The shape of expertise.
Every public Play, read from its own file. Scroll, and the same 344 marks tell the story: when they arrived, what they reach, how deep they go, who made them, and what the first run cost.

HOW MANY THEY PUBLISHED
344 public Plays, read from their own files.
Each mark is a Play someone published. Its shape says what the Play reaches: a square is shell, a circle is an API, a half circle is a browser, a diamond is more than one. Orange means it writes. A hole through the middle means it runs steps in parallel.
274 of them arrived in the week of Aug 31.
Before that week, 70 Plays over 8 weeks, a few at a time. The Playoffs opened, and the catalog changed shape in seven days.
82% are a script wrapped as a procedure.
282 Plays reach the world through shell alone. 21 through an API alone, 26 through more than one kind of tool, 2 through a browser. 336 of 344 are read-only.
47 Plays call an API through an adapter. github leads.
GitHub v3 REST API 19, REST, 1,108 tools · open-meteo 6, REST, 1 tools · Gmail API 5, REST, 79 tools · Calendar API 2, REST, 37 tools. An adapter is a typed connection to a service, MCP or REST, with named credentials that stay on the machine. The rest of the catalog reaches the world through shell and browser.
Most are 2 steps. The deepest is 18.
26 Plays use more than one kind of tool, and those are where the depth is. 50 fan out, running up to 12 steps at once. The deepest today is friction-free-city-micro-adventure by modiqo.
107 playmakers. Ten of them made 57%.
sakshamsai26 45 · modiqo 44 · lgoyal6 24 · ankurrawat 20 · dotisacat 15. Everyone else is the long tail on the right, one or two Plays each, which is how a catalog usually starts.
25 Plays recorded what discovery cost.
The first run of a Play is the expensive one: the agent finds the path. Median 29,188 API tokens and 4.6 seconds of exploration, 2,232,161 tokens across all 25. The ones that record savings save about 18,568 tokens every run after.
They sort themselves into 6 ways of working.
Sorted by the words in their own files, tools, calls, and hosts, with nothing about time in the sorting. python3 55.2% · github · search/issues-and-pull-requests 11.6% · node 11%. The names are the tokens that best describe each group.
