What today's GitHub repos reveal
Agent tooling still dominates, but the GitHub Trending Repos API swapped yesterday's leak-and-prompt pack for shipping products: an Alibaba review CLI, Homebrew's GUI, a self-hosted CRM, LibreChat, and atlas. Colibri remains the local-MoE engine at 2 with 34,325 stars.
Ghidra at 8 is the old SRE fixture returning, not a new NSA drop. VoiceStudio is the only rank holdover.
