The pattern

Tools for coding agents recur across this week's leaders, from inspecting applications to structuring work and producing diagrams. Desktop creative workspaces also feature repeatedly, suggesting attention to tools that bring several related tasks together.

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.
