TL;DR
AI agent tooling dominates today's chart yet again — skills frameworks, agent memory systems, and multi-agent harnesses fill six of the top ten slots. Shell and Rust both had strong showings, and two long-established mega-repos (Anthropic-adjacent "skills"/"superpowers" projects with 200k+ stars) kept climbing even at that scale. A local-first Rust hardware utility and an AI video generator round out the more unusual entries.
Top 10
1. modular/modular (+340 stars today)
The Modular Platform, including MAX and the Mojo language — infrastructure for building and running AI models.
2. mattpocock/skills (+2,267 stars today)
A large, popular collection of reusable "skills" for coding agents, shared directly from the author's own .agents directory.
3. AprilNEA/OpenLogi (+1,540 stars today)
A native, local-first alternative to Logitech Options+ written in Rust, remapping mouse buttons, DPI, and SmartShift over HID++ with no account or telemetry required.
4. obra/superpowers (+749 stars today)

7. akitaonrails/ai-memory (+335 stars today)
A long-term memory solution for agent coding CLIs, aimed at making handoff between different AI agent vendors easier.
8. harry0703/MoneyPrinterTurbo (+2,774 stars today)
An automated AI workflow that generates HD short videos from just a topic or keyword.
9. agent-substrate/substrate (+66 stars today)
