Consistency & methodology notes

A small verified sample was checked first (Ruflo, Graphify, Kolibri, HappyRobot), each fact checked against its primary source, then scaled to the full board across all five categories. Items are labelled Verified where a figure came from GitHub itself or reputable first-party press, and reported where it rests on a single aggregator or secondary source a lab or company has not directly confirmed.

What changed this refresh (as of 11 August): six new movers added, headlined by Cloudflare's “Agents Week” — Kitesurf (agent-first browser) and Cloudflare Wallets / cloudflare.pay (agent identity + stablecoin payments), both confirmed via TechCrunch and Cloudflare's own press/changelog. Also new: Meta's Muse Code (repo-scale terminal agent) and Muse Glimmer model, OpenAI Agent Plugins (interop standard), and Drata AI Agent Governance. No new funding rounds surfaced this window; Ruflo's star count and prior funding figures are unchanged (flat).

• GitHub star counts are point-in-time snapshots captured 11 August 2026, and move continuously. Ruflo (ruvnet/ruflo) read 67.6k stars / 8.1k forks; Graphify (rhanka/graphify) read 16 stars / 4 forks.
• Name-collision watch — “Graphify”: the reference example is a small, fast-nascent skill repo (rhanka/graphify, 16 stars). A separate fork chain exists (safishamsi/graphify → collabsoft/ai_graphify, 0 stars), and several SEO blogs claim “85,000+ stars” for “Graphify” — that figure is unverified and does not match any live repo; treat it as fabricated content-farm inflation, not a real number.
• Name-collision watch — “Kolibri”: Konecta's enterprise agentic platform “Kolibri” is distinct from unrelated GitHub repos spelled “colibri”. Konecta's launch is confirmed via CMSWire and AIThority (16 June 2026).
• Foundation-model dates carry caveats. Most August-2026 model details come from release-tracker aggregators, not lab pages, so specs and parameters are marked “reported.” Example discrepancy: Claude Opus 5 is dated 24 July 2026 by one tracker but “August 2026” by another — carried here as late July, flagged.
• Pricing and single-source claims (the Codex price cut, Gemini Spark's $99.99/mo, per-token model pricing) are marked “reported” pending first-party confirmation.
• Funding figures (HappyRobot, Convex, Sapiom) are from a 5 August 2026 TechStartups VC roundup — a secondary but editorial source; round sizes and valuations should be treated as reported until an official announcement is located.
• Freshness bias: the board prioritises items from roughly the last 2–4 weeks. Where an item is a still-dominant carryover, the “why it matters” note says what changed this week.
