Does it
actually run?

A new repo every day

We take a trending open-source repository, install it in a clean container, and run it against real files. Then we report exactly what came back — including the parts that broke. Every number on this page and in every video comes from the run itself.

skill-cabinet Part 4

subsy/skill-cabinet · JavaScript · MIT · 385 stars (read 2026-09-04)

Three hundred people starred this skill catalog in four days. It promises to catalog every skill folder on your machine, and flag the risky ones. We pointed it at five real skill folders, and it flagged two of them critical. It quarantined the flagged skill exactly where its own README says it would. Then restoring it with the id it just gave us said the skill wasn't there.

scan CLEAN 4ms GET /api/skills — the real drawer scan
quarantine CLEAN 4ms POST /api/skills/quarantine — moves the flagged skill out of its drawer
restore-stale DIVERGED 4ms restore called with the id the quarantine response itself just returned
restore-fresh CLEAN 3ms the same skill, restored after a fresh scan reports its post-quarantine id
delete CLEAN 3ms POST /api/skills/delete — a fresh throwaway skill, deleted for real, each pass
origin-block BLOCKED 2ms a mutating call with no Origin header — no browser sent this request

reverify Part 3

2akouwu/reverify · Python · MIT · 858 stars (read 2026-09-04)

Eight hundred people starred this binary verifier in four days. It promises every claim about a binary gets checked against the real bytes. We gave it five true claims about its own binary, and five false ones. Every true claim verified, and all five false ones were refuted. Then we gave it an ordinary text file, and it crashed outright.

verify-true CLEAN 45.7ms true claims about a real binary's own header
verify-false CAUGHT 45.04ms the same claims, bitwise-complemented — every one should be wrong
auto-real CLEAN 47.66ms auto-triage of a real ELF binary already in the image
auto-crash CRASHED 43.44ms the same command, on an ordinary text file already in the image
parse-pure CLEAN 45.02ms structural parse, pure-Python core (the default `pip install reverify`)
parse-full CLEAN 345.94ms structural parse after `pip install "reverify[full]"` — the documented upgrade, same binary

cn Part 2

shadcn-ui/cn · TypeScript · MIT · 1,035 stars (read 2026-09-04)

One thousand people starred this Tailwind class merger in four days. It promises the same answer as the library it replaces. We gave both libraries two hundred thousand class strings. Every single one came back identical. Zero disagreements. It claims thirty times faster. We measured forty-three.

pairs CLEAN 1391ms same-prefix conflicts
crossed CLEAN 908ms different-prefix pairs
decorated CLEAN 310ms variants, negatives, important
surface CLEAN 602ms documented API surface

anydoc Part 1

firecrawl/anydoc · Rust · MIT · 20,011 stars (read 2026-09-02)

Twenty thousand people starred this document converter. Two commands in a clean container, and it was running. A Word document came back perfect in sixteen milliseconds. A spreadsheet kept its numbers but lost its header row. Then a scanned page stopped it dead, needing OCR.

report.docx CLEAN 16ms converted whole
books.xlsx DAMAGED 16ms header row came back empty; the column names were demoted into the body
scan.pdf REFUSED 19ms refused by default — OCR is opt-in and sends the file to a hosted service

$ npm install -g @firecrawl/anydoc

Nothing here is estimated. Timings are medians of consecutive runs inside a clean container; star counts are read from the GitHub API with the date shown. A failure is reported as loudly as a success — that is the whole point.
