Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

trending-repos-discovery scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 400 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Discover and analyze trending GitHub repositories from TrendShift and other sources. Evaluate usefulness, extract learnings, and identify valuable skills/tools for adoption.

When to Use

  • User asks "apa yang trending?" or "what's trending?"
  • User wants to discover new tools/libraries
  • User asks about specific trending repo
  • Looking for inspiration or best practices
  • Evaluating whether to adopt new tools

Sources

1. TrendShift (Primary)

URL: https://trendshift.io/

What it tracks:

  • GitHub's most-discussed open-source projects
  • Daily engagement rankings
  • Real-time mentions from X/Twitter
  • Discussions from Reddit and Hacker News

How to fetch: See references/trendshift-fetch-methods.md for TinyFish and GitHub API examples

2. GitHub Trending (Alternative)

Analysis Workflow

Phase 1: Fetch Trending List

  1. Fetch from TrendShift (primary source)
  2. Extract repo names (owner/repo format)
  3. Get first 10-20 repos (manageable batch)

Phase 2: Get Repo Details

For each repo, fetch from GitHub API:

  • Stars, forks, watchers
  • Description
  • Language
  • Topics
  • Created/updated dates

Batch strategy:

  • Fetch 10 repos at a time
  • If rate limited, wait or use cached data

Phase 3: Categorize by Usefulness

For each repo, assess:

A. Relevance Score
Factor Weight Criteria
Stars 30% > 10K = high, 1K-10K = medium, < 1K = low
Description match 30% Keywords match user's interests
Language 20% User's tech stack (Python, TypeScript, Rust)
Recency 10% Updated in last 30 days
Topics 10% Relevant tags (ai, agent, skills, tools)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
