# muaaz9329/cheap-ag

> 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

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-02 (UTC), 02:55–05:44: 203 → 207 stars (+4). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +34 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 5 days old and already has 207 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #155.
- About 7 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: 16
- Issues and pull requests: 5
- Watchers: 0
- Average over the last week: 40 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 2
- Latest release: v1.2.7 (2026-10-31)

## Stars per day, last 6 days (oldest → newest, today is partial)

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.
