Stars measure visibility, not whether either tool fits your constraints. ### Are argo-workflows and agentic-signal open source? Yes - both are open-source projects on GitHub (argo-workflows: Apache-2.0, agentic-signal: Other). ### Where can I find alternatives to argo-workflows or agentic-signal? GraphCanon lists graph-backed alternatives at [argo-workflows alternatives](/tools/argoproj-argo-workflows/alternatives) and [agentic-signal alternatives](/tools/code-forge-temple-agentic-signal/alternatives) ([argo-workflows markdown twin](/tools/argoproj-argo-workflows/alternatives.md), [agentic-signal markdown twin](/tools/code-forge-temple-agentic-signal/alternatives.md)), ranked by typed relationship edges rather than popularity votes. ### Is there a machine-readable version of this comparison? Yes. The markdown twin at [this comparison](/compare/argoproj-argo-workflows-vs-code-forge-temple-agentic-signal.md) mirrors this page for agents and LLM crawlers, with the same stats table and FAQ answers. ### Which is better maintained, argo-workflows or agentic-signal? argo-workflows: Very active. agentic-signal: Steady. Compare maintenance labels, days since push, and release cadence in the trust section below - stars alone do not measure maintenance. ### Where are the full trust reports for argo-workflows and agentic-signal? GraphCanon publishes per-repo trust reports with dated maintenance, provenance, and scan summaries: [argo-workflows trust report](/tools/argoproj-argo-workflows/trust); [agentic-signal trust report](/tools/code-forge-temple-agentic-signal/trust). --- **Machine-readable endpoints** - JSON: [`/api/graphcanon/graph?tool=argoproj-argo-workflows`](/api/graphcanon/graph?tool=argoproj-argo-workflows) - LLM index: [/llms.txt](/llms.txt) - Full corpus: [/llms-full.txt](/llms-full.txt) _GraphCanon - The knowledge graph for AI development. https://www.graphcanon.com/_
