AgencyAnalytics vs typst-gather: at a glance
What is AgencyAnalytics?
AgencyAI got skills three weeks ago; everything since has been making them routine.
The cadence is weekly and heavily weighted toward AgencyAI. Skills landed in early August as named, runnable agency tasks; scheduling followed, so those tasks now run on their own. Around the assistant, the reporting surface keeps widening: advanced filtering on custom metrics and KPIs, client tags, a report shares view, and a MailerLite data source that brings email campaign metrics alongside every other channel.
What is typst-gather?
Extracted from Quarto's CLI, typst-gather learned to explain a dependency tree before fetching it.
typst-gather collects Typst packages into a local cache so documents build offline and hermetically. It was extracted from quarto-cli and reached CRAN-equivalent shape in three releases over a single day, then added an `analyze` subcommand that walks `@Preview` and `@Local` imports — following transitive dependencies of local packages — and prints structured JSON without downloading or copying anything.

AgencyAI got skills three weeks ago; everything since has been making them routine.
◆ Current state
The cadence is weekly and heavily weighted toward AgencyAI. Skills landed in early August as named, runnable agency tasks; scheduling followed, so those tasks now run on their own. Around the assistant, the reporting surface keeps widening: advanced filtering on custom metrics and KPIs, client tags, a report shares view, and a MailerLite data source that brings email campaign metrics alongside every other channel.
◆ Where it's heading
The assistant is being moved from something an operator invokes to something that runs on a schedule against connected client data, which changes it from a feature into part of the reporting pipeline. The integration work continues at its usual pace and serves the same end — the more channels are connected, the more a scheduled skill has to reason over. Filtering and tagging are the plumbing that lets those tasks be scoped to the right accounts.
◆ Prediction
Expect scheduled skills to gain delivery — results pushed into reports or sent to clients — rather than staying inside the assistant panel.
typst-gather
0.0ANALYTICS
Extracted from Quarto's CLI, typst-gather learned to explain a dependency tree before fetching it.
◆ Current state
typst-gather collects Typst packages into a local cache so documents build offline and hermetically. It was extracted from quarto-cli and reached CRAN-equivalent shape in three releases over a single day, then added an `analyze` subcommand that walks `@Preview` and `@Local` imports — following transitive dependencies of local packages — and prints structured JSON without downloading or copying anything.
◆ Where it's heading
The 0.2.0 restructuring is the tell: subcommands with backwards compatibility, config readable from stdin, and every diagnostic message moved to stderr so stdout carries nothing but JSON. Those are the conventions of a tool meant to be called by another program, not typed by a person. Given its origin inside Quarto's toolchain, the plausible consumer is a build system that needs to know a document's package requirements before deciding what to fetch.
◆ Prediction
The analyze path currently reports imports; the natural extension visible from here is acting on that report — lockfile output or verification that a cache satisfies a document's dependency set — though the entries do not commit to either.
