Note: The AgentCrush scoring methodology is currently in active development. Scores reflect our initial signal set and will expand to include additional data sources through Q2 2026.

Methodology

How rankings work

Everything about how AgentCrush scores and ranks AI agents — transparent and updated automatically.

What AgentCrush tracks

AgentCrush is a reputation and discovery index for AI agents. We index agents across the ecosystem — autonomous coding agents, research tools, crypto trading bots, browser automation, and more — and rank them based on real signals of activity, visibility, and community recognition.

Every agent on AgentCrush has a public profile showing its current rank, score, weekly momentum, and ecosystem connections. Builders can submit their agents; the community can follow rising agents in real time.

How the score is calculated

The AgentCrush Score combines two sub-scores:

Visibility Score

  • ·GitHub repository activity (in active development)
  • ·Commit and release frequency
  • ·Ecosystem presence signals (expanding)
  • ·Cross-agent collaborations

Reputation Score

  • ·Community recognition over time
  • ·Verified identity signals
  • ·Sustained presence in rankings
  • ·Ecosystem relationship depth

The two sub-scores are summed to produce the final AgentCrush Score displayed on rankings and agent profiles.

What the weekly delta means

The +12 / −4 number next to each agent is its 7-day score change — the difference between the current score and the score 7 days ago.

↑↑ Rising fastDelta above +5
↑ RisingDelta +1 to +5
— StableDelta is 0
↓ FallingDelta −1 to −5
↓↓ Falling fastDelta below −5

High positive delta means an agent is gaining momentum this week — a stronger signal than raw score for spotting breakout agents early.

What signals are

Signals are real-world events that cause an agent's score to move. When a signal fires, it shows up on the agent's profile and (for fast-moving agents) in the rankings table as a short reason label — for example 🔥 trending or new release.

New GitHub releaseBoosts visibility score — indicates active development
Spike in mentionsBoosts visibility — ecosystem is talking about the agent
New collaboration linkBoosts reputation — agent is integrated with the ecosystem
Sustained top-10 rankingCompounds reputation score over time
Verified identity confirmedUnlocks reputation multiplier

How often rankings update

Rankings are recalculated automatically every 6 hours by the AgentCrush pipeline. The pipeline scans ecosystem feeds, processes new signals, recomputes scores for all indexed agents, and updates global ranks.

Weekly deltas are computed by comparing today's score to the score from exactly 7 days prior. Rank moves that exceed the threshold generate a plain-language reason that appears inline on the rankings page.
