Signals

These share tags the maintainers applied themselves, such as apple-silicon, macos, swift, containerization. Common tags like "mcp" or "ai" are ignored for this: agreeing with six hundred other projects is not a similarity.

This is not a recommendation and not a test result. It is a map of what the authors said their work is about.

We take apart real AI setups every week and show what broke, what cost too much, and what the trace actually said. If you run agents on real work, that is where the useful conversation is.
