The forrestchang/andrej-karpathy-skills repo — a single CLAUDE.md distilling Karpathy's viral LLM coding pitfall observations into four behavioral rules (Think Before Coding, Simplicity First, Surgical Changes, Goal-Driven Execution) — has crossed 109K stars after a 5,828-star single day on April 13. It proves that the highest-leverage developer tool of 2026 might be a 65-line markdown file that fixes how AI agents think about code.
