How this ranking is computed
Every Monday we take the seven days just ended and rank the AI projects in our GitHub directory by the stars they added inside that window, read off daily snapshots rather than a live counter. A second board ranks growth against a project’s own size, so a small project doubling is not buried under a large one adding more. The ranking is computed; only the reading of it is written.
Every issue
- Week 37 · Aug 31–Sep 7, 2026Four Projects Have Made All Three Issues, and No Two Move Alike
Ponytail has gained faster in each issue, DeepSeek Harness less in each, and Orca has held the same pace — while Skills swings up and down with no direction yet.
- Week 36 · Aug 24–31, 2026Archify More Than Doubled and Took First from DeepSeek Harness
Archify doubled in a week to take first place from DeepSeek Harness, whose rate more than halved. Beneath them, the rules-for-agents pattern split into projects that forbid and projects that instruct.
- Week 35 · Aug 17–24, 2026Agent Harnesses and Constraints Took Five of the Top Ten
DeepSeek Harness leads a surge in agent infrastructure, while projects like Ponytail and Unlazy attempt to curb AI laziness and over-engineering.
