anthropics/claude-plugins-official: Official Anthropic Claude plugin repository. It was rank 3 on August 27 and holds rank 3. The listing is a recurring official catalog, not a one-day viral gist.

abhigyanpatwari/GitNexus: Indexes a codebase into an interactive knowledge graph. New versus August 27. Coverage describes graph views of repositories rather than a CVE or funding round.

calesthio/OpenMontage: Open-source agentic video system with 12 production pipelines, 52 tools, and 500-plus agent skills in one writeup (the README also cites 100-plus tools and 700-plus files). Released June 2026. New versus August 27. Rank 7.

What today's GitHub board reveals
Agent tooling still dominates, but the mix shifted from Claude-code wrappers to diagramming, video pipelines, and editor plugins. Archify at 1 is a holdover. OpenMontage at 7 and cursor/plugins at 9 are the new packaging story: skills and plugins as installable units.
awesome-gpt-image-2 sliding 8 ranks is the clearest fade. Official Anthropic plugins holding at 3 is a fixture, not a spike.
