About the project

A dictionary of AI coding jargon — model, context, tokens, MCP, hallucination — explained in plain English. For developers who want to understand how AI coding agents work and why they fail.

Useful for
  • Look up terms like context window, harness, and MCP
  • Explain to a colleague why an AI agent hallucinates or costs so much
  • Use as a reference while reading AI tool documentation

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

Star growth looks organic. Data as of September 24, 2026, 10:53 UTC.

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

Stars per day

0125250August 1, 2026October 29, 2026

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

  • 1 star so far today, about 6 expected by the end of the day.
  • Interest is fading: the two-day pace is 30% of the previous week and a half.

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.
