cbrock84/headcount appeared August 28 and reached 482 stars in two days. It structures an agent organization as a company: a chief executive over 16 departments holding 143 skills, where each department is an independently installable plugin so a project loads only what it needs. Skills are addressed as department:skill (security:threat-modeling, finance:unit-economics) so names never collide, installed through the Claude Code plugin marketplace under MIT. (GitHub) Clearest answer I've seen to skill-namespace collisions in large libraries.

A spec is a press release until someone who didn't write it implements it. GitHub made Agent Plugins 1.0 generally available on August 12 across VS Code, Copilot CLI, the Copilot SDK, and the Copilot app on all plans. The spec, published August 6, was co-authored by AWS, Anysp...
A Chinese lab shipped a runtime that manages two American coding agents as subagents, and it went from repo creation to 145,439 stars in four days. deepseek-ai/deepseek-harness published dsh-v0.1.0-rc.7 at 12:01 UTC today, its first tagged release since the repo appeared on Au...

312 stars and 24 forks within 24 hours of appearing August 11, MIT (GitHub). Notable for targeting three harnesses at once, which puts it in the emerging agent-agnostic UI layer category rather than single-vendor plugin territory. One day old, no releases, no independent verif...
A GitHub repo cataloging Claude Code tips doesn't normally warrant a top story. But shanraisshan/claude-code-best-practice at 53.4K stars isn't a tips list anymore. It's the de facto reference for how an entire generation of developers is learning to work with AI coding agents...
Three things happened this month that only make sense together. Agent Plugins 1.0 shipped co-signed by six competitors: AWS, Anysphere, Microsoft, OpenAI, Vercel and Google (GitHub Changelog). It makes skills-plus-MCP bundles portable across clients. OpenAI's August 11 Codex c...
