What today's GitHub repos reveal
Agent tooling still dominates: a from-scratch curriculum at 1, memory at 2, office docs at 3, orchestration at 4, model compression at 5, then a financial example at 7 and a skills framework at 10. FxEmbed at 6 is the odd social-embed utility. Mvt at 9 is the forensics holdover.
Financial-services dropping 6 ranks while keeping 37,441 stars is a recency story, not a star-count story. Superpowers at 291.3K stars still sits 10th. The GitHub trending repos API is the matching data-source page.
