50x your Claude usage with cheap-ag. Opus plans, a dirt-cheap model writes every line, and tests decide what ships. Your $20 plan stops hitting limits. One MCP server for Claude Code.

Save to My finds to follow releases and star growth. Saved in this browser.

About the project

An MCP server for Claude Code that has Opus plan tasks while a cheap model writes the code in a separate git worktree, accepting only changes that pass tests. Saves expensive model tokens.

Useful for
  • Set up cheap-agent in Claude Code to stretch Claude plan limits
  • Hand off code writing to a cheap model via OpenRouter or DeepSeek
  • Check cost and job history with /cheapag:status

3.8 Early signal Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of November 2, 2026, 04:30 UTC.

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

Stars per day

050100October 28, 2026November 2, 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

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-02 (UTC), 02:55–04:20: 203 → 204 stars (+1). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +32 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • The repository is 5 days old and already has 204 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
  • Top new repositories this week: #158.
  • About 7 forks a day — people are taking the code.

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.
