# kunchenguid/firstmate

> 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

## Why it’s here

- 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.

## 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: 2,596
- Issues and pull requests: 7,541
- Watchers: 25
- Average over the last week: 33 per day
- Usual pace: 52 per day

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.
