The updater fetched GitHub metadata and rendered the dashboard payload in a single step, so anything that published the site needed a GITHUB_TOKEN. Cloudflare Pages builds from a Git webhook and has no business holding one. Split the tool into three modes. The default update step still fetches GitHub and now records every API-sourced field in data/metadata.json, which is committed alongside README.md and data/history.jsonl. The new -build mode joins that snapshot with data/agents.yml and data/history.jsonl to render dist/ with no network access and no token; -check is unchanged. Supporting changes: - computeDeltaAt anchors the delta windows to when the data was fetched rather than the wall clock, so a redeploy days later reproduces the same Δ7d instead of sliding the window past its slack allowance. - writeSiteData takes updatedAt explicitly for the same reason: the timestamp labels data freshness, not build time. - sortStats is extracted from fetchStats so the build step re-ranks identically from committed metadata. - An agents.yml entry with no metadata yet is omitted with a warning instead of failing the build, which would otherwise block every deploy between merging a new entry and the next nightly run. - update.yml drops the GitHub Pages deploy steps and commits data/metadata.json; ci.yml runs `go run . -build` so a build that would break on deploy breaks in CI first. - site/_headers stops the edge serving a stale data.json after a refresh. - docs/DEPLOY.md covers the Cloudflare setup, including the one-time bootstrap of data/metadata.json that the build depends on. Also carries the in-progress curation work already in the tree: the module rename to awesome-ai-dev-tools, retagged entries, and removal of the archived Roo-Code, void, continue and suna entries.

How it works
data/agents.ymlis the curated source list.- A daily GitHub Actions workflow (
.github/workflows/update.yml) runs the Go updater. - The updater fetches live repo metadata via the GitHub GraphQL API in one batched query.
- Star counts are appended to
data/history.jsonlfor 7-day delta computation. - This
README.mdanddata/metadata.jsonare regenerated and committed back to the repo. - That push triggers Cloudflare Pages, which runs
go run . -buildto render the dashboard from the committed data — no API token needed at build time. See docs/DEPLOY.md.
Δ7d: Change in stars over the past 7 days; — means fewer than 7 days of history.
Contributing
Inclusion criteria — a repo belongs on this list when it is:
- A developer tool built around AI — something a developer uses to build software, where an LLM is central to what it does. That covers agents that write, edit, or review code; agent development environments that run and coordinate them; and AI-assisted editors, terminals, and review tools. Libraries, SDKs, model weights, and prompt or skill collections are out of scope — this list ranks tools you use, not building blocks you import.
- At least 1,000 GitHub stars — a hard floor, enforced by the updater. An entry below it is dropped from the ranking automatically, so the threshold is never waived for an individual entry.
- Open source and actively maintained — no push in 6 months means the entry is dropped. The daily run flags anything past 3 months for review, so the ranking reflects tools people can actually use today.
Archived or abandoned repos are kept only when they are historically significant, and are marked as such in data/agents.yml.
Add an agent to data/agents.yml:
agents:
- owner: github-username-or-org
repo: repository-name
tags: [terminal, byo-model, interactive, community]
Tags describe a tool across five facets — the dashboard filters on them, OR within a facet and AND across facets:
| Facet | Tags |
|---|---|
| Surface (at least one) | terminal · editor-plugin · ide · desktop · web · self-hosted |
| Model access | byo-model · single-vendor · local-models |
| Workflow | interactive · autonomous · review · app-builder · research · orchestration |
| Integration | mcp · acp · headless |
| Origin (at most one) | vendor · community |
Apply a tag only when the repo's own README, docs, or topics back it up. See docs/CONTRIBUTING.md for what each tag means.
Open a PR. The next daily run picks it up automatically.
PRs are validated automatically by CI (go run . -check): owner/repo must be non-empty and look like a real GitHub slug, every tag must come from the vocabulary above with at least one surface tag and at most one origin tag, and duplicates (case-insensitive) are rejected.
