Velocity Report: the 10 fastest-growing repos we track (week of 28 Sept 2026)

Hindsight leads with 12,033 new stars, followed by Paperclip with 8,553 and HydraDB with 6,689. Agent infrastructure stands out in this week's Velocity Report.

+12,033 stars in one week put Hindsight first, ahead of Paperclip's +8,553 and HydraDB's +6,689. This is MrKeyoor's own weekly tracking across 300+ reviewed repos.

An agent finishes a task, then needs to remember what happened and pick up the next assignment. This week's leaders include tools for that handoff: memory, coordination, and controlled execution.

The board — week of 28 Sept 2026

# Repo Stars gained Total stars
1 hindsight +12,033 37,277
2 paperclip +8,553 89,852

10 cc-switch +3,243 137,495

Why they are moving

1. hindsight — Hindsight's appeal starts where an agent's session ends: storing experience and retrieving it when the next task needs context.

2. paperclip — Paperclip addresses the management work around agent teams, putting tasks, budgets, reporting lines, and approvals in one self-hosted control plane.

3. hydradb — HydraDB offers a distinctive graph architecture, keeping durable data and traversal indexes in S3-compatible storage; its weekly gain exceeds its previous star count.

4. VoiceStudio — VoiceStudio brings voice cloning, speech generation, transcription, and dubbing into a local workspace, giving audio creators several reasons to investigate.

5. univer — Univer gives developers a route to embedding spreadsheets and documents in their products without building an office suite from scratch.

6. ax — AX addresses a practical question for agent operators: how to run tasks in isolated cluster sandboxes with defined workspaces and network access.

7. deepseek-harness — DeepSeek Harness packages tools, sessions, model adapters, and approvals into a coding-agent runtime usable through a local web interface or headless mode.

8. ai-engineering-from-scratch — AI Engineering From Scratch connects foundational math and code to agents and production work, offering learners a path through a sprawling subject.

9. orca — Orca makes parallel coding agents easier to oversee by placing them beside each other in a desktop workspace, usually with separate Git worktrees.

10. cc-switch — CC Switch targets configuration sprawl, gathering provider accounts, model routes, MCP servers, and skills into a desktop manager.

The pattern

Agent infrastructure stands out this week: memory, coordination, execution, and configuration all appear among the ten fastest gainers. The pattern suggests attention to the practical work of operating agents, though stars alone cannot establish adoption or reliability.

These numbers are a snapshot of one week. The same data, updated continuously, is on GitHub today, and the thirty-day view is on the fastest-growing repositories board.

Methodology: mrkeyoor.com snapshots star counts for every repo it has reviewed and computes week-over-week deltas from baselines at least 5 days old. Full reviews with scorecards: the repo board.
