djast.dev alternatives
2 open-source projects that already do this job. Free to use - not free to run, which is what the numbers on the right are for.

What you give up either way
- The vendor-maintained djast-* specialist agents and curated .cursor rule library
- Polished demo, docs, and paid support from the vendor
- Any proprietary niceties in the paid package (prebuilt slash commands and sample apps)
An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches djast.dev, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
