Your project is on StackMap — a curated map of the AI stack #162

Description

@hoghweed

Hi — I curate StackMap, a hand-curated knowledge graph of open-source AI/agent tools. Every entry is human-reviewed: a summary, an opinionated note on when to use it (and when not), and typed edges to what it pairs with or competes against — with the why written down.

abtop earned a place on the map:

How we mapped it:

  • alternative to ai-token-monitor — Same watch-your-agents job, different surface: ai-token-monitor is a menu-bar app focused on token spend and plan limits; abtop is a terminal TUI adding context-window bars, child processes and port detection per live session.
  • alternative to cc-lens — Live vs retrospective: abtop shows what your agents are doing right now; cc-lens analyzes what they did — replays, cost/cache breakdowns, budgets. Many desks end up running both.

If any of this misrepresents the project — an edge you'd dispute, a sharper "when NOT to use" — reply here and a human fixes it. And feel free to just close this issue; it's only a heads-up.

    Small follow-up on the above, then I'll get out of your inbox.

    Since that issue, every mapped repo has a badge. If you want the mapping visible in your README:

    [![On StackMap](https://img.shields.io/endpoint?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstackmap.shipwithai.xyz%2Fapi%2Fbadge%2Fabtop.json)](https://stackmap.shipwithai.xyz/repos/graykode/abtop?utm_source=badge)

    It renders as StackMap | ↔ 8 typed links and links to the abtop page on the map — the count is how many human-reviewed relationships we've written for it.
    The endpoint is static JSON, so it updates itself as the map changes. No script, no tracking, nothing for you to maintain.

    Genuinely no obligation and no reply needed. If any of the mapping is still wrong, that's the reply I'd rather have.
