Counts unlabeled, assigned, unassigned, milestoned, demilestoned, locked, unlocked over the last 12 months. These are issue and pull request events that require triage or write permission. Commits and code review are not counted. labeled and renamed are excluded because GitHub issue forms record the issue author as the actor. Figures from October 11, 2026. This count is not comparable across projects: each project's automation decides which of these events a person emits. How this is counted.

How this project is maintained

96% of open issues come from outside the core team, so the backlog reflects real-world use rather than internal planning. Three people close 80% of everything that gets resolved.

Detailed Description

AGS is a scaffolding CLI tool for building desktop shells with Astal and Gnim.

The tool addresses the complexity of setting up projects that combine Astal, a set of Vala and C libraries for desktop shell development, with Gnim, which brings JSX syntax to GJS. GJS itself is a JavaScript runtime based on SpiderMonkey that runs on GNOME platform libraries, the same foundation GNOME Shell uses. AGS simplifies project initialization and configuration for developers who want to write desktop shells using TypeScript and JSX rather than lower-level languages.

Developers building custom desktop environments for Wayland or GTK-based systems should consider this tool. It suits projects targeting GNOME-compatible platforms where TypeScript and JSX provide a more accessible development experience than working directly with Vala or C. The tool is particularly relevant for those creating panel widgets, status bars, or other shell components that integrate with the GNOME ecosystem.

The project maintains active development with regular commits addressing bug fixes and feature improvements. The codebase shows consistent refinement of the scaffolding templates and CLI functionality. Documentation is actively maintained through the project wiki, indicating ongoing effort to support users through the setup process.
