addyosmani/agent-skills — Production-grade engineering skills for AI coding agents

Market Signal

Why It Has Market Pull

Addy Osmani's agent-skills is one of the fastest-growing repos on GitHub, packaging Google-style engineering practices as SKILL.md workflows that plug into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and 70+ other agents. O'Reilly Radar has already picked it up, and daily star growth remains unusually high months after launch.

  • 72,113 GitHub stars and 7,813 forks — up from ~27K in April 2026 to 72K by July 2026
  • Ranked around global #1,679 by star-history — massive tail growth even after the initial spike
  • 24 skills covering the full lifecycle (Define, Plan, Build, Verify, Review, Ship) plus 7 slash commands
  • Endorsed by O'Reilly Radar as an important emerging practice for AI-assisted development
  • Explicit compatibility with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Copilot, Cline and 70+ other agents

steipete/CodexBar — Show usage stats for OpenAI Codex and Claude Code

Market Signal

Why It Has Market Pull

CodexBar is a native Swift menu-bar app from Peter Steinberger (steipete) that surfaces usage windows, credits, and rate limits for 56 AI coding providers — Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, Antigravity, and more — without asking the user to log in again. It parses local session state on-device, so it's privacy-preserving by default, and it's been iterating almost daily since launch.

  • 17,024 GitHub stars, 1,388 forks, and 63 open issues on steipete/CodexBar since the November 2025 launch.
  • Tracks session, weekly, and monthly usage windows across 56 providers plus configurable local cost scans for Codex and Claude Code.
  • Ships an MIT license, a Homebrew cask (brew install --cask steipete/tap/codexbar), a WidgetKit widget, and a bundled codexbar CLI for scripts and CI.
  • Localized in 21 languages; already a cross-platform Rust port (caut) exists — a leading indicator of ecosystem traction.
  • Daily commit activity (last push July 7, 2026) and a supporting product site at codex.bar with directory-site coverage on macmenubar.app, allclaw.org, and onmymenubar.app.

  • "Different usage between the menu bar and my real Claude monitor — worth double-checking."GitHub issue

  • "Reused chart UI across providers is cleaner than juggling five vendor dashboards."Reddit r/ClaudeAI

  • "Homebrew install just works: brew install --cask steipete/tap/codexbar."HN comment

Why It Has Market Pull

CubeSandbox is Tencent Cloud's newly open-sourced RustVMM/KVM sandbox for AI agents, offering sub-60ms cold starts, E2B-SDK compatibility, and thousands of concurrent isolated environments per node. Backed by a hyperscaler with active production validation, it has emerged as one of the strongest agent-sandbox contenders since E2B and is a clear must-track for agent-runtime work.

  • 8,444 GitHub stars, 711 forks, and 102 open issues just months after open-sourcing.
  • v0.5.0 shipped July 3 2026 with AutoPause/AutoResume, Terraform deploy, and ARM64.

I built an open-source alternative to Claude Cowork

39 pts

Hey HN, A few months ago, I tried to automate some of my work with the popular AI agent OpenClaw, and then I quickly realized how difficult it is to get it to work with APIs and third-party services securely, which is essential for a lot of work-related tasks. Then I realized OpenClaw is more of a personal assistant and it was not designed to get actual work done as a coworker. So I started to build Valmis, an alternative to OpenClaw that works with more than 100 apps and services, with security... (39 points, 8 comments).

Enola-A deterministic architecture graph for developers and AI agents

Together with a friend, we were developing a golf application. Our codebase grew rapidly and became split between multiple repositories: the iOS app, Android app, backend, front-end, and extra tooling. Both of us also work in larger scale-ups, and we saw the same problem: understanding large distributed codebases becomes progressively harder. Yay for microservices. It takes time to understand and answer questions like: - What calls this function? - What is the impact of changing this interface?... (10 points, 4 comments).

I hated how much my 12-year-old played Roblox, so we built our own FPS

23 pts

I'm a father of two, 7 and 12. They are obsessed with Roblox, especially Rivals. Like a lot of parents, we did not love it. We tried the usual things: block it, limit it, set timers." It became a daily battle, a lose-lose situation. So I flipped the problem. Instead of fighting what they loved, I decided to lean into it, but with a twist. Why just play an FPS when you could build one together? My kids became the PMs. Claude and I became their engineer. I was shocked by how fast we moved. We pick... (23 points, 7 comments).

InstantVideos.org – short documentaries in ~30 seconds

Hiya! So I've been playing around with having Claude make videos for a bit now even had some success posting the results to TikTok (and setup a whole pipeline so Claude can generate and post autonomously). With the release of Nano Banana 2 Lite, I was curious show fast I could make the generation, so last night I gave it a whirl and got down to around 30s for short-form video. It uses GLM-5.2 fast via Fireworks to generate the scripts and image prompts and, like I said, Nano Banana 2 Lite for th... (23 points, 31 comments).
