# Balanov/shim

> A local-first AI harness shipped as a single static Go binary: connects any model via OpenAI-compatible or Anthropic APIs, MCP servers and Agent Skills, and accepts natural-language commands. No dependencies, telemetry or background daemons.

- Magnitude: 5.5 out of 10 — Early signal
- Stars: 220 total · +50 stars measured 2026-11-03, 01:16–02:41 UTC, ≈ 267 by evening
- Star trust: star growth looks organic
- Category: AI agents · Language: Go · License: MIT · Created: 2026-11-02 · Last push: 2026-11-02
- GitHub: https://github.com/Balanov/shim · Page: https://gitnova.dev/en/r/Balanov/shim

## Useful for

- Run a one-shot agent task in a repository via shim run with --read-only
- Connect a local Ollama or LM Studio model and use it as the command router
- Add an MCP server and call its tools from the terminal with confirmation

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-03 (UTC), 01:16–02:41: 170 → 220 stars (+50). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +267 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 1 day old and already has 220 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #122.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 0
- Issues and pull requests: 0
- Watchers: 2
- Average over the last week: 246 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 35
- Latest release: v0.1.0 (2026-11-02)

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
