Every asset defaults to a static frame; motion is yours to turn on, and it plays inside a GitHub README. Each snippet carries a light and a dark drawing behind one <picture> element, so it follows the reader's own GitHub theme.
Paste it into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or any coding agent with your checkout open. It carries the measured numbers, the exact snippets, and the rules — including replacing an existing star-history widget in place rather than stacking a second chart under it.

Each repository sheet carries the full star trace plus its code-health readings — change frequency, repair load, ownership concentration and more.
How this sheet is drawn
gitdebt sums the cumulative star history of kovidgoyal's top public repositories (up to 50, by stars) from cached public star timestamps, and derives the code readings from cached git history — commits, commit days, language line counts and author concentration. Everything here is read from gitdebt's own database; nothing on this page queries GitHub while you wait. Repositories without cached history are read in the background and join the totals as they complete. Explore further on the leaderboard or by comparing star histories across repositories.
This aggregate sums star series whose source differs per repository. Each repository's own sheet names its source and coverage date.
