The project, created by GitHub user mazzzystar, requires Node 18+ and a logged-in GitHub CLI, and never asks for an API key or token. Agents are instructed via a single line of text to read the guide, and the project aims to turn coding agents into a collaborative art platform.", "body_md": "Newest first.
