00:00 Welcome back to GitHub awesome. This is GitHub trending today number 46. 32 trending open- source projects on GitHub right now. Let's get into it. Iris is a screenshot CLI that also runs as an MCP server from the same binary. So an agent calling capture gets the image in line instead of a file path to locate. It drives your installed Chrome over DevTools protocol and waits for fonts and image loads before firing.
00:27 scroll triggering lazy content on full page shots. Retina by default with a documented fallback past Chrome's 16k pixel render limit. Wake gathers local coding agent histories from clawed codecs and others into one native Mac OS window. It indexes transcripts with SQLite full text search watches for new sessions, renders tool calls and highlighted code and can reopen supported conversations in the original project directory.
00:54 Agent stores are readon, credentials are skipped, and no network requests are made. Apache Macaka is a local first agent workspace where every model message, tool call, result, permission, decision, and termination event becomes an appendon runtime log. Desktop, terminal, CLI, and evaluation runs all pass through the same execution host. So sessions can branch, recover, and compact context without discarding recorded evidence.
01:23 It supports cloud or local models and permission gated tools. 3UI community is a login-free catalog of interactive React and 3JS components with the actual implementation sitting beside each live preview. You can browse effects, adjust their controls, switch variants, inspect source, and run the entire catalog locally with Vite. The public repository preserves the main products responsive shell and themes, but removes authentication, checkout, and every pro or beta component.
01:56 Openbot gives each agent its own container with its own Chromium login, and workspace, so two co-workers aren't sharing a browser profile. Every tool call routes through one gateway that resolves the target, checks it against your rules, writes an audit row, and only then acts or refuses and names the rule. any AGUI endpoint plugs in. It's alpha, ships with O disabled, and needs a copilot kit intelligence license to run.
02:23 Mango disk is a cross-platform disc analyzer and cleaner that defaults to scanning not deleting. It maps storage with tree maps, finds large and duplicate files, separates rebuildable app data from possible personal files, and manages uninstall leftovers or startup items. Cleanup rules are public and require source checks plus real system validation before release.
02:47 MW is a self-hosted personal agent with an actual address. You can chat through its web app, email a named agent, or expose the same tool catalog through MCP, HTTP, and the CLI. One go server covers mail, files, calendars, news, markets, search, and small web apps while letting you bring your own model. SMTP in, IMAP out, MCP for agents. Terminal code runs VS Code in your terminal by stacking two pieces.
03:11 Code server puts VS Code in a browser and their terminal browser renders that browser through the Kitty graphics protocol. It's real VS Code drawn as pixels in your terminal grid. Over SSH toad at SSH keeps the front end local and only the backend remote so you're not shipping every frame across the network. FX is a compact coding agent written in Zigg.
03:36 Shaped more like a Unix command than a terminal IDE. It can run interactively, answer oneshot requests, resume saved sessions, or embed inside another application as a native binary or web assembly module. Skills, MCP tools, sub aents, and scope permission rules extend the core without changing its shell-like interface. Scandinavian design is a cursor agent skill that gives an existing interface a restrained Nordic redesign instead of another generic component makeover.
04:04 It inspects the product first, preserves useful brand and accessibility decisions, then applies a neutral pallet, sand serif typography, generous spacing, and quieter structure. You can ask it to redesign, review, prototype three directions, or inspect a full flow. Marketing OS is a pure markdown agent skill that turns claude, codecs, or cursor into a structured marketing workspace.
04:30 Its 14 modules cover audits, positioning, copy, email, ads, launches, and analytics, but load only when needed. Give it a brand context file and it produces scored reports and finished artifacts instead of generic advice. Zotrope draws a running clawed code session as a live flow graph in your terminal. the main agent, every sub agent it spawns, and the tool calls under each one.
04:55 The timeline is indexed by event rather than wall clock, so a busy minute gets room instead of collapsing. Seek backwards and agents unfinish, tool counts fall, the graph shrinks to how it stood. Amagine 3D turns a product description, reference images, and key dimensions into a parametric enclosure and keeps the build 123D Python source editable rather than handing you a mesh.
05:19 The agent runs that source in a browser geometry runtime, measures the actual result, and checks part connectivity, interference, and motion clearance before deciding whether to revise. Autoprompt is a coding agent skill that turns one goal into a managed loop of scoping, implementation, testing, review, repair, and verification. It separates coordination from execution and independent judgment, then lets you control concurrency and model routing across several coding agents.
05:51 In the project's 89 task open test, failures fell from 29 to 16. Claude DB gives Claude code persistent memory without locking you into a hosted service. Hooks automatically capture and recall project context while a local code graph answers symbol usage explanations and dependency paths across six languages. SQLite works out of the box or you can bring MongoDB or Postgress for shared memory.
06:21 Jixu is a TypeScript harness for running one agent inside a durable recoverable thread. Instead of treating conversation state and tool effects as loose callbacks, it records an ordered event log and deres state deterministically. So completed work can be replayed without firing live side effects again. SQLite persistence and a native terminal UI are included.
06:45 NOPUS catches coding agent replies that bury the answer under abstract overworked pros. It scores completed responses with deterministic checks for rare wording, sustained abstraction, dense noun stacks, and formulaic filler while ignoring code paths, URLs, and common technical terms. It requests exactly one clear rewrite when the threshold is crossed.
07:05 That cap prevents retry loops. Microlighter is a dependencyfree browser syntax highlighter that leaves your code DOM alone. Instead of wrapping every token in spans, it parses textmate grammars with native regular expressions and paints matching ranges through the CSS custom highlight API that keeps editable code blocks genuinely editable with languages loaded only when needed.
07:33 Benjamin Plus is a small instruction set that teaches coding agents to waste fewer tokens without changing the requested result. It batches repository reconnaissance, reads narrow file windows, probes dependencies once, respects the tasks real verification command, and pulls long jobs less often. Jet Brains reports a 17.9% median cost reduction in one paired benchmark with quality unchanged.
08:00 Fullstack agent is a clawed code wizard that assembles one person's whole agent setup on your machine. a plain text memory vault, pushto talk voice, a full screen visualizer, and optional webcam hand tracking. You clone it and type set me up. Then it's a conversation. The agent does the installing and wiring itself. If you already built any of these by hand, it adopts your identity and vault rather than rebuilding them.
08:28 Paper aquarium turns a child's paper coloring into a swimming 3D fish. Corner markers let the phone camera identify the sheet. correct perspective, cut out the drawing, and map it onto an animated model inside a 3JS aquarium. The node server has no runtime dependencies and supports phoneto TV viewing. Fish models aren't included, so license a compatible pack or supply your own.
08:50 Procoder gives coding agents a commit gate they can't satisfy with a confident status message. It's go binary checks formatting, tests, secrets, repository hygiene, and release readiness. While treating an unavailable check as failure instead of green hooks can enforce the gate after writes, but the binary only reports findings. The agent still makes every edit.
09:16 Kindergal art system for generating handdrawn characters that can move, speak, and reappear consistently. Each face is stored as a compact JSON recipe, so the same seed rebuilds the same design without saving an image. Shapes stay separate from drawing media. Species are defined as weighted data, and the generic rig turns parts into animated meshes.
09:41 Renux brings bulk file renaming into a terminal interface where you can inspect the result before touching the file system. Rules can use regular expressions, case transformations, counters, dates, file sizes, or photo and video metadata, while exclusions protect files you don't want changed. It also records backups for undo and redo, and supports dry run or headless execution for scripts.
10:06 Highlight Studio drives the 8 LED array on Pixel 11 Pro with per app rules and per contact colors read from the notification itself. So, it never asks for contacts permission. There's no internet permission at all. The renderer enforces its own limits regardless of app state. Ambient effects stop after 30 seconds, brightness tapers after 10, and the array can't be lit more than half of any 10-minute window.
10:34 Vomit pipes a coding agent's output through a local model to shorten it running fully offline with no telemetry. The second model is fully separate. It sees only what the agent tried to say, not the actions or files. So the author says outright it hallucinates a bit and you might miss a message entirely. A non-invasive tail mode runs alongside without touching anything.
10:58 Scrollcraft is a clawed code skill for scroll driven sites that verifies its own work by screenshotting its own scroll. A headless browser walks every scroll position, waits for the video playhead to settle, then reports dead scroll that changes nothing. Copy that never reaches full opacity and perline contrast measured on the composited page at the brightest frame passing under it.
11:23 Hermes 3D is a visualization layer, not an engine. a retro 3D office where your agents appear as workers at desks with standups, pull request reviews, and monitoring as rooms you walk through. It doesn't run the agents. You point it at a Herm's backend, a custom HTTP runtime, or a bundled demo gateway, and it renders what that gateway reports. Studio proxies the websocket same origin and keeps only UI preferences locally.
11:51 HFlow is a pipeline SDK for robot demonstration data where your quality checks and transforms stay plain Python functions and it handles orchestration versioning and the catalog around them. Episodes are MCAP chunked so camera streams and state streams never share a chunk. So a training sample costs one read per group rather than one per topic. Bear is a deled Chromium for Android built as a patch series, not a fork.
12:16 68 patches against one pinned revision. So the repo is exactly the difference from stock. Manifest v2 stays alive. So full Ublock origin runs along with bit warden and dark reader. The desktop extensions on a phone. Every Google callback and AI surface is removed by patch or build flag. SSH clipboard gives your Mac and Linux machines one native clipboard without sending data through a cloud service.
12:44 It syncs text, images, files, and rich formats over persistent peer-to-peer SSH using the system pasteboard on Mac OS and Whand or X11 on Linux. Setup can discover tail scale peers and install a per user background service remotely. Alver method packages one learning loop as agent skills. Probe your actual edge with graded multiple choice. Draw a mermaid dag of the dependency order for that specific gap.
13:10 Then teach exactly one reasoning step and quiz to lock it in. Fail the quiz and it inserts a prerequisite rather than repeating itself. The quizzes go through each agent's native picker instead of pasting ABCD into chat.
