Project number six, Manm, Python engine for programmatic math animation. Manim is an open-source Python engine for precise programmatic animations built for explanatory math videos. You describe a scene in Python, shapes, equations, transformations, and manm renders it into a video or plays it in a live OpenGL window with Latte for Typeset Math.
04:30 This repository is manmg, the version by the creator of three blue one brown installed as the manml package. A separate community-maintained edition also exists for an easier start. It needs Python, FFmpeg, and OpenGL. Install it and animate your math. Project number seven, Orca desktop environment for running parallel coding agents. Orca is a free open-source agent environment for running a fleet of coding agents.
04:57 It works with any CLI agent, claude code, codeex, cursor, open code, pi, and more. Each in its isolated git work tree, so you fan one prompt across several and merge the winner. It adds terminal splits, a design mode that pipes any UI element into a prompt. Native GitHub and linear and SSH work trees. A phone companion lets you steer agents anywhere.
05:21 Download it and run agents in parallel. Project number eight, Malm open SEO. Self-hostable pay as you go alternative to Semrush and AHSO is an open-source SEO tool.

There's no subscription.
05:48 You bring your data for SEO API key and pay only for what you use. It exposes an MCP server, so agents like Claude Code, Open Claw, and Hermes work with your SEO data through reusable skills. Self-host it with Docker or Cloudflare, deploy it, and own your SEO. Project number nine, watermarks remover. Strip AI provenence marks from text and files. Watermarks remover is an open-source agent skill and Python command line tools that strip AI provenence marks from text and files for privacy on content you own.
06:19 It removes Unicode carriers, attacks token sampling watermarks through a rewrite pass, and strips C2PA and metadata from PNG, JPEG, SVG, PDF, DOCX, HTML, and markdown. Optional external backends remove Cynthia class pixel marks. The core needs only Python standard library, and no tool can certify a vendor detector will fail. Install it and inspect your files.
06:47 Project number 10, React Email Editor. Drag and drop email builder component for React. React email editor is the official open- source React component for embedding unlayers drag and drop email builder in your app. You add it as a single email editor component, then load and save designs as JSON. Listen to editor events, customize the configuration and export responsive HTML.
07:10 The output is tested across Gmail, Apple Mail, Outlook, and Yahoo Mail. And you can add custom content blocks, translations, and an optional AI assistant. Install it from npm and drop the editor into your app. Project number 11, Deepseek Harness. Plug-in-based open-source agent harness from Deepseek. Deepseek harness or DSH is an open-source agent harness from Deepseek AI.
07:35 Built on one idea, everything is a plug-in. Its capabilities, models, tools, interfaces are all plugins composed on top of the Cortis framework. So you extend the agent by adding plugins rather than editing a core. You start it with a single npx command which launches a local web UI or run it from source. It's an early developer preview that changes fast.
07:56 Install it and build your own plugins. Project number 12. Anti self-contained terminal coding agent in one Rust binary. Anti is a free self-contained coding agent that lives in your terminal shipped as one moan 15mab rust binary with zero runtime dependencies. It works like clawed code or codeex but without their model constraints. Bring your key subscription or a local GGUF model through its built-in inference engine and run offline with no account or internet.

Desktop Guey for editing Git commit metadata. Git Knife is a desktop guey for editing Git commit metadata. Most guies can't touch commit dates or author identity and CLI tools that can have no interface.
08:52 You edit a non-merge commits message, author and committer dates, name and email, or run a bulk reax find and replace across commits. It shells out to git and rebuilds commits with commit tree, reusing the original tree so file contents never change. Each apply saves a backup for restore. Build it and reshape your history. Project number 14. Chatbot template.
09:12 Minimal Nex.js chatbot starter on Versel AI gateway. Chatbot template is a minimal open-source chatbot starter from the Shad CGI team built with Nex.js and the AI SDK. It gives you streaming chat with markdown rendering, tool calling, provider native web search, and a human in the loop questionnaire where the model asks clarifying questions answered in line.
09:36 Each tool is one file, and typed message parts render results, spinners, and errors as they stream. It runs on the Versel AI gateway and deploys with one click. Clone it and build your chatbot. Project number 15, NAS ARGI1 task generator. generate fresh regi1 style tasks for model evaluation. ARGI1 task generator is an open-source Python tool from Pathway that creates regi1 style reasoning tasks matched to the public evaluation sets distribution.
10:07 Because a public benchmark can't separate fshot rule induction from prior familiarity, it builds a private set with similar properties. So you can compare a model's public benchmark score against its performance on tasks it has never seen. It writes tasks JSON in the standard reg format. Compatible with existing re valuation harnesses. Clone it and generate your tasks.
10:28 Project number 16. Part mode. Local first browser CAD for people and agents. Part mode is a free open-source browser-based parametric CAD tool for people and agents. It runs local first in the browser with no desktop install combining open cascade web assembly replicad and three js for exact brep geometry editable parts and structured assemblies with mates exploded views and sections.

Attention Span is an open-source collection of output styles for Clawed Code that change how it talks to you, not how it codes.
11:23 Each is a markdown file you drop in, making Claude answer first. Stay short, drop jargon, and expand only on what matters, so replies stay skimable and cheaper. Three ship, Attention Kind, an ADHD friendly flagship, Spartan, TUR, and Rundown, a checklist briefing. They install into Clawude Code, Codeex, and other agents. Install it and read at a glance.
11:49 Project number 18, Pyroclear. Clear your terminal with ASI Flames. Pyroclear is an open- source terminal clear replacement written in Rust that burns your screen down with ASI Flames before wiping it. It has zero dependencies beyond libs, queries terminal size via eco, so the fire resizes and keeps empty cells transparent, inheriting your theme. Over 300 pallets ship with TUIs for picking colors, building custom gradients, and tuning FPS, wind, and flame height.
12:20 Install it with cargo and alias it to clear. Set your terminal ablaze. Project number 19. Moly, headless browser built for AI agents. Moly is an open-source headless browser built in Rust for AI agents that need to fetch, extract, search, and automate web pages. It provides a complete browser runtime with JavaScript, DOM, CSS, networking, storage, and automation through CLI, CDP, web driver classic, and web driver.
12:48 Its layout and rendering run on demand while agents can read page structure directly without continuously rendering pixels. This makes it useful for browser use agents, crawling, retrieval, and evaluation workflows. Explore the repository to build browser capable AI agents. Project number 20. Open Mosspot chat app for managing multiple AI agents. Open Mosspot is an open- source chat application that lets users manage multiple AI agents as separate bots.
13:14 It connects Claude, Codeex, and Grock through their local command line tools, while a local harness server manages agent processes, transcripts, events, and permissions. Bots can use a local Mac or cloud Linux computer, and connect to services such as Gmail, Slack, GitHub, and Notion through Composio Connect. This helps developers manage agents, approve actions, and watch their work from one interface. Explore the repository to build a local first agent workspace. Thanks for watching. See you in the next update.
