About

A system that transforms social collaboration from subjective evaluation into measurable, visible signals. Tracks student interactions across GitHub Issues, PRs, and comments to surface active navigators and reliable collaborators. Uses persona-based matching (organizer, debugger, communicator, builder) to form balanced teams that encourage diverse working styles. Students can evolve their personas over time, creating a visible record of how collaboration styles adapt and improve throughout the semester.
