Issue #2 — Agents earn their keep
Week two, and the labs came out swinging — Anthropic shipped twice in one day and Google put computer use in its fast model. Meanwhile the trending pages tell their own story: security agents and agent multiplexers. The agents aren't the demo anymore; they're the workforce.
The tools
Open-source AI pentesting agent — 37K stars — that probes your app for vulnerabilities before someone else does.
Attackers automated first; this is the cheapest way to make sure your side is automated too.
Agent multiplexer for your terminal — run and juggle several AI agents in parallel (12K stars).
If you run more than one agent, tab chaos is real — this is tmux energy for the agent era.
Google's format spec for describing visual identity and design rules to AI coding agents.
Your agent stops guessing your brand colours — it's a README for taste, and it's about time.
Desktop environment for running multiple AI coding agents in parallel, on your own subscriptions.
herdr with a GUI — when the same idea trends twice in one week, the pattern is the story.
