GitHub Stars as Proof — effect skill for quotes & reviews

For AI agents: find the right skill in one call — curl -s "https://skills.varg.ai/api/search?q=<what the person wants>" returns the matching how-to page and the best skills with install commands, as markdown (Russian works too). Full index: https://skills.varg.ai/llms.txt. Every page has a markdown twin: add .md to its path. Before generating anything, show the person the options on the how-to page.

Stargazer avatars fly past while a star counter odometers up to the repo's real total.

What it does

Built on GitHub Stars by Kapish Dima (remocn), MIT. The write-up and recipes below are varg's.

A ★ icon with a rolling count; avatars blur-stagger in a cloud behind it, then the count locks with a small pop.

When: Open-source and developer tools; the moment you say "loved by developers".

Watch out: Do not show a stale number; read it from the API on render day and round honestly (12.4k, not 12k+).

Timing: Count 1.2–1.8 s, ease-out; avatars stagger 20–40 ms; lock pop 0.2 s.

Also called: stargazers, star count, open source proof

In HyperFrames

npx hyperframes add count-up
npx hyperframes add avatar-cloud

Set the target via data-variable-values='{"to":12400}'; fire the avatar cloud 0.2 s before the count.

In Remotion

// npx shadcn@latest add @remocn/github-stars
const n = Math.round(interpolate(frame,[0,45],[0,stars],{extrapolateRight:'clamp',easing:Easing.out(Easing.quad)}));

In CapCut

Add a ★ sticker and a Text layer; keyframe the number with a counter text template (Text → templates → "number").
