About the project

A safe, private runtime for autonomous AI agents: isolated sandbox containers governed by declarative YAML policies restricting filesystem, network, and process access. Manages credential injection for agents like Claude, Codex, OpenCode, and Copilot.

Useful for
  • Run a coding agent in an isolated sandbox with restricted network access
  • Configure a YAML policy allowing only GET requests to the GitHub API
  • Deploy the OpenShell gateway to Kubernetes via Helm chart

2.6 Cooling Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of November 2, 2026, 21:46 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

GitNova spotted this repository 24 days before it took off on Hacker News.

Stars per day

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-02 (UTC), 00:10–21:35: 20906 → 20971 stars (+65). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +72 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • Interest is fading: the two-day pace is 20% of the previous week and a half.
  • Hacker News: “Nvidia OpenShell” — 508 points, 11 days ago.
  • About 8 forks a day — people are taking the code.

Measured growth: the last 7 completed days

New stars over 7 days: 1,004. -70% versus the preceding 7 days.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
