eagle-hq/EAGLE-4

Python★ 971

Speculative decoding drafts plus a harness that tunes speculation to measured costs, for SGLang, vLLM and TokenSpeed.

dominikmartn/harp

Rust★ 604

An unofficial Warp fork that runs many Claude Code and Codex agents side by side in one sidebar.

Why it matters: The sidebar flags which agent is waiting on you, which is the real bottleneck in multi-agent work.

Python★ 22

A skill that sets two bars per task, runs a cheap gate check, then uses a verifier blind to the worker's reasoning.

Why it matters: A neat, plain-markdown pattern for pushing agents harder without trusting their own grading.

HTML★ 41

reedodev/explainer-studio

TypeScript★ 18
