Two new short docs unblock new contributors who currently have to read
the Go source to figure out the GITHUB_TOKEN requirement and the
agents.yml schema:
- docs/LOCAL_DEV.md walks through the PAT setup, the local run command,
what files the run modifies, and how to revert before opening a PR.
- docs/CONTRIBUTING.md documents the agents.yml fields, enumerates the
six valid category values, and explains the rename and deprecation
policy now that history is keyed canonically.
Also add a one-sentence caption under the table in readme.tmpl so the
Delta7d column has a definition in the rendered README.
The blanket git pull --rebase -X theirs in the push-retry loop silently
discarded conflicting changes in any file, so a maintainer push to
data/agents.yml racing with the daily run could be dropped without
warning. Replace it with a selective resolver: plain rebase first, then
inspect git diff --name-only --diff-filter=U; if every conflicting path
is data/history.jsonl or README.md (both bot-generated), resolve those
with --theirs and continue; otherwise abort the rebase and fail the run
loudly so the human edit is preserved and visible.
Also leave a comment at the permissions block warning future maintainers
not to swap GITHUB_TOKEN for a PAT, since the no-recursion invariant is
what currently prevents the auto-commit from triggering its own workflow.
GitHub fetcher (github.go):
- add 30s HTTP client timeout (was http.DefaultClient with no bound)
- chunk GraphQL alias requests at 50 repos to stay clear of abuse detection
- abort the run on any partial GraphQL error or missing repo rather than
silently shrinking the README and poisoning the next delta
- retry transient failures (network, 5xx, 429) with 2s/4s/8s backoff
History layer (history.go):
- key snapshots by canonical owner/repo from agents.yml instead of the
rename-resolved NameWithOwner returned by the API; carry a lazy
migration map so existing aaif-goose/goose entries fold into block/goose
on next read with no manual data edit
- tighten the 7d delta window to (cutoff-3d, cutoff] so a missed cron week
no longer mislabels a 90d-old comparison as Delta7d
- replace the snapshots[:0] aliased filter loop with slices.DeleteFunc
- log malformed JSONL lines to stderr with line numbers instead of
silently skipping them
- write history.jsonl atomically via tmp file + rename so a crash
mid-write can no longer truncate accumulated history
Plus collapse a few redundant fmt.Errorf wraps, drop a named Config type
that was used once, inline the single-call sortByStars helper with a
deterministic tiebreaker on canonical key, and use filepath.Base instead
of hand-rolling a basename.
Includes unit tests covering the 7d window edges, canonical-key
migration, atomic write path, malformed-line tolerance, YAML validation,
and markdown cell escaping.
Go updater that fetches AI agent coding tool repo stats via GitHub GraphQL
(batched, one query), sorts by star count, appends a daily snapshot to
data/history.jsonl, and regenerates README.md from templates/readme.tmpl.
Daily workflow at .github/workflows/update.yml refreshes rankings and
commits changes. Seed list in data/agents.yml covers 19 tracked repos.
