Agent skill · Architecture diagrams · MIT

Describe your system in chat, get a clickable diagram back.

ELI5

A skill you bolt onto your AI coding assistant. Instead of describing your architecture in words, it hands back a real, interactive diagram — one self-contained HTML file you can click, export, or drop into a deck.

Highlights
  • Five diagram types, one install

    Architecture, workflow, sequence, data flow and lifecycle — all from the same skill.

  • Output is one HTML file

    Self-contained and interactive, plus PNG, SVG, WebM and share cards. Nothing to install to view it.

  • Diffs two versions of a diagram

    Before / Delta / After, so you can see what a change did to the architecture before merging.

Star growth over time for tt-a1i/archify
Voxyz_ai on making Archify his default for system diagrams — 59,669 views, 1,574 bookmarks. Not an announcement: he posts the actual prompt template he feeds the agent.
Hyperautomation Labs locks the agent out of apache/maka’s own ARCHITECTURE.md, makes Archify draw the system from raw source in 12m50s, then checks 10 arrows against real file-and-line evidence on camera — 5,961 views. The only adversarial test anyone has run on it.

The maintainer admitted the license provenance was broken

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and six downloads already published — v2.0.0 through v2.3.1 — still ship with no LICENSE and have to be replaced or withdrawn.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.

JetBrains · Agent plugin · Apache-2.0

JetBrains’ fix for agents that write five-year-old Go.

ELI5

A 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.

Highlights
  • Reads your go.mod first

    Only suggests features the Go version in your project actually supports.

  • Covers Go 1.0 through 1.27

    Including everything the official modernize analyzer targets.

  • Installs into four agents

    Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and JetBrains’ own Junie, from one repo.

Star growth over time for JetBrains/go-modern-guidelines
The only qualifying English post about this repo, at 13,491 views — and it is the right kind. The maintainer of ast-grep, a different tool, added 12 Go modernization rules to his own catalog because he agrees with JetBrains’ premise: AI training data is full of older Go.
The Go skill, in full
  1. It reads your go.mod first

    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.

  2. It kills the hand-rolled loop

    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.

  3. One line to install, in the agent you already use

    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.

  4. The limits, stated plainly

    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.

  5. Why this segment is thin on links

    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.

Gitlawb · CLI coding agent · Custom license

Claude Code’s workflow, pointed at any model you want.

Star growth over time for Gitlawb/openclaude
The repo’s own account on the day Claude Code left the $20 Pro plan — 662,475 views, 5,067 likes, 4,462 bookmarks. Owner content, and the single best artifact of the story: one company narrowed access, and this was the answer within three weeks.
Pro Coder’s install walkthrough — 55,163 views, the highest-viewed video that actually links Gitlawb/openclaude in its description. Mac and Windows setup, a live coding test on Gemini Flash, then an is-it-production-ready chapter.
On GitHub
Legally unsettled — and the repo says so itself

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.

  • Reaches 78 public databases

    One database-lookup skill covers PubChem, ChEMBL, UniProt and 75 more.

  • Pin a version for reproducibility

    --pin v2.65.0 freezes the skill set so a study can be re-run later.

Star growth over time for K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills
ruffy0369 wired the skills library into Nous Research’s Hermes agent and shipped a pull request for it — 33,532 views. This is somebody using the repo, not announcing it, and he answered install questions in the replies with the actual clone command.
K-Dense’s own 55-minute working session with Dr. Timothy Kassis, setting the skills up in Claude Code and Cursor — 13,138 views. It is the repo’s own channel, and it is the only substantial English video that exists. It predates the rename, so it still says Claude Scientific Skills.
Scientific Agent Skills, in full
  1. 163 skills, not the 165 the description claims

    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.

  2. One skill reaches 78 public databases

    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.

  3. It installs wherever the open standard runs

    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.

  4. Read the security note before you install all of it

    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.

  5. And the headline number is unverified

    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 whole pipeline, nothing hidden

  • Small enough for one GPU

    The smallest model is roughly 1/2700 the size of GPT-3.

  • Your model runs in Ollama

    ollama run jingyaogong/minimind-3, plus an OpenAI-compatible API server.

Star growth over time for jingyaogong/minimind
MiniMind, in full
  1. The whole pipeline, written out by hand

    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.

  2. Small enough that you actually finish it

    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.

  3. Two hours and three yuan — read the footnote

    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.

  4. What you get is a teaching artifact, not an assistant

    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.

  5. Why there is nothing to play on this segment

    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.

The strongest third-party post — 244,373 views, 5,553 bookmarks. It lays out the price comparison, Semrush at $139.95 a month and Ahrefs at $129, then lands the caveat honestly before the kicker: it does not magically reproduce every database Ahrefs built over a decade.
Full Stack runs the whole thing end to end — DataForSEO key, Docker Compose up, keyword research, rank tracking, keyword gap, backlinks, site audit, then the MCP server wired into Claude. 15,548 views, and the only OpenSEO video that clears 2,000.

Hacker News
Any user process could escalate to root

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.

  • A range, not a single number

    Returns nine quantiles alongside the point forecast.

  • 2.5 is the commercial one

    3.0 weights are non-commercial; 2.5 stays Apache-2.0 and is fine for business.

Star growth over time for google-research/timesfm
Google Research announcing TimesFM-3 on 2026-08-31, three days before this episode — 1,990,481 views, 11,548 likes, 11,010 bookmarks. It is Google’s own account: the biggest genuinely third-party post about this repo is 68,990 views and predates 3.0 entirely.
Byte Goose AI on how it actually works — input patching, why the output patches run longer than the input patches, and why a lean 200M model beats bigger supervised ones. 6,946 views. It covers the 2.5-era model, not 3.0; the only 3.0 video that exists sits at 2,327 views.
TimesFM — and which weights you are allowed to use
  1. Forecasting with no training run

    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.

  2. Two sets of weights, two completely different rules
    • 3.0: About 330M parameters, released 2026-08-28, the first natively multivariate TimesFM, and ranked #1 among foundation models on GIFT-Eval, fev-bench and the TIME Benchmark. The weights ship under timesfm-non-commercial-license-v1.0: no revenue-generating activity, no production systems, no client deliverables, and no redistribution.
    • 2.5: 200M parameters, 16k context, Apache-2.0. This is the one you are allowed to ship.
  3. The source code is Apache-2.0 either way

    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.

  4. The standing objection

    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.

On GitHub
The best weights are the ones you are not allowed to ship

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.

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.
