Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
<overview> Deep Agents are an opinionated agent framework built on LangChain/LangGraph with built-in middleware: - **Task Planning**: TodoListMiddleware for breaking down complex tasks - **Context Management**: Filesystem tools with pluggable backends - **Task Delegation**: SubAgent middleware for spawning specialized agents - **Long-term Memory**: Persistent storage across threads via Store - **Human-in-the-loop**: Approval workflows for sensitive operations - **Skills**: On-demand loading of specialized capabilities The agent harness provides these capabilities automatically - you configure, not implement. </overview> <when-to-use> | Use Deep Agents When | Use LangChain's create_agent When | |---------------------|-----------------------------------| | Multi-step tasks requiring planning | Simple, single-purpose tasks | | Large context requiring file management | Context fits in a single prompt | | Need for specialized subagents | Single agent is sufficient | | Persistent memory across sessions | Ephemeral, single-session work | </when-to-use> <middleware-selection> | If you need to... | Middleware | Notes | |------------------|------------|-------| | Track complex tasks | TodoLi

Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
