How a repository gets this Tag

An agent read the description, the GitHub topics, and the start of the README of each repository, and chose Tags only from the checked-in Tag list. For each Tag it quoted the text, and a code check kept the Tag only when the quote is in that text. The quote under each repository is that evidence. A Tag does not rank repositories and does not say that one can replace another. A wrong Tag? Use "Report a problem with this page" on the page of the repository. Withheld Repositories are left out of all numbers on this page.
