Hottest Repos

  • CloakHQ/CloakBrowser — 9,349 stars (+1,829 today). Day 6: stealth browser about to break 10K. From 3.9K on May 9 to 9.3K today — nearly tripled in under a week. Source-level C++ Chromium patches, 0.9 reCAPTCHA v3 scores, drop-in Playwright replacement. The fastest-accelerating repo on the board right now, and it's not even AI. https://github.com/CloakHQ/CloakBrowser

  • tinyhumansai/openhuman — 5,090 stars (+1,595 today). Day 3: doubled since Sunday. From 2.5K to 5K in 48 hours. The "personal AI super intelligence" with 118+ OAuth integrations, Memory Tree, Obsidian-compatible wiki, desktop mascot that joins your Google Meets, and TokenJuice compression (80% cost reduction). Written in Rust. The vision is wildly ambitious for an early beta. https://github.com/tinyhumansai/openhuman

  • mattpocock/skills — 78,711 stars (+3,372 today). Another 3K+ day — approaching 80K. The .claude directory skills collection gained 15K this week. At this rate it crosses 100K before June. The "skills as infrastructure" thesis is now just "infrastructure." https://github.com/mattpocock/skills

  • obra/superpowers — 189,367 stars (+1,506 today). The 189K-star elephant in the room. Jesse Vincent's agentic skills framework and software development methodology quietly holds the crown as the largest repo in this category. 16.8K forks. Still gaining 1,500/day. https://github.com/obra/superpowers

  • rohitg00/agentmemory — 7,395 stars (+1,335 today). Four-day surge: 3.4K → 7.4K. Persistent memory for coding agents — background capture, auto-consolidation, context injection. Gained 3K this week. The "agents need memory" category is one of the clearest winners of May. https://github.com/rohitg00/agentmemory

AI & ML

  • NousResearch/hermes-agent — 148,494 stars (+1,902 today). Third straight day above 1,500. The self-improving agent with 200+ model support and cross-platform gateway continues its re-acceleration. Up 6K from Sunday. At 148K it's quietly becoming one of the largest open-source agent projects ever. https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent

  • github/spec-kit — 98,221 stars (+1,159 today). GitHub's own spec-driven development toolkit. Flips the script: specifications become executable, directly generating implementations. The specify CLI turns specs into working code. 8.5K forks, 406 open issues. At 98K stars, GitHub is eating its own dogfood and the community is buying in. https://github.com/github/spec-kit

  • supertone-inc/supertonic — 4,199 stars (+1,048 today). New: on-device TTS just went viral. Supertonic v3 launched April 29 with 31-language support. Lightning-fast via ONNX Runtime — no cloud, no API calls, no privacy concerns. SDKs for Python, Swift, Go, Java, Rust, C#, and web. Voice Builder lets you turn your voice into a deployable TTS with permanent ownership. The edge-AI audio category just got serious. https://github.com/supertone-inc/supertonic

  • TauricResearch/TradingAgents — 74,339 stars (+7,259 this week). Fourteenth consecutive week of massive growth. The finance-AI gravity well is permanent infrastructure at this point. AI-Trader (17K) continues alongside it. https://github.com/TauricResearch/TradingAgents

  • ruvnet/ruflo — 50,252 stars (+7,088 this week). Agent orchestration platform crosses 50K. Multi-agent swarms, autonomous workflows, RAG integration, native Claude Code/Codex integration. 545 open issues signal explosive adoption. The "orchestrate your agents" layer is growing fast. https://github.com/ruvnet/ruflo

Developer Tools

  • garrytan/gstack — 95,640 stars (+1,084 today). Y Combinator's president ships his Claude setup. 23 opinionated tools serving as CEO, Designer, Eng Manager, Release Manager, Doc Engineer, and QA. 14.2K forks. The "celebrity skills pack" phenomenon continues — personal brand × agent config = viral distribution. https://github.com/garrytan/gstack

  • danielmiessler/Personal_AI_Infrastructure — 13,284 stars (+439 today). "Life Operating System" hits v5.0. Daniel Miessler (fabric creator) shipped PAI with the Pulse daemon (dashboard at localhost:31337), DA identity layer, Algorithm v6.3.0, 45 skills, 171 workflows, 37 hooks. One-line install. The most opinionated "personal AI stack" on GitHub. https://github.com/danielmiessler/Personal_AI_Infrastructure

  • millionco/react-doctor — 9,215 stars (+620 today). Day 3 above 500. "Your agent writes bad React. This catches it." One-command health scanner with a 0-100 score. Crossed 9K. The agent code quality niche is real. https://github.com/millionco/react-doctor

  • thesysdev/openui — 5,319 stars (+506 today). Generative UI gets an open standard. OpenUI Lang is a streaming-first language for model-generated UI — 67% more token-efficient than JSON. React runtime, built-in component libraries, progressive rendering as tokens arrive. If agents are going to generate UIs, they need a format. https://github.com/thesysdev/openui

Hidden Gems

  • ErlichLiu/Proma — 811 stars. Claude Agent SDK meets Feishu. Proactive agent built on Claude Agent SDK with native Feishu (Lark) group chat integration. Flexible model provider switching. The "bring top-tier agents into the tools you already use" play, aimed squarely at the Chinese enterprise market. https://github.com/ErlichLiu/Proma

  • Greedeks/GTweak — 873 stars (+127 today). Portable Windows optimizer. Debloat, disable telemetry, registry tweaks, service management — all in a single portable C# tool. BSD-3 licensed, zero install. The kind of unsexy-but-genuinely-useful tool that quietly accumulates loyal users. https://github.com/Greedeks/GTweak

  • NVIDIA/OpenShell — 5,892 stars. NVIDIA's safe runtime for autonomous agents. Rust-based sandboxed execution environment for AI agents. Apache 2.0 licensed. Only 3 months old, already at 5.9K stars. When NVIDIA ships agent infrastructure, the market notices. https://github.com/NVIDIA/OpenShell

Notable Trends

  • The Skills Wars are over — everyone won. The top 5 "agent skills/config" repos now total 500K+ stars (superpowers 189K, anthropics/skills 133K, gstack 95K, mattpocock/skills 78K, addyosmani/agent-skills 40K). Agent configuration is no longer a category — it's table stakes. The next battle is orchestration and memory.

  • "Personal AI" is the new "personal computer." OpenHuman (5K, doubling every 2 days), Personal_AI_Infrastructure (13K, "Life Operating System"), agentmemory (7.4K) — the thesis that everyone needs a private, persistent AI that learns them specifically is gaining real momentum. The common thread: local-first, memory-heavy, integration-rich.
