What today's GitHub board reveals
Agent diagramming still owns rank 1, but the supporting cast shifted from official plugin catalogs to networking and HTML tools. tailcat at 4 is a Tailscale data-plane remix. htmx at 7 is a mature library re-entering, not a greenfield gist.
Star count on archify moved from 25,187 to 31,619 between the August 29 cite and this fetch, which is the only sourced star delta on the ten. Official Anthropic and Cursor plugin repos leaving is a one-day catalog fade, not a takedown.
