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.

The bottom three rows are the mechanism, each pulled from a real v0.3.0 bench draft pair (same prompt, independent generations with and without the ruleset): a product description on Gemini 3 Flash (8 → 0 violations), a design-doc section on Claude Opus 4.7 (14 → 7), and a paper related-work section on Gemini 3 Flash (6 → 4; the source drafts are anchored to three prompt-named benchmarks (AgentBench, BFCL, tau-bench) so the style delta measured by `agent-style review` is isolated from fabricated-citation noise, though the displayed baseline snippet stops before the third name to keep the panel to three sentences). Each row shows the AI draft on the left with rule-violating phrases highlighted, the specific rules that fire in the middle, and the revised version on the right at the same length budget, same register, same document type. ## What It Is A curated set of English writing rules formatted for AI coding and writing agents to follow **at generation time**, not as a post-hoc linter. ### Scope | In scope | Out of scope | | --- | --- | | API docs, design docs, research papers, grant proposals | Fiction, poetry, marketing copy | | READMEs, runbooks, commit messages, error messages | Long-form narrative non-fiction | | Technical blog posts, postmortems, issue reports | Non-English prose; any context where rhythm or affect matter more than precision | ### Two Rule Groups, Peer Inputs The 21 rules split by origin. The agent reads both as equal peers; no group is annotated as higher-priority than the other. - **`RULE-01..12` (canonical).** Distilled from Strunk & White, Orwell, Pinker, and Gopen & Swan. Each rule cites its source by chapter, section, or essay rule; I verified every citation against the original works. Full names in the table below. - **`RULE-A..I` (field-observed).** Patterns I logged from AI output across dozens of writing projects (papers, grant proposals, technical documentation, agent configs) and code releases, 2022 to 2026. Transparent attribution: these are not literature-backed but capture LLM-specific failure modes that the canonical set alone misses (RULE-H citation discipline is the critical one). Full names in the table below. Named in homage to Strunk & White's *The Elements of Style* (1918/1959), one of the four canonical sources. ### Canonical Rules (RULE-01 through RULE-12)
