The list was already drifting past "coding agents" — ADEs were admitted in the previous commit. Rather than keep widening criterion 1 one category at a time, it now describes the actual subject: developer tools built around AI. The dividing line becomes tools you use vs. building blocks you import, which keeps libraries, SDKs, model weights and skill collections out. The star floor drops from a soft "roughly 10,000+" to a hard 1,000: - enforceStarFloor drops any below-floor entry from the ranking and emits an ::error:: annotation, so the published list can never violate the rule. Dropping rather than failing keeps one bad entry from blocking the refresh of every other repo. - -check cannot catch this (star counts need the API, -check runs offline); docs/CONTRIBUTING.md says so explicitly. Side effect: Orkas (1,998 stars) now clears the floor it previously missed. go run . -check: 43 agents valid. go test ./...: ok.

How it works
data/agents.ymlis the curated source list.- A daily GitHub Actions workflow (
.github/workflows/update.yml) runs the Go updater. - The updater fetches live repo metadata via the GitHub GraphQL API in one batched query.
- Star counts are appended to
data/history.jsonlfor 7-day delta computation. - This
README.mdis regenerated fromtemplates/readme.tmpland committed back to the repo. site/data.jsonis regenerated and the dashboard (site/index.html) is redeployed to GitHub Pages.
Δ7d: Change in stars over the past 7 days; — means fewer than 7 days of history.
Contributing
Inclusion criteria — a repo belongs on this list when it is:
- A developer tool built around AI — something a developer uses to build software, where an LLM is central to what it does. That covers agents that write, edit, or review code; agent development environments that run and coordinate them; and AI-assisted editors, terminals, and review tools. Libraries, SDKs, model weights, and prompt or skill collections are out of scope — this list ranks tools you use, not building blocks you import.
- At least 1,000 GitHub stars — a hard floor, enforced by the updater. An entry below it is dropped from the ranking automatically, so the threshold is never waived for an individual entry.
- Open source and actively maintained — no push in 6 months means the entry is dropped. The daily run flags anything past 3 months for review, so the ranking reflects tools people can actually use today.
Archived or abandoned repos are kept only when they are historically significant, and are marked as such in data/agents.yml.
Add an agent to data/agents.yml:
agents:
- owner: github-username-or-org
repo: repository-name
tags: [terminal, byo-model, interactive, community]
Tags describe a tool across five facets — the dashboard filters on them, OR within a facet and AND across facets:
| Facet | Tags |
|---|---|
| Surface (at least one) | terminal · editor-plugin · ide · desktop · web · self-hosted |
| Model access | byo-model · single-vendor · local-models |
| Workflow | interactive · autonomous · review · app-builder · research · orchestration |
| Integration | mcp · acp · headless |
| Origin (at most one) | vendor · community |
Apply a tag only when the repo's own README, docs, or topics back it up. See docs/CONTRIBUTING.md for what each tag means.
Open a PR. The next daily run picks it up automatically.
PRs are validated automatically by CI (go run . -check): owner/repo must be non-empty and look like a real GitHub slug, every tag must come from the vocabulary above with at least one surface tag and at most one origin tag, and duplicates (case-insensitive) are rejected.
