Why it is worth understanding
Growth is no longer confined to models and agents: packaging aesthetic judgment, layout rules, and delivery checks into a skill turns out to be strong demand of its own.
Conditions and limitations
Trending is a dynamic attention chart, not a stable ranking. Star growth does not prove sustained use, code quality, or commercial value.
