How these numbers were collected

"Stars then" is the count recorded by our pipeline on the day the repository was reviewed. "Stars now" is the count from the GitHub API on 2026-09-13. Both are stored per repository in our star history dataset. We did not run or test any of these projects; every figure is a count, not an assessment.

Each repository links to its own page on https://githubtrends.app, which carries the video review and the full coverage record.

Every repository we have covered under this topic, including the ones without a baseline, is listed on the AI agents page.
