Upstream fix: redis/ioredis #2214
Visit Project open_in_new Oct 2026 - Oct 2026In Redis Cluster, a pipelined command answered MOVED, ASK or TRYAGAIN during a slot migration was retried only with the whole batch, and only if no write had succeeded; otherwise it never ran. The maintainer agreed the design, benchmarked it and added a commit before merging it on 20 October 2026.
code
ai-slop-linter
Visit Project open_in_new Sep 2026 - PresentDeterministic linter for AI-writing tells in commit messages, pull requests and docs, with --compare to show which facts a rewrite lost. In a published head-to-head (Oct 2026) it came first on 12 public tasks against six other Claude Code skills and Claude with no plugin. MIT, npm, Claude Code plugin.
code
workproof
Visit Project open_in_new Sep 2026 - PresentTurns a private git repository into a report of one author's work, with a hash a reader can check and no source code in it. MIT, npm, Claude Code plugin.
code
product-engineer
Visit Project open_in_new Sep 2026 - PresentAgent skill and command-line checker that makes AI coding agents explain each commit and pull request in plain language, and warns when the message contradicts the diff. MIT, npm, Claude Code plugin.
code
proactive-gate
Visit Project open_in_new Sep 2026 - PresentLibrary that decides whether an AI agent may message a user right now (quiet hours, daily limit, consent, snooze) and records the reason when it may not. TypeScript, Python and Go. MIT.
code
surviving-lines
Visit Project open_in_new Sep 2026 - PresentCommand-line tool that counts the lines each author still has in a git repository (git blame) next to their share of commits. Came first in total on a sealed held-out set and its public set in a published head-to-head (Oct 2026). MIT, npm, Claude Code plugin.
code
Upstream fix: mastra-ai/mastra #22903
Visit Project open_in_new Sep 2026 - Sep 2026A scorer declared as a trajectory scorer was handed raw messages instead of a trajectory, and the error was swallowed as a silent score of 0: a gate that always failed and never said why. Merged by the maintainers on 2 September 2026 and shipped in @mastra/core 1.64.0.
code
Upstream fix: langchain-ai/openwiki #703
Visit Project open_in_new Aug 2026 - Aug 2026On Windows the onboarding tests wrote into the developer's real configuration directory, because os.homedir() reads USERPROFILE and ignores the test's HOME override. Merged by the maintainers on 24 August 2026.
code
In review: comet-ml/opik #7854
Visit Project open_in_new Aug 2026 - PresentOpen pull request, under maintainer review (not merged): makes Opik's LLM-as-judge metrics fail closed when the judge returns ambiguous JSON, instead of silently producing a score. Fixes issue #7848.
code
Upstream fix: langchain-ai/openwiki #635
Visit Project open_in_new Aug 2026 - Aug 2026Bundled skills could not sync from read-only installations such as Nix or immutable containers: the copy kept read-only mode bits, the atomic rename failed and a staging directory leaked on every run. Merged by the maintainers on 12 August 2026 and released in v0.3.3, whose changelog credits me by name.

Benchmarking Claude Code plugins against their rivals on sealed held-out tasks, and verification loops that check an agent's claims before it is allowed to finish.
Achievements
Oct 2026: ai-slop-linter came first on a 12-task public benchmark against six other Claude Code skills, including Humanizer (about 60,000 GitHub stars), and Claude with no plugin. Oct 2026: surviving-lines came first in total on a sealed held-out task set and on its public set. Four fixes merged upstream by other projects' maintainers: langchain-ai/openwiki #635 (released in v0.3.3, credited in its changelog) and #703, mastra-ai/mastra #22903 (shipped in @mastra/core 1.64.0), redis/ioredis #2214. 33 outside pull requests merged into my five tools, from seven contributors. 23,904 GitHub contributions (GitHub API, 24 October 2026).
