The agent harness became the biggest project on github

Yethikrishna ROriginal on Threads

the agent harness became the biggest project on github: ecc sits at 270 thousand stars shipping 277 skills and 67 agents across claude code, cursor and codex, superpowers passed 286 thousand as a skills framework, and hermes-agent hit 250 thousand. voice cloning went fully local with 646 languages in one open repo.

the repo is becoming the team.

Context

GitHub's listings for affaan-m/ECC, obra/superpowers and NousResearch/hermes-agent show large star counts. A search snapshot showed ECC at 274,656 stars, superpowers at 279,468 and hermes-agent at 239,329, all MIT licensed.

An earlier ECC snapshot listed 68 agents and 286 skills.

How it compares

The three repositories and their rank among the biggest agent projects match the listings, but the counts differ from the post: the snapshots read were 274,656, 279,468 and 239,329 against 270, 286 and 250 thousand, and an ECC snapshot lists 68 agents and 286 skills, not 67 and 277. Counts change daily, and the snapshots are undated. The local voice cloning repo with 646 languages was not seen in the sources read, so unsupported here, not refuted.
