Github Trendings:
superpowers - give Claude code superpowers
obra
To better understand this repository starts here.
Or for the lazy one here is a resume:
Skills are modular instructions that give Claude “superpowers” to perform tasks reliably and intelligently. They allow Claude to learn new workflows, self-improve, and handle subagents by defining step-by-step procedures. Essentially, they’re reusable, testable units of knowledge or procedure that Claude can apply to solve problems, automate coding tasks, and even teach itself new capabilities.
OpenSpeedy - break gaming frame rate limitations
OpenSpeedy is a free, open-source game speed tool that helps you overcome frame rate limitations and provides a smoother, faster gaming experience. It's currently available for Windows only, so I haven’t been able to try it myself, but the repository is gaining a lot of traction.
Minimind - surfing on nanochat hype
Last week we discussed Nanochat, which allows you to train your own GPT for $100 in 4 hours. Now, here’s MiniMind, which lets you train an ultra-small language model from scratch for only $3 and just 2 hours! Since this is a Chinese repo, I can’t wait to see the impact of the new Trump tariffs on it.
Anyway, this is once again a really cool and educational repository, especially with its focus on reducing latency and optimizing the computational efficiency of models. This is exciting because I’m deeply convinced that embedded LLMs have enormous potential.
