## Useful for

- Bootstrap a Spec-Driven Development workflow in a new project via specify init and /speckit-* commands
- Assess a raw idea through the intake→research→define→shape→decide flow with the assess extension
- Run a scoped assess→fix→test bug-fixing cycle using the bug extension

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-29 (UTC), 00:03–05:42: 143660 → 143724 stars (+64). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +307 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- Over the last two days the pace is 2× that of the previous week and a half.
- Elevated gains were measured on the last 2 completed UTC days in a row. Continued growth is not guaranteed.
- GitHub Trending Python today: #6, +361 stars.
- About 36 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.

## Numbers

- Forks: 12,873
- Issues and pull requests: 4,594
- Watchers: 721
- Average over the last week: 233 per day
- Usual pace: 164 per day
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 7
- Latest release: v1.2.5 (2026-10-28)

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.
