Agents & Teams: what the data shows

All 76 projects in this category, what the distribution actually looks like, and which ones are still alive.

This is where the ecosystem is genuinely experimental. Multi-agent orchestration is unsolved in every framework, and these projects reflect that — ambitious scope, thin documentation, fast churn. High star counts here measure excitement, not stability. Treat everything in this category as a research preview until proven otherwise.

The median project in this category has 75 stars while the largest has 4,426. That gap is the whole story: Most of what exists is someone's weekend experiment, published and forgotten. The handful at the top are not typical — they are outliers that happened to be found.

This matters when you choose. Ranking by stars is the only signal available across the whole ecosystem, but it is measuring attention, not quality, and it collapses to zero for anything new. A project with four stars and a push yesterday may serve you far better than one with four thousand and a last commit in March. That is why every entry below also carries a freshness marker.

Install the top pick

modlens is the most adopted project here at 4,426 stars, written in TypeScript under MIT.

git clone https://github.com/liustack/modlens.git
cd modlens
npm install
npm run build

Check its README for the exact registration step — the plugin entry point differs between projects and a wrong name fails silently in most setups.

What to skip, and why

Nothing in this category has gone untouched for nine months, which is unusual and worth noting — it suggests maintainers are still engaged.

Common questions

How many DSH plugins are in this category?

76, out of 714 catalogued across the whole directory. The median project here has 75 stars.

Which one should I install first?

modlens, on the strength of community adoption rather than our own testing — we index the ecosystem, we do not benchmark it. If it does not fit your workflow, work down the shortlist above; the gap between first and fifth place is usually narrower than star counts imply.

Are these safe to install?

They run with the runtime's permissions, which usually means access to your files and API keys. Read the source of anything you install, especially in the categories that touch the shell or the browser. No directory can make that decision for you.

How often is this page updated?

The dataset behind it refreshes daily from the GitHub API. This article is regenerated whenever the site is rebuilt, so the numbers above are current as of 2026-10-24.
