Top AI Repos — open-source AI, indexed and scored
Top AI Repos tracks AI repositories on GitHub and answers two different questions about each one: is it moving right now, and would you bet a product on it.

Attention is your scarcest resource. Chief is the local-first layer that guards it — turning every agent, alert, and feed into one honest call: interrupt, or not.

**24 events in → 1 interruption** (96% intercepted: 14 blocked outright, the rest batched, dispatched, or remembered)
· only **75% of events ever reach the LLM** — the noisiest 25% dies on hard rules in microseconds, for free
· stable-prefix prompts: **70% of judge input tokens cache-hit** (system + context blocks)
· projected judgment cost **$0.104 per 1,000 events** (DeepSeek list prices, cache-aware)
*(every number regenerates from the deterministic demo replay: `make readme-metrics`)*

Chief sits between you and everything that wants your attention — agents,
heartbeats, CI, RSS, watchers. Everything flows into it; it thinks for itself;
then it does exactly one of three things:
1. 🔔 **Interrupt** you — only when worth it, at the right moment, *arriving with a plan*.
2. 🤖 **Dispatch** work to your agents — and verify the result before reporting ("done" is a claim, not a proof).
3. 📚 **Curate** into memory — facts and intents not worth mentioning now, waiting to be connected later.

## ✨ Highlights
| | |
|---|---|
| 🧠 **Three-stage worthiness engine** | Hard rules (µs) → similarity classifier (ms) → LLM judge (only when needed). Cheap first, smart last. |
| 🎭 **Scene-aware timing** | Sleeping / deep work / meeting / commute — per-scene interrupt thresholds. The *same* event rings at your desk and waits in a digest at 2 AM. |
| 🕶️ **Shadow mode** | For its first 7 days Chief never actually interrupts — it shows you what it *would* have done, and earns the right to ring. |
| 📝 **Explainable, editable policy** | Everything it learns distills nightly into a human-readable `POLICY.md`. Your edits win, effective immediately. |
| ✅ **Verified dispatch** | Agents report "done"; Chief checks. Acceptance command or LLM second opinion — fails closed. |
| 🔌 **Protocol, not pipes** | In: one `POST /v1/events` (or MCP `propose`, or `chief push "…"`) connects anything in minutes — message your Telegram bot and the verdict comes back to your phone. Out: one signed webhook makes any HTTP receiver a delivery channel. |
| 🔒 **Local-first** | One SQLite file + markdown under `~/.chief`. No hosted service or telemetry; the local console stays on `127.0.0.1`. |
| 🔬 **Evaluated, not asserted** | 418 offline tests, a 200-case golden set, a **100-user** learning benchmark, per-decision USD cost. Every claim below ships with a command that proves it. |
