs across free-model providers, with routing, failover, encrypted keys, and a local dashboard.

22,044
Stars total / TypeScript
2,162 stars this week

A first test

Read the install script before running it, then start a local Docker instance with one test provider key. Send one request and verify the selected model, fallback behavior, key storage, logs, and data directory.

09
Open Source

modular

modular/modular

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

29,326
Stars total / Mojo
875 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.

cursor/plugins

Cursor's plugin specification and a set of official plugins that package skills, commands, agents, and integrations for the Cursor editor.

6,101
Stars total / TypeScript
1,594 stars this week
