Two repos, one second of effort
Shrine was created and last pushed within one literal second (18:59:14Z to 18:59:15Z). Alpha took a full two hours to produce... a README that just says 'Alpha'. Half your portfolio is vibes.
Snake CI is not a CI pipeline
Your most polished CI workflow animates a contribution snake SVG. That's not DevOps — that's decorating your trophy case instead of filling it.
Sphere in four days, then silence
Sphere has tests, typed Python, a diagnosis engine, a React frontend, and JSON schema versioning — all built in 4 days. Then you apparently went on sabbatical. One burst ≠ a sustained engineering habit.
23 PRs, 0 issues, 0 stars
You opened 23 PRs this year — more than most people on GitHub — yet none of your own repos have a single star. You're contributing everywhere except building something people notice.
Harvard AM, 4 public repos
Bio says Harvard AM. Public portfolio says four repos, two of which are empty scaffolds. The degree is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.
Built using
Zoral
Shadows one worker for a week, then takes over their job with zero extra setup. Behaves exactly like the original.

RyanZWhalen
Personal portfolio README experimentation project with animated contribution snake SVG and contact badges; 30 commits over 15 months but primarily a markdown showcase with no actual codebase or deliverables.

Shrine
Empty scaffold with only README and license; created and last pushed on same timestamp with 0 commits sampled; no source files present or fetched.

Alpha
Empty scaffold project created 2 hours ago with a minimal README. Only Apache license and .gitignore; no source code, tests, CI, or meaningful documentation. Represents an initial commit placeholder.

▸ 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.
