A curated, layer-by-layer map of the tools I actually use to build AI agents — from the coding agent in your terminal down to the model serving the tokens.

**3,000+ tools across 29 categories, ranked by GitHub stars.** Each section is split into sub-groups by what the tools do. Every entry passes a mechanical bar: real, public, not archived, and actively maintained (pushed in the last 12 months); new additions also need 1,000+ stars. Every link is re-checked against the GitHub API, and projects under 10,000 stars that stop being maintained are pruned. Organized as a **stack** so you can find the right tool for each layer of an agent system.
**On the website** you can search every tool, sort any category by stars, and see the most-starred projects in each layer. It rebuilds from this README on every change.
> If this list saves you time, **give it a star** — it helps other builders find it.
**Weekly maintenance:** Star this repository to follow weekly audits, new AI-agent tools, and removals of dead or stale projects. **Suggest a tool** or **report a stale link** in Discussions.
