From himself65/finance-skills, a repository with 3,115 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

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.
