01 · Roasts
49k stars, zero guardrails
hacker-scripts has 49,815 stars, yet its authoritative flags say no tests, no CI, and no license. Viral chaos, carefully preserved.
The maintenance split
gitlab was pushed in 2026, but 63% of the profile is stale and only 19 commits landed this year.
Gem with a safety net hole
gitlab runs Ruby 3.2 through 4.0 in CI and handles retries and pagination, but the authoritative test flag is still no.
Curator energy
guides has 2,420 stars and meticulous contribution rules; the robots still have no CI job to enforce them.
Built using
Zoral
Shadows one worker for a week, then takes over their job with zero extra setup. Behaves exactly like the original.

NARKOZ /
gitlab
Mature Ruby gem and CLI wrapping a broad GitLab REST API surface, with 1,085 stars, a documented release/install path, modular endpoint mixins, CI, and careful request/error/pagination handling; quality is limited by the authoritative absence of tests and static typing.
NARKOZ /
guides
A long-lived, widely starred programming-guide directory that organizes hundreds of named style and development resources across languages, frameworks, and tooling, with explicit contribution rules for maintaining link quality and consistency.
NARKOZ /
hacker-scripts
A highly visible 49k-star collection of humorous automation scripts, with Ruby, Python, Go, Clojure, and shell implementations plus practical environment-variable and cron usage guidance, but limited engineering rigor.

Tier thresholds
▸ How the pipeline works
- 01Scrape.Pull every non-fork repo pushed in the last 90 days, plus your contribution calendar, followers, and language byte counts — straight from GitHub's REST & GraphQL APIs.
- 02Triage.A small model reads every repo's file tree + README and picks the 20 files per repo that actually reveal how you code.
- 03Grade each repo. All repos run in parallel through a fast scoring model that reads the picked files and rates each one independently on Impact, Quality, and Depth — with evidence citations.
- 04Aggregate. A larger reasoning model combines the per-repo scores with server-computed stats (heatmap, commit cadence, language entropy, follower count) to produce the 6-dimension profile score + roasts.
- 05Correct.Deterministic server-side checks enforce anchor-scale floors (e.g. a profile with 2,000+ public commits can't score 30 Consistency) and recompute the final verdict.
~90 seconds per profile, ~$0.25 in compute. Total of ~240 files read across your top-12 repos. One rating per GitHub account per day.
▸ Data sources & caveats
- Heatmap & commit totals: GitHub GraphQL
contributionsCollection— covers the last 365 days, includes private repos when the user has opted in (default). - Language %: byte totals across the top 30 owned non-fork repos.
- Curve: a small upward nudge centered on raw score ≈ 70, capping at 100. Prevents specialists from being unfairly penalised for narrow breadth.
- Anchor corrections: when server-measured signals (e.g. privateWorkLikely, multiRepoVolume, follower count) mandate a minimum category score, the aggregation step enforces it. These are signal-conditional, not identity-based floors.
