k-dense Takes Sixth as the Science Sprint Continues
The scientific skills library added 1,230 stars over four days and passed the stalled antigravity collection for #6 on the leaderboard — while NVIDIA's security scanner keeps climbing toward the top 15.
Friday's weekly digest called k-dense's run a sprint worth watching; the sprint just changed the order. k-dense-ai/scientific-agent-skills added 1,230 stars between September 4 and September 8 and now sits at #6 on the leaderboard — passing sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills, which added zero stars over the same four days.
The Swap in Numbers
| Rank | Skill | Stars (Sep 8) | 4-day change |
|---|---|---|---|
| #5 | kepano/obsidian-skills | 48,008 | +189 |
| #6 | k-dense-ai/scientific-agent-skills | 43,676 | +1,230 |
| #7 | sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills | 42,570 | 0 |
Rankings and star counts are today's snapshot; the 4-day change compares the September 4 and September 8 points in SkillMap's tracking history.
The contrast is the story: one collection is stalling while the other gains at a pace that closes gaps. k-dense now trails #5 by 4,332 stars — about three and a half of its four-day gains, should the pace hold. What it passed matters too: antigravity-awesome-skills is a wide catalog for the Antigravity ecosystem, and this is a specialist library overtaking a generalist one on depth of audience, not breadth.
The Scanner Keeps Climbing
nvidia/skillspector added 634 stars over the same four days to reach 16,580, holding #19. Friday's digest flagged pre-install scanning as the trend to watch; the slope since has not bent. SkillMap's security-workbench collection tracks it alongside the practice-side libraries.
Meanwhile, at the Top
anthropics/skills crossed 175,000 stars and added 1,314 over the four days; its lead over #2 stands at 82,215 stars. The head of the leaderboard is not shrinking; the interesting movement is all happening beneath it.

What to Watch
Whether k-dense's slope survives contact with #5 — the gap is 4,332, and the pace says weeks, not quarters — and whether antigravity-awesome-skills resumes moving or keeps ceding rank. The weekly digest returns Friday with the full picture.
