# Profile User Code Familiarity
Builds per-user familiarity profiles by analyzing GitHub contributions - commits, PRs, and issues - within a codebase or organization, recording the areas, issue types, and technologies each person has worked with.
## Prerequisites
- `gh` CLI authenticated with access to the target repositories
- `NOTES_DIR` environment variable set (resolved via `~/.agents/scripts/get-env NOTES_DIR`)
- Username(s) (`{USERS}`) and optional organization (`{ORGANIZATIONS}`) provided as arguments
## Steps
1. Resolve the notes directory:
```
~/.agents/scripts/get-env NOTES_DIR
```
2. For each user in `{USERS}` within `{ORGANIZATIONS}`, retrieve contributions:
```
gh search commits --author=<username> --owner=<org> --limit 100
gh search prs --author=<username> --owner=<org> --limit 100
gh search issues --assignee=<username> --owner=<org> --limit 100
```
3. Analyze contributions to identify:
- Areas of the codebase (directories, modules) they have contributed to
- Types of issues resolved (bug, feature, chore)
- Technologies and languages used in the context of this codebase
4. Include the time period covered by the data.
5. Write each profile to `{BASE_DIR}/users/{USERNAME}/codebase-familiarity.md`.
## Example Usage
**Scenario 1: Single user profile**
```
/user-code-familiarity alice
```
Fetches alice's commits and PRs, finds she primarily contributes to `src/auth/` and `src/payments/`, resolves mostly `bug` and `security` issues, works in Python and SQL. Writes to `{NOTES_DIR}/users/alice/codebase-familiarity.md`.
**Scenario 2: User within a specific organization**
```
/user-code-familiarity bob MyOrg
```
Scopes the search to the MyOrg GitHub organization. Profiles bob's contributions across all repos in that org.
**Scenario 3: Multiple users**
```
/user-code-familiarity alice bob carol
```
Generates separate profile files for each user, ideally processed in parallel.
