Open methodology

What the profile measures.

Agent Aura is a rolling, confidence-labeled summary shown on a builder's profile - not a universal measure of developer ability.

Signal groups

Execution and reliability

Tool outcomes, verification outcomes, approval patterns, and recovery behavior.

Orchestration

Effective use of built-in tools, MCP connections, skills, and agent workflows.

Context

Session continuity and compaction patterns without reading the underlying context.

Practice

Qualifying sessions, active days, and consistency in the rolling window.

Confidence and anti-gaming

Scores carry low, medium, or high confidence based on qualifying sessions and active days. Replayed events are globally deduplicated. Profiles with anomaly flags are excluded from public ranking.

Limits

Different tasks require different agent behavior. A score can miss quality, difficulty, collaboration, and work completed outside connected tools. It should be read alongside the component metrics and confidence - not used as a standalone hiring decision.

Versioning

Methods will evolve as integrations and validation improve. Material scoring changes should use a new algorithm version and be documented before comparisons are treated as continuous.
