GitHub Sourcer

Source the engineers who build with the tools your role needs. This agent works back from open-source libraries to their contributors and forkers, then finds a way to reach them.

What it does

The GitHub Sourcer turns a role brief into a candidate shortlist by working through open source: it finds the libraries a target engineer would use, lists the people who contributed to or forked those repos, pivots from their GitHub handle to public contact details, and writes a ranked shortlist back into the project.

Why recruiters use it

  • Reach passive engineers by their actual work, not just their job title.
  • Get real signal — shipped commits and forks — instead of keyword guesses.
  • Hand the whole search, with contacts, back to the recruiter ready to action.

Connect GitHub

Add a GitHub Personal Access Token in Settings → Connectors (a classic token with public_repo, or a fine-grained read-only token). It's stored encrypted per workspace and only reads public data.

What you get

A ranked shortlist document — handle, name, the signal that surfaced them, and the best public contact — plus a note on who needs a recruiter login (LinkedIn) to reach.

What you need

  • A role brief (job description / intake notes) saved in the project.
  • A connected GitHub account.

How to run it

Open a project with a role brief and run. The shortlist is saved to your project files.
