Ranked list of the biggest moves on GitHub trending repositories on November 9, 2026, with sherlock-project/sherlock climbing seven spots to number one and dsx-ai-factory/nvke jumping thirteen spots to number two

sherlock-project/sherlock climbs seven spots, from #8 to #1, on GitHub's trending repositories board on November 9, 2026. dsx-ai-factory/nvke posts the day's biggest jump, up 13 spots from #15 to #2. The board itself contracted: nine repos today against 15 yesterday, and eight of yesterday's 15 are gone entirely. Yesterday's snapshot had 15 repos; the snapshot was taken at 05:01 UTC and the movers are measured against it.

The skills wave breaks

Yesterday's top five held four skills repos. Today three of them have left the board: cloudflare/security-audit-skill (#2 yesterday), google/skills (#3) and mattpocock/skills (#4) are all gone. anthropics/skills is the only skills repo left in the top nine, down two spots to #7. The one fresh Anthropic entry is different in kind: anthropics/claude-quickstarts debuts at #4, a first appearance in the last four daily snapshots. google-deepmind/mujoco debuts at #8, the other first appearance today.

agent-browser held #1 yesterday and falls four spots today, one day after returning to the board.

Four climbers, two fallers, one hold

Seven of yesterday's 15 repos survived. Four climbed, two fell, and one held its exact rank:

nvke's 13-spot jump is the second-largest single-day climb across the November 7, 8 and 9 boards, behind cloudflare/security-audit-skill's 15-spot climb yesterday. nvke climbed from the very bottom of yesterday's board to #2 today. billion-context also rose from near the bottom, #14 to #9.

The API's own 1d rank-change call returned two climbers, nvke and billion-context, with the same prev ranks as the table above. Its baseline snapshot was taken at 07:01 UTC, two hours after the published November 8 snapshot at 05:01 UTC; the likely reason sherlock and OpenMausBot do not appear in it is that they had already moved by the later baseline, though the 07:01 board is not published here to confirm that.

Eight repos fall off

The eight departures include yesterday's #2, #3 and #4, and the repo that led the board two days ago:

mattpocock/skills swung 12 or more spots on two straight days, down 14 to #16 on November 7 and up 12 to #4 yesterday, and today it is off the board. zed's run lasted three snapshots: #1 on November 7, #13 on November 8, gone today.

Reproduce this board with one call

The leaders board is one REST call. The climbers table is a second call with sort and window parameters:

curl -X POST https://api.trendsmcp.ai/api \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <redacted>" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"mode": "get_top_trends", "type": "GitHub", "limit": 20}'

Add "sort": "rank_change", "window": "1d" to the request body to get the climbers table with prev_rank and rank_change on every row. The API call returns two climbers, nvke and billion-context, matching the table above. For how these daily boards feed longer-term analysis, see the October trend-velocity census.
