Daily GitHub trending repos digest

GitHub Trending is an aeon skill: Curated trending across GitHub repos and the Hugging Face Hub (models, datasets, spaces) - filtered, clustered, and labeled by momentum with a one-line why-notable per pick. Like every aeon skill it is one SKILL.md prompt file that runs unattended on your own GitHub Actions, on a schedule or when you trigger it, and sends what it finds to Telegram, Discord, Slack or email.

aeon already has paper-pick (one daily HF Papers pick) and paper-digest (multiple paper summaries). Both surface research. Neither surfaces artifacts - the models, datasets, and spaces that ship alongside (and frequently before) the paper. The GitHub branch covers the repo layer; the Hugging Face branch covers the model / dataset / space layer that lives one floor above on the AI stack. Together they give a complete picture of where the ecosystem's attention is moving today: papers (theory) → repos (code) → HF Hub (artifacts).

Every aeon skill takes one optional text input, var, set in aeon.yml or typed in when you run it by hand. It picks the target or the mode for that run.

Source selector plus optional sub-scope:

• empty or github → GitHub trending, all languages (default)
• github:<lang> - or a bare language token like python, typescript, rust (backward-compatible with the old GitHub var) → GitHub trending filtered to that language
• hf or huggingface → Hugging Face trending across models + datasets + spaces
• hf:models / hf:datasets / hf:spaces (also huggingface:models, etc.) → Hugging Face trending scoped to a single resource type

No extra API keys or MCP servers. It runs on the model you connected to aeon (a Claude subscription token, an API key, or another login).

Easiest: open Aeon Connect, sign in with GitHub and turn on GitHub Trending. No clone, no terminal. To add it to an existing aeon repo from a shell, run:

Then switch it on in aeon.yml (the default schedule is filled in):

skills:
  github-trending: { enabled: true, schedule: "0 9 * * *", var: "" }
