What is the motivation and use case in coding agents era for this project? Dont get me wrong, this question echoes in my head for some time now. Especially with supply chain attacks and open source libraries being entirely written by AI, whats my motivation to use open source libs? Previously it was time-saving, now this incentive vanish since its not me spending more time (but agent)

You make so many outlandish claims and outrageous statements - Oss libraries being entirely ai, you can trivially replace any Oss library with agent output, etc. It really distracts from your core question (which has a premise that doesn't seem reasonable)

Its a generalizatiom but this is a direction Im seeing. I maintain OSS project logdy.dev. Until last year around this time I saw a steady influx of github stars every week (not huge but steady enough to project next few weeks). Since then, the traction pretty much stopped. So my thinking is - in coding agents era people dont need to format their local logs since agents take care of the dev mostly. If I were to start this project again, I wouldnt do it right now since the problem wouldnt be worth solving. The economics moved. This is just my example but I guess similar things are happening out there. So, the question remains, is there a use case for niche oss projects anymore? (By niche I mean something thats not mainstream)
