Stars gained 14 Sept–20 Sept · New podium every Monday
security-audit-skill
This skill turns your AI coding agent into a security auditor for your code. It hunts for real security flaws in stages, then has a second AI agent double-check each finding. It's built for developers — if a freelancer built your website, ask if they can run a check like this.
Why it's trending: Cloudflare built it as the seed for their own vulnerability-hunting system, described on Cloudflare's engineering blog.

open-code-review
Open Code Review is a command-line tool that uses an AI model to check code changes before they go live. It started as Alibaba's own internal review tool, and the company later made it free and open. It's for developers, but it shows how AI code review is becoming normal for the people who build your software.
Why it's trending: Alibaba released a public benchmark, built from 200 real code changes and checked by over 80 senior engineers, showing this tool costs far less to run than general coding agents, for the same review quality.

ECC
ECC helps manage several AI coding agents running at once. It adds shared memory, safety limits, and monitoring across tools like Claude Code and Codex. It's built for software teams, so it only matters if your developers already use AI coding agents.
Why it's trending: It gained 6,865 stars this week.

Why it's trending: It just added a mobile companion app on the iOS App Store and as an Android download, so developers can monitor and steer their agents from their phone.

Colibrì lets you run huge AI language models on your own computer instead of paying for a cloud service. It splits the model cleverly across your computer's memory, storage, and graphics card. Setting it up needs real skill and strong hardware, so it's for developers and IT teams, not a plug-and-play app.
Why it's trending: It recently added support for very large new models, including a 2.8-trillion-parameter model called Kimi K3, running on ordinary consumer computers.
