Star gains cover Sep 14 to 20, 2026. Totals were checked on GitHub on October 16, 2026.
1. Open Code Review: Alibaba's AI code checker, now free
Stars: +15.0K this week · about 47.3K total
What it is: A command-line tool that reviews your code changes with AI. The README says it began as Alibaba Group's internal review assistant and served tens of thousands of developers over two years. It reads what you changed, sends it to the AI model you choose, and leaves comments tied to exact lines.
Who it's for: Developers and small teams who want a second pair of eyes before they ship.
Everyday use: Before you publish an update to your app, run one command and get a list of likely bugs.
Install it: You need Node.js. Copy and paste this:
npm install -g @alibaba-group/open-code-review
Then pick your AI model with ocr config provider, go to your project folder and run ocr review.
Let Claude or Codex do it:
Install Open Code Review from github.com/alibaba/open-code-review, help me set up a model, then review my latest changes and explain the findings simply.
💡 Tip: The README claims it is more precise than a general agent like Claude Code on its own benchmark, using about 1/9 of the tokens. That's the maker's test, so try it on your own code.

2. God's Eye View: still the coolest thing to show a friend
Stars: +10.2K this week · about 56.8K total
What it is: A browser-based 3D globe with live planes, ships, satellites, earthquakes and weather. It was number two the week before too.
Who it's for: Anyone who loves maps, travel or space.
Everyday use: Ask when the next satellite passes over your town.
Install it: One click with Pinokio: open God's Eye View there, click Install, then Start. Or in the terminal with Node.js 24 or 26:
git clone https://github.com/bilawalsidhu/gods-eye-view.git
cd gods-eye-view
npm ci
npm run doctor
npm run dev
Let Claude or Codex do it:
Install God's Eye View from github.com/bilawalsidhu/gods-eye-view, open it in my browser, and show me live satellites over my city.
3. ECC: the everything kit for AI coding
Stars: +6.3K this week · about 280.2K total
What it is: A large set of skills, memory and security rules for Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode. It turns a plain AI helper into one with ready-made routines.
Who it's for: People who live in Claude Code.
Everyday use: Run a ready-made planning command before a big change, instead of writing the prompt yourself.
Install it: You need Node.js 18+, Git and Claude Code 2.1+:
npx ecc-universal@2.2.3 setup
Let Claude or Codex do it:
Install ECC from github.com/affaan-m/ECC using its guided setup, explain each choice, and confirm it shows in /plugin list.
Step-by-step help is in our ECC guide.
4. i-have-adhd: shorter AI answers
Stars: +5.6K this week · about 57.3K total
What it is: A skill that makes AI helpers lead with the answer, number the steps and skip the filler. Last week's winner.
Who it's for: Anyone who skims.
Everyday use: Get "edit this file, line 42" instead of a lecture.
Install it: In Claude Code, run:
claude plugin marketplace add ayghri/i-have-adhd
claude plugin install i-have-adhd@i-have-adhd
Let Claude or Codex do it:
Install the i-have-adhd skill/plugin from https://github.com/ayghri/i-have-adhd, refer to the repo's AGENTS.md for instructions.
5. Orca: many AI coders, one window
Stars: +5.4K this week · about 93.3K total
What it is: A desktop app for running Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode or Pi side by side. Each one works in its own copy of your project, so they don't trip over each other. You use your own subscriptions. A phone app pings you when an agent finishes.
Who it's for: People who code with AI every day and want to compare answers.
Everyday use: Give the same task to three AI helpers, then keep the best result.
Install it: Download it from onorca.dev for Mac, Windows or Linux. On a Mac with Homebrew, copy and paste this:
brew install --cask stablyai/orca/orca
Let Claude or Codex do it:
Install Orca from github.com/stablyai/orca for my computer and show me how to run two AI coding helpers on the same task.
Which one should you try first?
- You ship code and want fewer bugs: install Open Code Review.
- You want a "wow" moment: open God's Eye View.
- You hate long AI replies: add i-have-adhd.
- You juggle several AI helpers: try Orca.
- You want the full power-user setup: go with ECC.
⚠️ Heads up: Running several AI helpers at once in Orca uses several subscriptions or API budgets at once. Watch your limits.
