Merged PR #265, in the maintainer’s own words: Archify “retains material from Cocoon AI’s MIT-licensed architecture-diagram-generator 1.0, but the distribution gate did not require or validate the packaged LICENSE.” Two Mermaid experiment inputs “came from repositories without verifiable redistribution licenses,” and six downloads already published — v2.0.0 through v2.3.1 — still ship with no LICENSE and have to be replaced or withdrawn. PR #267 adds that the new third-party notice does not claim every bundled mark has been cleared for commercial use.

Imagine giving your AI helper a big key ring. One connection lets it use thousands of apps, such as Gmail and Notion, to do everyday chores for you.
zapier.com/mcpIf you write software, this is the same key ring handed to your program instead of your chatbot — a few lines of code and your app can use those thousands of apps too.
zapier.com/sdkA free add-on that reads your go.mod and tells your AI coding assistant which modern Go features it is actually allowed to use — so it stops hand-rolling loops the standard library already replaced.

The Kotlin Programming Language.
IntelliJ IDEA & IntelliJ Platform
Compose Multiplatform, a modern UI framework for Kotlin that makes building performant and beautiful user interfaces easy and enjoyable.
The skill checks which Go version the project is actually on, then only offers features that version has — the coverage runs Go 1.0 through Go 1.27. The agent cannot suggest syntax you would not be able to compile.
slices.Contains, cmp.Or, max(a, b) instead of the three-line versions models learned from 2019 code. It covers everything the modernize analyzer targets.
In Claude Code: /plugin marketplace add JetBrains/go-modern-guidelines, then /plugin install modern-go-guidelines@goland-claude-marketplace. Elsewhere: npx skills add JetBrains/go-modern-guidelines. It runs from a local cache and never modifies your project.
Go only, and it is instructions for an agent rather than a tool that checks or fixes anything — nothing guarantees the agent follows them. Needs the Go toolchain on your PATH, targets Go 1.25 or newer, and has zero published releases. Cursor users update by reinstalling.
3,103 stars against 45.6k, 31k and 16.9k elsewhere in this top ten. Exactly one English X post clears the bar, and no video about it reaches 2,000 views. The two biggest tweets are non-English originals we cannot put on screen.
A fork of Anthropic’s Claude Code, rewired to run on OpenAI, Gemini, DeepSeek or a free model on your own laptop. It is not from Anthropic — its own README and license say so in writing.

Gitlawb plugin for Opencode
Decentralized git node — self-hostable, Ed25519 identity, HTTP signatures, libp2p gossip. MIT/Apache-2.0.
OpenClaude’s own LICENSE file states it in writing: “This project does not have Anthropic’s authorization to distribute their proprietary source. Users and contributors should evaluate their own legal position.” Anthropic did file a DMCA notice with GitHub on 2026-03-31, naming github.com/nirholas/claude-code and 96 individually-listed forks, then partially retracted it the next day to cover only those named repos. Gitlawb/openclaude is not on that list and nothing has been taken down — but not named is not the same as cleared. The README also says outright that the project is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Anthropic.

The README badge, the README body and an actual listing of the skills/ directory all say 163. They span genomics, drug discovery, imaging, materials science and astronomy.
The database-lookup skill covers PubChem, ChEMBL, UniProt and 75 more, so the agent goes to an authoritative source instead of recalling something that sounds right.
npx skills add K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills puts it into Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI or Google Antigravity. You can pin a version — --pin v2.65.0 — so a research setup stays reproducible.
K-Dense’s own words: skills can execute code and influence your agent’s behavior, so review what you install. Many are community-contributed and the company says it cannot guarantee every one has been exhaustively reviewed. Its own advice: don’t install all 163 at once.
The description says 190,000+ scientists. That figure is not in the team’s own arXiv paper, and K-Dense’s About page says only “thousands.” The paper is a preprint by the company about its own product.
The complete free recipe for training a tiny language model from absolute scratch — pretraining, fine-tuning, LoRA, DPO — with every algorithm written in plain PyTorch so you can read what is actually happening.

Pretrain, supervised fine-tuning, LoRA, DPO, PPO/GRPO/CISPO and distillation — every core algorithm in plain PyTorch, with no transformers, trl or peft hiding the work. The 2026-04-01 rebuild added minimind-3, whose architecture lines up with Qwen3.
The smallest model is roughly 1/2700 the size of GPT-3, so one consumer GPU gets you to the end. What you build runs in Ollama with ollama run jingyaogong/minimind-3, and the repo ships an OpenAI-compatible API server.
The author’s own English README defines the headline narrowly: two hours is one epoch of the SFT stage on a single NVIDIA 3090, and the three yuan is the GPU rental for that window — not the whole pipeline. You realistically need a CUDA GPU.
The README’s own sample answers are visibly repetitive and wrong in places. The value is that you built it yourself, not that the result is useful.
58,220 stars and no English conversation at all — no English X post, no long-form video, no Short. The discussion is real and large, and entirely in Chinese; the biggest posts we found were 55,000, 49,273 and 49,241 views. That absence is the interesting thing about repo seven.
CoddyKit, 2026-09-01. Free and English, and it walks the full pipeline rather than rewriting the README — including why the architectural choices are pedagogical, and how MiniMind compares to nanoGPT.
Where the fine print lives, in his words: what the two hours and the three yuan actually measure, and what “from scratch” means here.

Retired — the story lives at https://omarchy.org/omakub, the thread continues at https://omabuntu.omakasui.org
Run Omarchy on MacOS without any setup.
Aether, native Omarchy theming made easy.
Omarchy put the default user in the docker group, which meant any desktop process could get root with no password and no prompt. It was responsibly disclosed by the researcher trap0xcc and fixed in 4.0.1. The Hacker News thread ran to 533 points and 546 comments. The split is the interesting part: critics say the tradeoff was made for the user, applied to the default account, and never explained; defenders say docker-group membership is normal on a single-user desktop. A harsher piece the week before, “Merchants of Insecurity,” argued Omarchy 4.0 also shipped bash injection via video titles and command execution via notifications — 297 points, 445 comments.
Hand it a history of numbers — sales, signups, traffic, inventory — and it predicts what comes next, with no training run and no data-science team. Version 3.0 tops three public benchmarks.

3.0 weights are non-commercial; 2.5 stays Apache-2.0 and is fine for business.
TensorFlow code and pre-trained models for BERT
A playbook for systematically maximizing the performance of deep learning models.
You hand it a history of numbers — sales, signups, traffic, inventory — and it predicts what comes next, zero-shot. It returns nine quantiles, so you get a range instead of a single number, and it forecasts many related series at once.
timesfm-non-commercial-license-v1.0: no revenue-generating activity, no production systems, no client deliverables, and no redistribution.Only the newest weights are restricted. Commercial use of 3.0 means a separate license from Google, or a paid product — TimesFM already ships inside BigQuery ML and Vertex Model Garden. Install with pip install timesfm[torch], and expect friction: the 3.0 examples import timesfm3.
The most substantial skeptical thread — 327 points, 109 comments, on the 2.5 generation — has a practitioner who tested it: not bad, but essentially on the level of an ARIMA model trained on the data, just bigger and slower.
TimesFM 3.0’s weights are restricted to non-commercial, non-production use, while 2.5 stays Apache-2.0 — confirmed on Hugging Face, where google/timesfm-3.0-pytorch reads license: other and google/timesfm-2.5-200m-pytorch reads apache-2.0. The change landed quietly in a pull request titled “chore: update licenses” on 2026-08-28, with zero comments, and nobody has opened a public issue about it since. A 30,000-star Google repo restricting its newest weights to non-production use, with no discussion at all, is the story.

A rubric that scores an agent across seven dimensions, twice: once while it’s engaged with you (Active), once across idle periods when nothing triggered it (Ambient). The two are reported side by side and never averaged — the spread is the point.
View on GitHub →Everyone in the agent space says “autonomous” and nobody defines it. AAS scores a system on a 0–5 scale twice — Active and Ambient — and reports them side by side. Claude Code comes out at 2.29 active and 0.57 ambient; Manus at 2.43 and 0.71; Siri at 1.71 and 0.29. The tools that feel the most agentic in use are the ones that go closest to zero the moment you stop typing. It’s designed to be rated independently — if you score something and land somewhere different than I did, I want to hear it.
