What is Jackett?

Jackett ships a daily build to keep hundreds of torrent indexers working as sites move and close.

Jackett is an open-source proxy that turns hundreds of torrent tracker sites into a single Torznab API for media automation tools. It ships an auto-generated release roughly every day, and nearly every one is indexer upkeep: new domains, category mappings, selector fixes after site redesigns, and removing dead trackers.

What is Statsig?

Statsig is packaging its own workflows as skills for someone else's agent to run.

Statsig's experimentation and feature-flag platform opened a public agent-skills repository holding reusable workflows — create dashboard, create cloud metric — written as instructions an AI agent can execute. Its MCP server extended to Segments and Layers, covering user targeting and experiment configuration, and Metrics Explorer gained the ability to abort long-running queries. The crawled feed captures marketing pages as entries, so several rows carry navigation boilerplate rather than release notes.

Jackett ships a daily build to keep hundreds of torrent indexers working as sites move and close.

◆ Current state

Jackett is an open-source proxy that turns hundreds of torrent tracker sites into a single Torznab API for media automation tools. It ships an auto-generated release roughly every day, and nearly every one is indexer upkeep: new domains, category mappings, selector fixes after site redesigns, and removing dead trackers.

◆ Where it's heading

The work is entirely maintenance. Its value depends on keeping up with a tracker ecosystem where sites change domains and layouts weekly. Where possible, the project is moving definitions to sturdier integrations, such as switching world-of-tomorrow to its Torznab API and retiring trackers that moved to direct downloads.

◆ Prediction

Expect the daily cadence to continue, with more trackers moved to API-based definitions and more dead sites removed. Core changes stay rare.

Statsig is packaging its own workflows as skills for someone else's agent to run.

◆ Current state

Statsig's experimentation and feature-flag platform opened a public agent-skills repository holding reusable workflows — create dashboard, create cloud metric — written as instructions an AI agent can execute. Its MCP server extended to Segments and Layers, covering user targeting and experiment configuration, and Metrics Explorer gained the ability to abort long-running queries. The crawled feed captures marketing pages as entries, so several rows carry navigation boilerplate rather than release notes.

◆ Where it's heading

The direction is agent-operated experimentation. MCP covering segments and layers means an agent can configure targeting, and the skills repository means the multi-step workflows around that configuration are distributable artifacts rather than documentation. Statsig is betting the console is not where experiments get set up much longer.

◆ Prediction

Expect the skills catalog to grow toward the analysis side — reading experiment results and proposing rollout decisions, not just creating objects. The query-abort work suggests warehouse cost control is a live concern as agent-driven usage increases.
