👋 hey product hunt!

open source powers the internet — but the contributors behind it are still underrated.

most platforms reduce effort to green squares and PR counts.

they miss the deeper signals and unique expertise of the contributors.

we built skillsync to change that.

it reads your real work — pull requests, reviews, comments — and builds a living skill graph.

not just what you did, but how you think, collaborate, and contribute.

with skillsync, you can:

  1. discover hidden talent in your codebase

  2. find the right experts for the right problems

  3. scale unique skills with repeatable playbooks

  4. even build your own agents on top of real team intelligence

we believe engineering is more than just shipping fast —

it’s about judgment, care, empathy, and craft.

skillsync helps make that visible.

try it on your favorite open source repo — or connect your own.

excited to hear what you think :)

Do you need a minimum amount of code history for this to be useful? What about newer projects

Hey Narayana, great idea and nice presentation! Do you think this product could be used to analyze "lack of skill" too to help upskill a team?

Awesome job by Nars and team on Skillsync. A valuable product to seek out innovators and original contributors in a world where more and more code is written by LLMs.

As a founder building AI tools to help startup operators, I deeply resonate with what you're doing at SkillSync.

Job hunting can be incredibly discouraging — anything that brings clarity and structure to that chaos is a huge win.

Love the focus on personalized feedback and skill matching. Cheering for your launch and beyond!

Cool idea & Slick site — devs are going to love this! Curious how you're indexing all the repos — possible to share a quick overview of the data pipeline? Sounds like there's some fun stuff going on under the hood

Curious about the 'playbooks' feature. Could this help maintainers create better contributor guidelines based on what actually works vs what we think works?

I like this idea, @nars. How do you compare engineers based on the code they contributed? I.e. What differentiates a bad, ok, and great engineer with just that data?

this is brilliant. are you using it on open source projects already to create a db?

This is quite interesting, so this analyzes working styles too? What does that even look like in practice?

This really hits cos SkillSync feels like the recognition open source contributors have deserved for years lol - What I like is that it’s not just always about what you build but also it’s how you think & this finally captures that!

Congrats to the team!!

This is a really powerful idea! I’m really curious about the AI-driven insights part - could this tool help even in early-stage projects where some contributors may still be learning or adapting?

Skillsync offers a thoughtful way to surface hidden expertise and elevate team performance without interrupting the workflow. It’s a smart step toward more adaptive, insight-driven engineering culture.
