What to try
New software the crowd is converging on, measured — not recommended. Distinct people paying attention, ranked within each day, classified as AI tooling by model, with the classifier's rejects left visible.
How this list is made
Each day, every starring and forking event GitHub’s public stream carries is counted as distinct people paying attention — people, never raw event counts, so one enthusiastic bot cannot manufacture a breakout. Repositories are ranked within their own day, the day’s floor is 5 people, and a language model classifies each arrival as AI tooling or not. Rows that failed that classification stay visible below, dimmed — you should see what the filter removed, not take the cut on trust.
Ranks are trustworthy; absolute counts are not. GitHub’s public stream heavily undersamples starring, and a fresh day is incomplete at read time — both are quantified on Trust, and both are why this page compares repositories only against the same day’s field.
Ranking inside a single day is the load-bearing choice, marked here in red. GitHub’s public stream undersamples starring badly and a fresh day is still filling in, so a count from Tuesday and a count from Saturday are not the same unit — but position within a day’s own field is.

New on the watch this week
2075 repositories crossed the attention floor and joined the watch in the last seven days — anything that crosses it gets picked up automatically and snapshotted daily from then on. (The watch itself was seeded Aug 20, 2026 with the monthly instrument’s 2,142 tracked repositories; these arrivals are what the daily instrument has added on top.) Recent arrivals that classified as AI tooling:
Would it have caught the last breakout?
Before this lane went live it was run backward over its own window. deepseek-ai/deepseek-harness was created Aug 13, 2026 and ranked #2 on all of GitHub by attention in its first hour alive, and #1 for 7 of its first eight hours. On its peak day (Aug 14) it drew 478 people in the sampled stream against 17 for the runner-up — a 28× gap. The runner-up that day, cordiverse/cordis, is the framework underneath it: the crowd went looking at what the new thing was built on, and the instrument caught that too.
The harness shipped with its issue tracker disabled — a contribution-based sensor would have missed it entirely. What fired instead was the satellite pattern: the framework underneath it (+1h), the plugin index (+2h), a web UI (+3.5h), a desktop app (+9.5h) all drew their first attention within hours of it. Satellite clustering is the shape of a breakout, and it is the only signal when the artifact itself arrives closed.
