GitHub Trending Weekly Digest — 2026-W32

The week in open source: what developers starred, which projects broke out, and where momentum is building.

Repository of the week

zhaoxuya520/reverse-skill — Reverse Engineering / Authorized Penetration Testing / Security Research Skill Router Pack AI-powered routing + On-demand toolchain bootstrapping + Self-evolving knowledge base Supports Claude Code, Kiro, Cursor, Cline, and other AI coding clients 逆向/渗透/安全技能路由包 - AI 自动路由 + 按需自举工具链 + 自动进化经验库 | 支持 Claude Code / Kiro / Cursor / Cline 等代码 AI 客户端 Reverse-skill acts as an operational knowledge base and tool router for AI agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex CLI. When an AI agent encounters a cybersecurity task—such as reverse engineering an APK, analyzing malware, competing in a CTF, or bypassing frontend JavaScript encryption—it provides strict routing rules and scenario-specific playbooks. Instead of letting the AI guess commands, it forces the agent to read operational contracts, check local tool availability (e.g., IDA, Frida, apktool), and execute repeatable, structured workflows. It maintains an evolving field journal to reuse experience across sessions.
