Big Idea
The argument in one line.
The most popular GitHub repos of the week share one trait: they repackage existing tools and platforms into simpler, local-first, AI-searchable versions that people trust more than official sites or paid subscriptions.
Who This Is For
Read if. Skip if.
READ IF YOU ARE…
You use Claude Code, Codex, or another coding agent daily and want to know which new open-source tools are worth installing this week.
You're tired of paying recurring fees for things like personal finance tracking, mouse software, or video generation and want self-hosted alternatives.
You want a fast, AI-searchable way to discover vetted plugins and prompt libraries instead of manually browsing marketplace websites.
SKIP IF…
You want a deep technical tutorial on any single repo. This is a rapid-fire weekly roundup, not a how-to.
You're not interested in early-stage, still-incubating open-source projects that may not be maintained long term.
TL;DR
The full version, fast.
Two hosts count down the ten hottest GitHub repos of the week, all built to replace either a paid tool or a slow, human-oriented website with something faster and AI-friendly. Anthropic's Claude Plugins Community condenses 2,282 security-scanned plugins into a format an AI agent can search instantly. Omarchy turns an old, unsupported Mac into a modern Linux machine and has pulled in $10 million in funding for its Basecamp-backed creator. OpenAI's Codex is a fully open-source terminal coding agent anyone can fork and customize. FreeLLMAPI chains together 34 free AI model tiers into one endpoint so a coding agent never runs out of tokens, and Securo is a self-hosted personal finance app that connects to 2,500 banks without selling your data.

Atomic Insights
Lines worth screenshotting.
Anthropic's official plugin marketplace website is built for humans to browse, but a companion GitHub repo condenses the same 2,282 plugins into a format AI agents can search directly.
Every plugin in Anthropic's claude-plugins-community repo passes an automated security scan before it's listed, addressing the real risk that a plugin runs arbitrary code and scripts on your machine.
DHH's Linux distro Omarchy added 5,000 GitHub stars in six days, and its creator raised his funding round from $8 million to $10 million in the span of a week.
Omarchy's real pitch is reviving old, unsupported Mac hardware with a Linux desktop styled to feel as seamless as macOS.
OpenAI's Codex CLI is fully open source, unlike Claude Code, so anyone can fork it, swap in a cheaper model, and rebrand it as their own coding agent.
OpenLogi is a from-scratch Rust rewrite of Logitech's device software, built because the official app is bloated, requires an account, and reportedly sends usage data back to Logitech.
The Apache Foundation is incubating its own local AI agent workspace, and Apache's decades-long track record of maintaining infrastructure like the Apache web server makes it a safer long-term bet than a single company's agent tool.
Mojo 1.0 shipped with a stability promise that its standard-library APIs won't break, targeting Python-like ease of use with C or C++-level performance for AI workloads.
FreeLLMAPI stacks 34 different companies' free AI tiers behind one endpoint and switches providers automatically when a tier runs out, totaling roughly 7.4 billion free tokens a month across all of them.
Securo is a self-hosted personal finance tracker that connects to over 2,500 banks and never sends your financial data to a third party's server.
Securo connects to banks through SimpleFIN, a bank-data bridge that costs about $1.50 a month or $15 a year, dramatically cheaper than most personal finance SaaS.
Takeaway
Ten weekly repos, one repeating pattern
BUILD PATTERNS
The tools people actually adopted this week made an existing platform faster, cheaper, or safer to use rather than inventing something new from scratch.
01Claude Plugins Community
A repository of 2,282 community-built plugins matters less for what it contains than for the format: it's structured so an AI agent can search and pick a plugin in seconds instead of a human scrolling a marketplace page.
Every plugin in this collection passes an automated security scan before it's listed, but that's a floor, not a guarantee: a plugin is code that runs on your machine, so treat installing one with the same suspicion as installing an unfamiliar desktop app.
02Awesome GPT Image 2
Reverse-engineering someone else's finished image into a copyable, reusable prompt is a faster way to learn a technique than trying to write the prompt from scratch by guessing.
The best version of this kind of prompt library would let you scan by thumbnail before committing to generate, since generating images is slow enough that browsing text descriptions alone wastes time.
03Omarchy
A tool doesn't need mass appeal to be worth building. Reviving old, otherwise-abandoned hardware is a narrow use case, but it's specific enough that the people who need it will find it and champion it hard.
5,000 new stars in six days is what happens when a tool solves a real, previously unaddressed complaint: the maker's official OS quietly stopped supporting older machines.
04Zapier MCP and SDK
Giving an AI agent broad access to your accounts without an audit layer is a real risk, not a hypothetical one: an agent with unrevoked email access kept reading messages even after the connection was canceled.
A safe-connection layer like MCP is real infrastructure. It draws the line between an agent doing one authorized chore and an agent having free rein over your accounts.
05OpenLogi
Rewriting a piece of proprietary hardware software from scratch, in the open, is a viable response to bloated official software that forces logins, tracks usage, and phones data home for something as simple as a mouse.
A single lightweight, cross-platform tool covering multiple pieces of hardware (mouse, keyboard, stream deck) is more valuable than a pile of separate vendor apps, even if each vendor app is individually more full-featured.
06OpenAI Codex
Open source versus closed source changes who can extend a tool: Codex being open means anyone can fork it, swap in a cheaper or different model, and ship their own branded version, something not possible with a closed tool like Claude Code.
An open coding agent works as raw material, not a finished product. Forking it, swapping in your own model, and shipping it under a new name is a legitimate strategy.
07Apache Maka
Longevity is its own feature. A brand-new AI agent workspace competes on capability, but a project backed by an institution with a decades-long maintenance track record competes on the guarantee that it will still exist in a few years.
Don't build a business on top of tools that might not survive six months. If you're picking infrastructure to depend on, weight who's behind it as heavily as what it currently does.
08Modular / Mojo
A 1.0 release with a stability promise, meaning the standard library APIs won't break, is a meaningful signal for a new programming language: the project is no longer in a phase where every point release can break your code.
If you're writing throwaway code that an LLM generates and mostly just needs to run fast, a language purpose-built for that, Python-like syntax with near-C performance, is worth evaluating over defaulting to Python.
09MoneyPrinterTurbo
An open-source, non-upselling alternative to a commercial video tool wins trust specifically by not trying to upsell you mid-workflow. That absence of a sales funnel is itself a feature worth naming.
Combining AI generation with existing stock footage and audio, instead of forcing 100% synthetic output, produces more usable results across a wider range of video styles.
10FreeLLMAPI
Free tiers from AI providers are inherently unstable. Some are accidental generosity that gets clawed back once people abuse it, so a strategy built on stacking free tiers needs to expect churn, not treat it as permanent.
Routing across many small free allocations, and paying a small fee just to keep the routing list current, is a legitimate hedge against the volatility of any single provider's free tier.
11Securo
Self-hosting your own financial data avoids more than subscription fees. It also cuts out the repeated upsell calls and platform lock-in that follow when a service you depend on gets acquired and repositioned around you.
A small, flat, transparent fee for a data connection, in this case a bank-data bridge, is a healthier trust signal than a 'free' service that makes its money some other way.
12Audience Repos and Sign-off
Publicly asking your audience to submit what they've built, and then actually featuring it, is a low-cost way to source real examples and build audience buy-in at the same time.
Glossary
Terms worth knowing.
MCP
Model Context Protocol, a standard that lets an AI agent connect to and call tools like apps or APIs through one unified connection instead of a custom integration for each one.
LSP
Language Server Protocol, a standard that gives coding tools features like autocomplete and error checking for a specific programming language.
Incubating (Apache Foundation)
A formal status at the Apache Software Foundation for a project that is not yet a full top-level project but is being vetted and supported on the way to that status.
AGPL-3.0
A software license, the Affero GPL, that requires anyone who modifies the code and runs it as a network service to release their changes as open source too.
SimpleFIN
A lightweight bridge service that lets personal finance apps pull transaction data directly from a user's bank for a small flat fee instead of routing through a data broker.

You're about to get loads of Anthropic approved clog plug ins. Do have an old computer? I've got software that will bring it to life.
I have a funny way for you to get tons of free coding agents and so much more. Links below and so are the chapter marks. Let's get into it.
Presented by Zapier, the AI automation company. Adam, the hottest repo of the week is from Anthropic Claude plugins community.
It is a collection of over 2,000 plugins for Claude. And here's the amazing part.
Not only are they useful, they are security scanned for you, and you can use them in Claude code, Claude co work. I I like this a lot. Why though why do we need this?
It's already available on their website. I can just go into their site and see it.
Yeah. I think the website is great if you are a human and you're trying to scroll and search and discover and learn and you wanna open 10 tabs. But but your AI doesn't wanna scroll through this long page.
It doesn't wanna go to the next page. AI really wants really condensed information. So they've made this repository to condense all of this down so that AI can pick it quickly.
And you can ask, hey, Claude, can you help me find a plug in for managing my dog's finance? And then it'll go and search the the this repository
And here's really quickly, really efficiently, and come back with an answer for you. Alright. I do like this a lot, largely because I know from our audience how many people are freaked out by connecting things to their AI that nobody has checked.
Well, and I wanna point out, Andrew, like skills, there's there's debate on whether or not they're dangerous. Plug ins can absolutely be dangerous.
These come with code that will run on your computer. They come with scripts. They come with software.
You should be just as careful installing somebody's plug in as you would, you know, installing some Mac app. And you should think, are these people gonna steal my information? Are they gonna steal my passwords?
All of that is possible through a plug in. So download it in through this, like, security scanned, vetted, uh, database.
That's a great idea. Okay. Great.
Let's go on to the next, which is awesome gbt image two. You know how, um, if I were going to share software with you, I would give you the code.
This is the equivalent for images. If I wanna share an image with you and allow you to recreate it or do something with it, this is a collection of prompts that will allow you to do it. I find that this site is the best way to see it.
And if you take a look, you can see, for example, here, this image. Here is the, um, prompt that I can copy that use it that that made it. I can favorite it.
I can use it myself. And in fact, I have, and I'd like to show this to people. Here is the prompt, and here is my run.
I just put it in. You can see this is my codex, uh, screen.
Very similar to what they have. Obviously, not the exact same thing.
Who who's the sort of person that would use this, Andrew?
I don't know. I feel like partially it's because we're all trying to get better images, and we wanna see what am I saying that's different from what you're saying because you get better results. I would love it if what they had, for example, was a thumbnail, uh, set of prompts.
I don't think they have that, but for something like that, if I'm trying to, like, reverse engineer
a design, I would really like to see that. That's a good point because it takes a long time to generate images. And so if you wanna like scroll through this and get, oh, this like blow up one is a great example probably This where right here.
Yeah. How would I write this prompt from scratch? Right.
It would take me a long time. I understand, oh, I would come here, I'd copy and paste this prompt, and then I'd probably edit the sections that I wanted to be different. And I'd trust that I would get something out that would look very similar to this.
Is that right? Yeah.
They've got charts, infographics, everything organized here, and it is available for you. By the way, I'm skipping through a lot of pages these days, and all of this is available for you to download if you wanna use this yourself or to click around.
Let's go to number three. Omarchi. Oh, I said something last week that got me a lot of blowback.
Okay. Let's first talk about what this is. How would you describe this, Adam?
Uh, you know, it's some blend between Mac and Linux, and it's more Linux y than Macky. But the idea is, hey. You think Linux might be a little too nerdy for you?
It's hard to install or it doesn't run on your computer? We're gonna take that and make it as seamless as Mac is, which is like the gold standard for seamless.
And it's from DHH, the guy behind Basecamp, Ruby on Rails, so many things. Um, he obviously has a big, uh, track record of creating software that people love, and he raised money.
In fact, he talked we about him last week. He and I went back and forth a little bit in an, uh, email exchange, and I congratulated him for raising $8,000,000. And he goes, yeah.
Actually, we're now at $10,000,000. Um, and so they're they're building it up, and I can see this being very exciting as an alternative to Mac and Windows. And here's why, because of what the audience said.
I said, who the hell needs another piece of software? And, Adam, the examples that I got from people who said I have this old machine here, I feel bad just keeping it on a shelf. This works on the old machine is amazing.
In fact, here, this is Boyd who said, I've got an old machine here. And not only that, I would also like Touch ID to work on it. And DHH is in there going, okay.
Let's talk. And they started DMing and and talking about how they can possibly make it work. Very exciting.
Andrew, that's a great point. The the new versions of Mac don't even run on these old computers anymore. That's what people said.
Isn't supporting them. Like, this is a way to, like, make those machines come back to life with modern software, modern yeah. Okay.
I'm I'm more convinced than I was even ten minutes ago. You know what? I have and I'm I've gotta figure this out.
I have an old MacBook Air that I think is so beautiful. It cannot do jack. I can't even use it for my kids' stuff, but it's too beautiful for me to throw away.
I packed it up into storage. And if I can get it out before we move to Mexico, I wanna bring it with me and just have fun trying this out. I totally get it.
You all are right. Thank you for the pushback. Let's move on.
Oh, speaking of. So Zapier, we've talked about their MCP. This is a way of giving your agents access to over 8,000 tools in a safe way so that they don't run around and do some things like, uh, there's something called, I think, inception that everyone's been talking about, this agent took over Claire Vo's email.
And even after she canceled it, it had access to all her old messages. She's like, what the hell are you people doing? This helps you get protection.
Beyond that, there is Zapier SDK. And I've talked to the team over there, and I said, me some examples. They said, well, how many times you software for outsiders or even people within your team, and you want those people to connect it to their Notion account or to their tools that they want?
Well, you can figure out how to build that in or just use Zapier SDK, and then your users will be able to connect to their software. You create the software. Zapier SDK allows your users to connect it to all their other apps.
That's what it's there for. Go check them out. And, we're not calling Zapier anymore.
We're calling Zapier because everyone every time I say Zapier, they think about the old if this, then that type product. No. They do so much more.
Go check them out. Let's move on to the next. Okay.
This is called OpenLogi or OpenLogi. This is for people who love Logitech mice and other tools but hate their freaking software and hate that it doesn't run on Linux.
And so someone created a tool that allows you to use the hardware and use it on your Yeah. Computer. What do you think?
You gotta accept this one. I don't care if it runs on Linux. I don't like how their software runs on my Mac.
It's bloated. You've gotta log in. You gotta reset your password.
They ask your birthday. Like, I just want the thing to work. And these, like, when I saw this, like, oh, I want this for all my hardware.
I don't wanna install an app for my mouse and an app for my keyboard and an app for Mhmm. You know, my stream deck, whatever. I wish I had all these, like, cool little open source tools to run everything.
So I'm gonna go and search after this. This is fan freaking tastic. Uh, people are also really upset that Logitech is sending data back home.
Like, you're just connecting a mouse. It should be between me and my computer. You should not take any of this.
Really love how much it's grown.
By the way, we are still since we can't get the star charts from that site and since GitHub is not giving it to us, I am still every day collecting all the the star data, and I hope I'm getting this right. I'm working really hard to get the only star chart available.
Uh, and I've got video of someone here who's installing and talking about the issues, and you'll all have it if you want it in the download. Okay. OpenAI Codex.
I asked you why. Why do I need to go into GitHub to get Codex? Can I just get it from OpenAI on my computer?
What's the difference?
Well, that's an easy answer. Yeah. You totally can.
Uh, but what you might not realize is Codex, the app, the the command line interface you've been using, that's open source. It's free.
You can edit it. You can download the code. You know, Claude Code is not open source.
We don't know exactly how they've built it and what the prompts are, what the tools are. But Codex is open. You're free to download it and do whatever you want with.
So this is for tinkerers. This is here so that if you wanna change it, you wanna change how the prompts work, you wanna change the models that are in there, you wanna add some whole new interface to this, you can do anything you want to to Codex. OpenAI has has put it out there, and I think they have since the beginning.
This has always been open. So if I want a cheaper model in here and not even pay OpenAI, but I want their setup for communicating with it, this is how I do it. Yeah.
Well, and you could bundle it with your own. You know? You you could have Andrew x, and and, you know, you would clone this repository.
You'd call it Andrew x, and you'd set it up with your models and stuff. And then you would be free to distribute that as well.
Alright. Let's go on to the next one. Number six most popular of the week is from the Apache Foundation.
They are incubating their own AI agent workspace. Why do we need this? Why do we need another desktop app for running AI agents on my own machine where every obviously, where every model, tool, call, and permission is written to, uh, to an append only log so you can go back and see where your agent did?
Basically, why do we need another one of these things? What is this and why?
Yeah. You know, normally, Andrew, I would agree, and I'd say we probably don't need another one of these that's competitive with Hermes and, you know, all these other, like, agent systems that are out there. But Apache has built the the Internet, built a lot of tools.
The Apache web server is everywhere. I don't know how much web traffic it's still serving, but I'm sure it's, you know, close to the majority. When these guys get behind something and they build something, think of this as like infrastructure that's not going anywhere.
All these other projects that people are building, if it's a company running it or if it's an individual, was that gonna be maintained for the long haul? I don't know. Anything I see from Apache, it's, oh, this is gonna be around for a long time.
They're gonna do it very carefully. They're going to fund it. And this is something you know, if you wanna build a business, I would build a business on top of Apache software.
I'm not sure I would build a business on top of a bunch of Vibe coded agent tools that might not be around in another six months. Okay. Still early days on this one.
I couldn't figure out the exact same yet. This is this is you know, they call it incubating beta whatever. Yeah.
It's interesting. But but this is, like, a great development. This this is gonna be a a fixture going forward.
Next is, um, now that we've seen Apache, this is Mojo. This is, again, a repeat from last week.
What is this?
Yeah. You know, AI writes a lot of code. And if you ask it to process some data or whatever, it's got to write code to do that.
When it writes Python, for example, Python is slow. Python is slow to debug. It's slow to run.
And so Mojo was a new language that was invented pretty recently that exists to have this Python like flexibility, but with the performance of c or c plus plus which is a language that's much more difficult to write and read.
So they're trying to blend, you know, all these different things from different programming languages for AI for the modern era. It's new. So kind of like Maca, it's like, will it will it last the the long haul?
I don't know exactly. But it does seem to have a lot of traction behind it. And so it's definitely if you write a lot of throwaway code with LLMs,
this would be a thing that you should check out and maybe point your your AI to. By the way, if you're listening this far, I would love it if you told me in the chat which of these are helpful and which would you like us to do more of a deep dive on, and how, uh, how else would you like us to show you the hot repos that are going on on, uh, that are taken off on GitHub?
Let me know in the chat. Next money printer turbo. This keeps coming up.
And the reason it keeps coming up is it's a schlocky name, but it's a tool that really does something that people want, which is lets you create video either using all AI or just using AI to combine already existing video and audio and make it into a new video for yourself.
And this has been also a tool that others are building with, which is fantastic.
Yeah. Yeah. I think it's great.
You know, I I think of it as, like, cap cut but open source. Mhmm. And they're not trying to upsell you on anything while you're using it.
So you just get all the knobs. You can select whatever you want. You can integrate it with a bunch of different video, like b roll platforms or stock footage platforms, and get creating.
I'll just I play on hate to actually even show any of it because every video is different depending on the tool you use. Creative work rarely belongs as a perfect idea. It begins with rough notes, unfinished sketches, and ex But we've seen some really pretty things from it.
It's Yeah. It just keeps growing. It keeps doing well, and I'm glad to see it back.
And I'm glad to see again that I was wrong about that in the Okay. This one is, uh, this is gonna be so hot with our audience. I feel like this should have been number one, um, for the audience.
It's a stack of 34 free AI tiers that you can combine back to back to back. Every AI company almost gives away a free tier, but there's a limit to how much you can use.
And so somebody decided we're gonna collect it all and make it easy for you to switch from one to the other to the other and not run out. I think this is great. I think, potentially, it could violate some terms of service, but I think it's it's a fantastic tool.
Yeah. I mean, hard to argue. You know, you just sign up in in 50 different places and, oh, no.
I ran out of free tokens on OpenAI today. Well, now I've got some from, you know, DeepSeek, and now I've got some from Kimmy, and now I've got some so you just rotate through.
And, hopefully, by the time you've used all your free tokens, tomorrow, all those limits reset, and you can run them again.
And I think for people who are just absolutely going nuts creating stuff, letting their agent just go and experiment and do all kinds of stuff, this is fun. What's the deal with them being free but also offering $19 a year plan? Yeah.
That's funny. That doesn't seem so free. Although $19 is not a lot of money.
No. Yeah. I think I think what's happening here is
new models come out all the time. New free tiers come out all the time. Sometimes some of these free tiers were a little bit of an accident.
And when they get abused, then the company takes them back away. And so I don't expect that all of these are gonna work all of the time.
But if you want the updated, you know, up to the day updates of which one of these work and where can you get them and sign up here, then you pay that $19 and get access to that list as well. Fair enough. Fair enough.
I tend to look on Twitter, but I know I'm not seeing them all on Twitter.
Uh, last one, the number 10 hottest repo of the week is called Securo. It lets you see your net worth on your server.
It's connected to over 2,000 banks. I find this to be incredibly helpful especially now that QuickBooks is, uh, has abandoned individuals.
There are all kinds of alternatives, but they're so good at charging and charging and charging. And so this is one that will work on your system, Mac and Linux. You got Windows and you can connect your data directly.
And I'm gonna show you how cheap this is because I've used this, um, connection that they have. And then you get to see what's going on with your finances. I like this a lot.
Yeah.
That's really cool. I mean, I think this is in that same bucket of I wanna run it locally. I don't want someone to upsell me.
I just want all of my data. I want it to be secure. I don't trust all these other platforms.
And so if you could connect and store all of that yourself, that's pretty cool. I I appreciate that.
I used to use this platform called Personal Capital Mhmm. To manage all of this. It got bought out by somebody else.
And now I get a a phone call about once a week from the company that bought them saying, hey, do you wanna try our brokerage service? Hey, do you wanna try this? It's like, no.
I don't. I just wanted to look at all my different accounts.
And, you know, I I'm I'm gonna definitely go and check this after we get off the call today. Really nice. You don't have to say who are these people.
You see that it's on your system. I was showing this because this is the way that I connect to get my bank information. You just use Simplefin, a buck 50 a month.
Wow. Don't even know how could they afford to do it because there's still credit card processing fees there. Or 15 a year, which seems more reasonable.
They should just cut this and promote this. Yeah. But I'm glad that they have it.
And then you can ask your AI questions about your finances, which That's awesome. Like QuickBooks will not let you do. Alright.
Those are the top 10. Usually, what I wanna do every week, Adam, is ask the audience, please send me what you've got, and I wanna give your first stars. Adam, I've gotten messages from people who said I had no stars or one star before, and now it's thirty, forty, and it's all because of us.
And so I wanted to go through all this today, but I am moving to Mexico. I did not have a chance to go through all of this material to make sure that we have it right, and I don't wanna just read stuff off the screen that I didn't analyze and look at. I'm very excited about what you all have built.
I'm gonna move this over to next week, and I'm gonna show all of these next week. Look at this. This is, like, to see, to keep track of your usage.
I've been talking to him on email. Anyway, if it's if there's someone out there and you've who's built something, even if it's not on GitHub, sometimes people just send me random screenshots. I wanna see what you're building and making.
Here's the email address, and send it over, and I will go through these next week. And next week, I'm gonna be in Mexico.
Can you believe it? We're moving to Mexico for a year?
Yeah. I mean, that's awesome. I'm really excited for you.
I mean, for you, it's not that much. You you go overseas all the time. Yeah.
I mean, I I lived in Honduras for five or six years. And Yeah. But that that's that's sort of why, yes, I can believe it.
And I'm very excited because it's it's just gonna be a a whole new a whole new world. It's nothing like visiting for a week or a month. Living there is is, um, yeah, life changing.
Alright. Um, now that this is over, our number one video is me going over free repos, a free software that you can just get from GitHub that replaces your paid subscriptions.
It is blown up for us, and people are using it to create their own versions of software that is already on GitHub. I've got a link for you right here to see it, and I'm gonna see you in that video next.
The Hook
The bait, then the rug-pull.
Andrew Warner opens with a promise: an old computer you can bring back to life, a shortcut to free coding agents, and a stack of Anthropic-approved Claude plugins, all pulled from this week's fastest-growing GitHub repos.

Andrew Warner and Adam run down this week's most-starred GitHub repos — three AI design tools, a parallel-agent "tokenmaxxing" rig, a video-comprehension skill — and pull the geophysicist who built the #1 trending AI job-search framework on camera to explain how it got him hired.
Ben Senescu built OpenSEO to kill his own Semrush bill, wired it straight into Claude, and now watches open-source contributors fork it into CRMs and content tools he never planned to build.
Andrew Warner sits down with Matt Pocock to unpack the Claude Code skill library that passed 200,000 GitHub stars, and the small habits of alignment, pruning, and teaching baked into it.
Two hosts react to seven creators' first hands-on tests of OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol against Claude Fable 5 — and land on a manager/worker split, not a winner.
Andrew Warner spends a day cramming on "agent loops," then brings Matthew Berman on screen-share to react to five other creators' examples before showing off — and fixing — his own.
