# deillusion/Aha-Engine > A local-first Node.js research prototype that uses random cognitive operators to push LLM agents toward unconventional ideas instead of template answers, with a web workbench, CLI and MCP server. - Magnitude: 1.6 out of 10 — Steady - Stars: 278 total · +0 stars on 2026-09-27 (UTC), ≈ 16 by evening - Star trust: star growth looks organic - Category: AI agents · Language: JavaScript · Created: 2026-09-10 · Last push: 2026-09-23 - GitHub: https://github.com/deillusion/Aha-Engine · Page: https://gitnova.dev/en/r/deillusion/Aha-Engine ## Useful for - Run npm run demo to verify the pipeline works without an API key - Connect Aha as an MCP tool to Claude Code or Cursor for mechanism brainstorming - Compare treatment and independent experiments on one question with a fixed seed ## Why it’s here - 0 stars so far today, about 16 expected by the end of the day. - The repository is 17 days old and already has 278 stars. ## 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: 4 - Issues and pull requests: 0 - Watchers: 2 - Average over the last week: 24 per day - Usual pace: 8 per day ## Stars per day, last 30 days (oldest → newest, today is partial) 2026-09-30 … 2026-10-29: None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None ## Magnitude by day, last 14 days 09-14 3.8, 09-15 0.8, 09-16 1.3, 09-17 2.0, 09-18 2.1, 09-19 1.5, 09-20 1.4, 09-21 1.6, 09-22 1.8, 09-23 1.8, 09-24 1.7, 09-25 1.9, 09-26 2.0, 09-27 1.6 --- 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.
