# THUROI0787/absent-author

> An evidence list and two agent skills for spotting research papers that AI produced with no human behind them: a surface-trace linter, reference and number verification, and a reviewer screening skill.

- Magnitude: 2.9 out of 10 — Early signal
- Stars: 77 total · +1 star measured 2026-10-09, 01:30–03:38 UTC, ≈ 31 by evening
- Star trust: star growth looks organic
- Category: AI agents · Language: Python · License: MIT · Created: 2026-10-05 · Last push: 2026-10-07

## Useful for

- Run slop_lint.py over a paper folder to get surface traces for human review
- Verify references in refs.bib with ref_verify.py, including the last author
- Triage a suspicious preprint with paper-slop-screen and get a draft review with quotes

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-09 (UTC), 01:30–03:38: 76 → 77 stars (+1). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +31 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 4 days old and already has 77 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #194.

## 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: 2
- Issues and pull requests: 3
- Watchers: 1
- Average over the last week: 24 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 1
- Latest release: v0.5.0 (2026-10-07)

## Stars per day, last 6 days (oldest → newest, today is partial)

2026-10-04 … 2026-10-09: 0, 25, 19, 3, 41, 1

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.
