Check a list of 7 agent-scheduler GitHub repos: stars, recent pushes, licenses

All 7 GitHub star counts in a list of agent-scheduler repos were within 1% of the posted numbers three days later (735,252 vs 731,336), 6 of 7 had commits Oct 19-23 and all 7 licenses are permissive.

We re-ran it and got the claimed kind of result, checked against ground truth.

How we checked it

GitHub REST API read at 08:15 UTC+8 on 2026-10-26 (raw JSON per repo saved); posted numbers from the post text. Answer key written 08:14:39 UTC+8, before the run.

What the agent did

1. Resolved 8 of 8 t.co links to the named repos
2. Read stars, license and commits for hermes-agent, openclaw, trigger.dev, temporal, dbos-transact-py, apprise and letta
3. Added up the posted numbers: exactly 731,336
4. Checked default-branch commits between Oct 19 and Oct 23 (UTC)

Sites and APIs touched: github.com, api.github.com.

Where it went wrong

• Stars were read 3 days after the post, so we checked a band (-1% to +3%), not exact numbers.
• Not tested: the post's note that only trigger.dev and hermes-agent name a human approval step (absence across all docs is hard to prove).
• Whether these tools really 'turn an agent into a team' was not judged.

Try it yourself

Check this list of 7 GitHub repos: star counts, whether each was pushed in the 4 days before Oct 23 2026, and whether each license is permissive.

Lowest-access way to try it

L0. Ask the agent to read star counts, last commit and license from the GitHub API (not from a blog list) and to give the date it checked.
