Quick update: star history is from the full report of Oct 22, 2026.

Caution

One person wrote most of the recent commits.

## Why

- One person wrote 79% of human commits in the last year, so the project depends on them continuing. ([source 1](https://github.com/openai/openai-cli/commits), [source 2](https://github.com/openai/openai-cli/graphs/contributors))

### What would change this

- A second person takes a substantial share of commits.
- Partly checked: maintenance (Commit counts are estimated: the commit sample stops before the window start, so GitHub's totals were scaled by the sampled bot share.; Authors in the last 90 days are counted from the sampled commits only.)
