The serving framework gained 836 stars today to reach 35,498, and its open count splits almost entirely to pull requests. Every other high-traffic repo checked today runs the opposite way.

Nearly two contributions per complaint, the most PR-heavy backlog I've seen on this beat (GitHub). Set against ruvnet/ruflo, which splits 289 open PRs against 604 open issues at 70,203 stars, the two largest agent meta-harnesses have inverted contribution shapes at similar act...

Created February 26, 2026, already on its 21st minor of a third major (GitHub). It packages a five-stage Claude Code pipeline, research to write to review to revise to finalize, holding only 20 open issues at that star count. Contrast it with mattpocock/skills at 244,612 stars...
