## Useful for

- Run the agent in a repository to complete a long autonomous task while preserving progress across sessions
- Spawn subagents via rlm.spawn to work on parts of a codebase in parallel
- Use /refine to persist working patterns as skills and memories for future sessions

## Why it’s here

- 14 stars so far today, about 28 expected by the end of the day.
- GitHub Trending Rust today: #6, +51 stars.
- About 12 forks a day — people are taking the code.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

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

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.
