This is the change over that interval. - Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +2 stars, using observed gains and the previous day. - About 7 forks a day — people are taking the code. - Recent forks include notable developers: @Seng-Jik (218 followers). ## 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: 4,468 - Issues and pull requests: 3,236 - Watchers: 171 - Average over the last week: 14 per day - Usual pace: 5 per day - Stars in the last hour (measured): 0 - Latest release: nightly (2026-07-02) ## Stars per day, last 30 days (oldest → newest, today is partial) 2026-09-19 … 2026-10-18: 8, 8, 6, 3, 6, 6, 2, 5, 4, 8, 7, 5, 5, 0, 4, 2, 3, 3, 7, 9, 6, 4, 4, 6, 6, 11, 54, 12, 8, 0 ## Magnitude by day, last 3 days 10-16 3.7, 10-17 2.8, 10-18 1.9 ## Similar by description 1. **openclaw/openclaw** — 3.4 · Steady · AI agents · TypeScript · +42 stars measured 2026-10-18, 00:23–11:47 UTC, ≈ 99 by evening Open-source AI assistant that runs on your own hardware and connects to Discord, Telegram, Slack, WhatsApp and other messengers via a local Gateway.

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.
