GitHub Profile Analyzer

A deterministic GitHub profile analyzer that scores developer profiles across 14 weighted categories, detects authenticity anomalies, and produces fully explainable reports. No black boxes: every score shows exactly which factors earned or lost points, and every claim links back to real GitHub data.

Why this project is different

Most profile analyzers either show raw numbers with no context or hide behind an LLM that invents a different story on every run. This project takes a third path:

• Deterministic by design. The same profile always produces the same scores. 43 sampled rules evaluate account age, contribution patterns, repository quality, release discipline, security posture, community health, and more.
• Explainable scores. Hovering any score reveals its factor breakdown: what was measured, how many repositories were sampled, points earned versus possible, and concrete remediation steps when a score is low.
• Anomaly detection without accusations. 45 signals flag statistical patterns such as burst contributions, self-merge ratios, fork abandonment, and commit monotony. Flags are presented as context with caveats, never as verdicts.
• Honest about limits. Rules that cannot be computed truthfully from public data (branch protection, follower history) report themselves as unavailable instead of guessing.

How the engine works

A single deep-dive pass collects everything in about 30 GitHub API requests, well inside the Cloudflare Workers subrequest budget:

1. One batched GraphQL query loads the profile core: contribution calendar, social graph, gists, pinned items, and two years of contribution history.
2. Repository discovery runs through paginated GraphQL, then top repositories are enriched in batches of four with languages, releases, community files, dependency manifests, CI status, and per-commit statistics including additions, deletions, and signature validity.
3. Weekly activity, punch cards, participation splits, contributor rankings, and churn series are derived from already-fetched data instead of extra REST calls.
4. Search aggregators compute global counters such as external PR acceptance rate, discussion answers, and issue resonance in one request.
5. Community health profiles and Actions run histories add authoritative documentation coverage and live CI pass rates for the top five repositories.

All results stream to the dashboard over Server-Sent Events so you can watch each phase complete.
