Why it is worth understanding

An unusually strong attention signal for new open-source agent infrastructure — and its everything-is-a-plugin architecture is directly relevant to BitShovel's own workbench direction.

Conditions and limitations

The project explicitly warns of breaking changes in developer preview. This is cumulative attention since creation, not weekly growth, quality, or commercial proof.
