The GitHub repository agency-agents, introduced by the Chinese-language X account huoshan007 on August 20, is buzzing in the developer community. But the "880,000 stars" figure that post touted differs greatly from reality, so it's worth getting the facts straight first.
140 role prompts, over 140K stars
agency-agents is a repository that publishes more than 140 role-specific expert agent prompts for free under the MIT license, from front-end developers to Reddit community managers. It started from a Reddit thread and reached its current form after months of iteration. According to the repository's description, each agent isn't a generic "you are a lawyer" prompt but includes the specific processes and deliverable standards of that field.
"880,000 stars" is social media exaggeration; the real number is about 140K
The X post that introduced the repository spread by emphasizing the figure "880,000 stars" three times (76,000 views). But the actual star count we checked directly through the GitHub API on August 21, 2026 was 146,805, with 23,710 forks. The badge shown on the repository page shows the same range. In the process of generating buzz, a number inflated nearly sixfold over reality was spread. Even 140,000 stars is unusually high for a prompt library repository, so it's a project that would be buzzworthy without inflating anything.
Three steps to install, straight into Claude Code
Usage is simple. Find the role you need in the repository, paste it into a tool such as Claude Code or Cursor, and start a conversation. It can be installed in Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, Osaurus, and more, and you can also browse the list and install with one click through a dedicated desktop app (agencyagents.app). Some users run several roles at once to get opinions from different perspectives (for example, management, marketing, and finance). These accounts of use are personal anecdotes, though, so before applying them to real work, you need to review the prompts for your own project's context.
