Awesome Coding Agents

This is a very opinionated list from my daily usage. I will try to keep 🔥 entries below 10 (or 20, if I can't 😉).

See AGENTS.md for contribution guidelines when adding entries.

Visit the web page version here. It is generated directly from the catalog tables in this README plus deployment-time GitHub activity metrics.

Local commands

make build
make run
make deploy
  • make build writes dist/index.html.
  • make run serves the generated site locally on 127.0.0.1:8080; override with make run HOST=0.0.0.0 PORT=3000.
  • make deploy validates, tests, and builds the Pages artifact.
  • npm run validate:catalog validates the README catalog tables.

Catalog notes

Catalog entries live directly in README tables with four columns: Status, Tool, Tags, Description. Tool names are Markdown links to GitHub repositories, and any ## section with that exact table header is treated as a category.

GitHub metrics are fetched at build time and are never committed back into README. Tags should highlight distinguishing traits, such as microvm, sandbox, token-saving, browser, or subagents.

To add or update entries with an agent, use .agents/skills/add-tool/SKILL.md; Claude-compatible setups can use .claude/skills/add-tool.
