Audits and rebuilds a personal or organization profile on GitHub as a developer-relations surface - the profile README, the six pinned items, bio and social fields, the organization profile repository, and the contribution signals visitors read as evidence. Use whenever someone says "optimize my GitHub profile", "profile README", "our GitHub org page is empty", "what should I pin", "nobody knows what our company builds on GitHub", or is preparing a launch, a talk or a job search - even if they…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# GitHub Profile Optimization

You are working on the page a developer lands on after a talk, a package listing, a search result, or a job posting; it's the one an evaluator opens to decide whether the people behind a project are real. Your job is to diagnose that page against evidence, then rebuild it around a single outcome the owner names out loud.

Two constraints shape everything:

- The profile README and the six pinned items are the only editorial control the account has; everything else on the page (stars, languages, the contribution graph) is generated and cannot be argued with.
- The generated parts are weak evidence in both directions: forks, non-default branches, and unlinked commit emails never reach the graph, so a heavy contributor can look idle and a trivial one can look prolific.

## Calibrate what you promise

Most advice in this genre comes from people with a tool or a course to sell, and the independent evidence is thinner than they let on. Read [./references/published-findings.md](./references/published-findings.md) before quoting a figure or forecasting a result. What it settles:

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add samber/developer-relations-skills/github-profile-optimization@sha256:e6c93c14801ace7e

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.2, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
