유료 작업 잠재력을 위해 GitHub 문제를 평가하는 도구를 만들었습니다.

I built a tool that scores GitHub issues for paid-work potential

Most developers treat open-source contribution like a lottery.

They find a repository, pick an issue, submit a pull request, and hope it leads somewhere.

Sometimes it helps their portfolio.
Sometimes it gets ignored.
Sometimes it turns into nothing.

I wanted a more intentional workflow.

So I built BashOps Radar: a tool that analyzes GitHub repositories and helps developers find open-source issues with stronger proof-of-work potential.

The problem

Open source is one of the best ways for developers to prove skill.

But most developers still choose repositories and issues manually.

They ask:

• Is this repo active?
• Are maintainers responsive?
• Are there useful issues I can work on?
• Is this issue likely to get noticed?
• Could this contribution create a paid-work conversation?

That research takes time.

And if you pick the wrong repo, the work may never lead anywhere.

What BashOps Radar does

BashOps Radar analyzes a GitHub repository and returns:

• an opportunity score
• the best issue to start with
• merge and contract potential signals
• proof-of-work angle
• founder outreach direction
• a pipeline for tracking opportunities

The workflow is simple:

Repository Analysis -> Opportunity Score -> Best Issue -> Pipeline -> Founder Pitch -> Paid Sprint

Why I built it

I believe open source can be more than portfolio work.

A focused contribution can build trust.

Trust can create a conversation.

A useful PR can lead to a small paid sprint.

But only if you choose the right repository and issue.

BashOps Radar is designed to help developers make that choice more intentionally.

GitHub Action

I also made it available as a GitHub Action.

Example:

name: BashOps Radar

on:
workflow_dispatch:

jobs:
analyze:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
– id: radar
uses: BashOpsDev/bashops-radar/github-action@main
with:
repo_url: https://github.com/sourcebot-dev/sourcebot

  - name: Show BashOps outputs
    run: |
      echo "Opportunity Score: ${{ steps.radar.outputs.opportunity_score }}"
      echo "Contract Potential: ${{ steps.radar.outputs.contract_potential }}"
      echo "Recommended Next Action: ${{ steps.radar.outputs.recommended_next_action }}"

If you are a developer, freelancer, maintainer, or agency owner, I would love feedback.

The question I am exploring is simple:

Can open-source proof-of-work become a more repeatable path to paid developer opportunities?
