GitHub Portfolio Builder

Build a GitHub portfolio that shows what you can do.

GitHub Portfolio Builder helps you highlight your strongest work, explain your contributions, and show employers, clients, and collaborators why your projects matter. Share your profile or a repository to get a prioritized plan for what to feature, improve, and add, grounded in your actual work.

Use it to prepare your portfolio for a job application, a client pitch, or your next collaboration.

Claude's directory reports over 5,000 installs as of November 1, 2026.

What you get

  • A short assessment. See what the inspected profile or project communicates about the work.
  • Up to five priorities. Each recommendation includes a source link, why it matters to your audience, and a concrete change to make.
  • Worthwhile additions. When the evidence supports them, get up to three suggestions for examples, case studies, or other work worth sharing. Each includes any permission, privacy, or attribution requirements.
  • Clear limits. Know what was checked, what the repository only claims, and what could not be verified.

The review uses your actual pages and files. It checks whether a recommended addition already exists and gives fewer suggestions when fewer are useful.

What it looks at

For a profile review, Claude checks your bio, profile README, visible pins, and a small selection of projects. It looks for a clear explanation of your role and representative work.

For a repository review, Claude checks the README and the supporting material needed for your question. That can include examples, setup instructions, licenses, documentation, and linked demos. It looks for what helps someone understand the project or decide whether to use it.

See an example review. It shows a specific recommendation with supporting links and clearly stated limits. The example is illustrative, not a new runtime test.

Install in Claude Code

First installation: run these commands at your terminal prompt, such as the line ending in % on a Mac. You need Claude Code installed.

claude plugin marketplace add RachaelQuisel/github-portfolio-builder
claude plugin install github-portfolio-builder@github-portfolio-builder

Already installed? Use the update instructions. They cover GitHub installations and local checkouts. If you see an extraKnownMarketplaces source mismatch, follow that guide instead of adding the marketplace again.

Start a review

Open Claude Code by running this command in your terminal:

claude

Once Claude Code opens, type your request in its conversation prompt. Share your GitHub URL and tell Claude who the work is for. For example:

Use GitHub Portfolio Builder to improve my profile for employers hiring automation developers. What should I feature and improve first? [your profile URL]

Review this project for a potential client. Can they understand the problem it solves and my contribution? [your repository URL]

Review this repository for someone who wants to reuse it. Check the explanation, examples, and setup instructions. [your repository URL]

You can also type the command below inside Claude Code. Replace the example URL with your profile or repository URL. A command starting with / here is a Claude Code prompt, not a terminal command.

/github-portfolio-builder:github-portfolio-builder https://github.com/RachaelQuisel/github-portfolio-builder

After updating an installed plugin, start a new Claude Code session or type /reload-plugins in the current conversation. Claude asks for missing details only when they would change the review. You receive recommendations in chat and choose which changes to make.

For installation errors, see the setup and troubleshooting guide. GitHub installation and Claude Directory publication are separate; the verification record lists the versions checked.

Access and scope

Public reviews need access to current GitHub pages, but do not require a GitHub token. Private reviews use access you already have. An existing GitHub connection is optional.

The skill is designed to recommend changes without editing repositories, changing pins, opening pull requests, or publishing files. Your host's tool permissions determine what actions are technically possible. Use read-only permissions if you need to enforce that boundary.

The review assesses presentation and supporting evidence. It does not establish code correctness, security, measured business results, or hiring outcomes. The privacy notice explains how the host and requested sites process review content.
