Savage GitHub
Discover the best developers — and become one.
Start with a brutally honest 0–100 score. See where you stand, learn where to go.
What is ghfind?
ghfind is a developer-scoring and discovery tool for GitHub. It rates any account from 0 to 100 across six weighted dimensions — account maturity, original project quality, contribution quality, ecosystem impact, community influence, and activity authenticity — using a fully deterministic engine (the open-source github-account-value skill, AGPL). The same inputs always produce the same score; no LLM touches the number. On top of the score it adds an optional AI-written roast, developer-vs-developer battles, language and organization leaderboards, and README score badges.
How ghfind works
1. Scan the public footprint
Enter any GitHub username. The engine crawls the account's public data — repositories, pull requests, issues, stars, followers — and builds an evidence snapshot. No login and no permissions are required.
2. Score six deterministic dimensions
The snapshot is scored across account maturity, original project quality, contribution quality, ecosystem impact, community influence, and activity authenticity, with penalties for PR-farming, star inflation, and template-spam patterns.
3. Get a score, tier, and roast
You get a reproducible 0-100 score with a tier from Trash to God, a per-dimension breakdown showing exactly what holds the score down, and — only if you ask for it — a savage AI-written roast.
ghfind by the numbers
- 18,947 GitHub accounts scored in the public research dataset
- 3,444 full evidence snapshots collected and analyzed
- 6 weighted dimensions behind every score
- under 1% of scored accounts flagged for inauthentic activity
| Signal | What it measures | Easily inflated? |
|---|---|---|
| GitHub stars | A project's popularity, not its author's contribution quality | Yes — star markets and mutual-starring rings are cheap |
| Followers | Audience size and social reach | Yes — follow-back loops and bought followers |
| ghfind score | Real contribution value and trust across six weighted dimensions | Hard — inauthentic patterns are detected and penalized |
Frequently asked questions
What is ghfind?
ghfind is a developer-scoring and discovery tool for GitHub. It rates any account from 0 to 100 for real contribution value and trustworthiness using a fully deterministic, open-source engine, then adds an optional AI-written roast, head-to-head battles, and a ranked developer directory.
How is the score calculated?
The engine scores six weighted dimensions that sum to 100 — account maturity, original project quality, contribution quality, ecosystem impact, community influence, and activity authenticity — and subtracts penalties for red flags such as PR farming or star inflation. It runs only on public GitHub data.
Is the score deterministic and reproducible?
Yes. No LLM touches the number: the same inputs always produce the same score. The scoring core is open-sourced as the github-account-value skill (AGPL), so anyone can reproduce or audit a result. Only the optional roast text is LLM-written.
Can I use ghfind via API, CLI, or MCP?
Yes. There is a public REST API (see /openapi.json), official npm and PyPI packages plus a CLI, and a Model Context Protocol server at /mcp exposing score_user, scan_user, compare_users, get_leaderboard, and search_users tools. The score endpoint needs no authentication.
Does ghfind detect bots and AI-farmed accounts?
It flags the patterns that separate farmed activity from honest work — near-identical template PR titles, contributions concentrated on repos the account doesn't own, and suspicious star or follower inflation. In a dataset of 18,947 scored accounts, fewer than 1% tripped the strongest red flags — rare, but extreme when present.
Is my private work counted?
No. Scores use public signals only, so private-organization contributions are invisible to the engine. An active member of private repos may be underrated. A low score is not a factual claim about a person — it describes an account's public footprint.
How do I remove my profile from ghfind?
Only accounts scoring 60+ are indexed and listed. To be removed from the board, use the removal link on the leaderboard footer or open an issue on the GitHub repository, and the profile will be delisted.
