sv-number/mcp-server advertises tools for Claude, Claude Code, Cline, Cursor, and Windsurf that order a private number, read the incoming SMS verification code, and hand it back. Pure star velocity, no contribution, which usually means people are bookmarking rather than building. SMS OTP was the last widely deployed "prove you're a human with a phone" control on signup flows. It's now a three-line tool call. If your product treats phone verification as a bot gate, assume that gate is open.

JuliusBrussee/caveman hit 54,000+ GitHub stars in under three weeks and topped Hacker News. The repo is exactly what it sounds like: a skill that strips agent verbosity, kills the "I'd be happy to help" preamble, and makes Claude answer in terse, near-grunt prose while keeping...
diegosouzapw/OmniRoute added 1,343 stars on July 20, a single MIT-licensed gateway across 268+ providers (50+ free) and 500+ models including Claude, GPT, Gemini, Kimi K3, GLM and DeepSeek, wired for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Cline and Copilot. Quota-aware automatic fallback...

wanshuiyin/HERO-Anti-OverDefense went from creation to 68 stars in a single day. HERO is Hashing, Edge cases, Rubrics, Overbuild, and the claim is that agent over-engineering isn't diffuse but falls into four recognizable shapes suppressible with a portable prompt contract acr...
Caveman is at 94,167 stars as a single skill for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Copilot, and 30+ others, stripping conversational filler while keeping code, commands, and error strings byte-for-byte exact. The README's worked example compresses a 69-token...
bradautomates/claude-video (v0.2.0, July 1) lets agents download, frame-extract, and transcribe any video via yt-dlp, ffmpeg, and Whisper, then hand it to Claude's multimodal Read (GitHub). It ships as an Agent Skill usable across 50+ agents: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini...
