## Useful for

- Run an agent to recon domains and hunt vulnerabilities within a project scope
- Connect ScopeSentry and import company assets into the graph for testing
- Configure the LLM provider and number of work agents for a task

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-08 (UTC), 11:46–14:11: 188 → 432 stars (+244). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +340 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 0 days old and already has 432 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #33.
- About 280 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: 1,217
- Issues and pull requests: 0
- Watchers: 1
- Average over the last week: 340 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 99

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.
