This week, Andrew Warner and Adam break down 10 trending GitHub repos, from AI code security and context management to multi-agent workflows, knowledge graphs, and tools for running entire projects with AI.

They start with Alibaba’s Open Code Review, a tool that automatically checks code for security and other issues and can generate detailed HTML reports. Then they revisit I Have ADHD, which makes AI coding responses shorter and easier to scan, and God’s Eye View, which turns public data like traffic, cameras, and flight information into an interactive map.

The conversation also covers ECC’s engineering workflows and test-driven development, Context Mode’s approach to reducing context overhead, Tencent’s WeKnora for turning files into a searchable AI-powered knowledge graph, and OpenAI Plugins for extending coding agents with specialized tools and skills. They also explain Git worktrees and how Worktrunk lets multiple AI agents work on separate copies of the same project, plus Addy Osmani’s Agent Skills for a structured plan → build → test → review → ship workflow. Finally, they look at the Claude Code GitHub repo and why it exists even though Claude Code itself isn’t open source.
