About the project

firstmate is an "agent distro": a portable set of instructions, skills, and scripts that turns a general-purpose coding agent into a "first mate" that spawns and supervises a crew of autonomous agents in separate git worktrees and tmux sessions.

Useful for
  • Run several tasks on one repo in parallel without collisions using separate worktrees
  • Have the first mate agent conduct a code investigation and produce a standalone report
  • Automate delivery of changes as finished PRs or approved local merges

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

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 19, 2026, 23:51 UTC.

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

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 2026-10-19 (UTC), 00:10–23:45: 8046 → 8068 stars (+22). This is the change over that interval.
  • Interest is fading: the two-day pace is 51% of the previous week and a half.
  • About 12 forks a day — people are taking the code.

Measured growth: the last 7 completed days

The full 7-day window is unavailable; no weekly total or comparison is calculated.

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.
