01 · Roasts
Notebook Monoculture
96% Jupyter Notebook. Your GitHub profile is less a software portfolio and more a very long .ipynb file that got too big to email. Python itself is a rounding error at 2%.
The Great Hibernation
441 commits crammed into ~8 active weeks, then 19 consecutive weeks of absolute silence. You don't have a coding habit — you have coding sprints followed by extended sabbaticals.
Lone Wolf Scientist
0 PRs, 0 issues, 1 follower. Your entire GitHub presence has the collaborative energy of a thesis submitted to a committee of one — yourself.
Stars? What Stars?
4 total stars across 31 repos. That's 0.13 stars per repo. Even your most starred project (sim_denoising, 2 stars) is statistically invisible to the outside world.
README Optional
game-of-life has CI, tests, design docs, an ARCHITECTURE.md — and somehow still no README. You documented every layer of the stack except the one people actually read first.
Built using
Zoral
Shadows one worker for a week, then takes over their job with zero extra setup. Behaves exactly like the original.

sim_denoising
An academic research codebase implementing Li et al.'s SIM denoising method for microscopy. Python-based, typed PyTorch models with comprehensive tests, structured docs, but minimal external adoption (2 stars, no forks, single-author academic project).

game-of-life
Educational Game of Life implementation with structured code, CI/tests, and comprehensive documentation (design.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, STATUS.md). Typed Python, well-documented, but no README and minimal external adoption (1 star).

uk-water-security-project
Single Jupyter notebook analyzing UK water security using 7 datasets (1885–2017 historical data). Exploratory data science project with 9 commits over 3 days; lacks tests, CI, and reproducibility infrastructure (missing .gitignore, requires manual external dataset downloads).

▸ 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.
