awesome-lists

awesome-lists is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from rustykuntz/clideck. It costs 37 tokens per session (1,498 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for getting an open-source repository added to GitHub “awesome lists,” which are curated collections of useful projects. It covers finding suitable lists, matching their required format, and preparing submissions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare repository descriptions in long, medium, and short forms, then submit them through the appropriate pull requests or issue discussions.
Why use it?
It removes the guesswork from choosing relevant lists and writing entries that fit their rules and style.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: mentions Claude Code; mentions Codex; mentions Gemini CLI.

Not installable: its command points at a path on the author’s own machine, so it runs nowhere else. The line is /Users/rusty/Projects/temp/gpt-oss-20b-MXFP4-Q8.

Getting it into your agent

There is no command for this one: it runs only inside a plugin, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it. The source is linked below.

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

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

awesome-lists 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 8d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 149 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Publish to GitHub Awesome Lists

Get our repo listed in popular GitHub awesome lists to drive organic discovery.

Step 1: Craft the entry message

Before searching for lists, decide what to say. Read our README.md carefully — match its tone exactly (lowercase, direct, Karpathy-style, no marketing language).

Write three versions of the entry description:

  • Long (~2 sentences) — for lists that allow detailed entries
  • Medium (~1 sentence) — for standard lists
  • Short (under 15 words) — for tight table formats

Rules:

  • No "your" — it's a marketing trap
  • No adjectives like "powerful", "seamless", "cutting-edge", "revolutionary"
  • Lead with what it looks like to use (e.g. "WhatsApp-like interface") — concrete references everyone understands
  • Highlight the three differentiators: chat-style multi-agent UI, autopilot routing while afk, mobile remote
  • State what it does, not what it "enables" or "empowers"

Show the drafts to the user for approval before proceeding.

Step 2: Search for awesome lists

Use the internal search tool to find candidate lists:

(cd /Users/rusty/Projects/temp/gpt-oss-20b-MXFP4-Q8 && npm run search:cli -- '{"queries":[
  "awesome AI coding agents CLI tools github list site:github.com",
  "awesome AI development tools terminal agents github site:github.com",
  "awesome list claude code codex gemini CLI agents site:github.com",
  "awesome open source AI tools agents frameworks github site:github.com",
  "awesome AI code assistants IDE tools github list site:github.com",
  "awesome terminal tools developer productivity AI github site:github.com",
  "awesome AI agents autonomous coding tools curated list site:github.com"
]}')

You can send up to 7 queries at once. Results arrive as JSON with results[].items[].link and .title.

Extract unique GitHub repo URLs from results.

Step 3: Evaluate candidates

For each repo found, get the star count:

gh api "repos/OWNER/REPO" --jq '.stargazers_count'

Run this in a batch for all candidates. Sort by stars descending.

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.
