How to read these numbers
The Gid Score combines adoption, community, attention and momentum from public data; it measures how widely an agent is used, not how good it is. The Gid Score list starts in October 2026, when we began saving daily rankings; stars and downloads go further back. Package downloads include CI and automated installs and are not a count of users. Growth over 30 days and the calendar month are different periods.
How we measure →
