What is a vibe score?
A vibe score is VibeTalent's public reputation metric. Its additive formula combines activity streak points, project points, badge bonuses, client-review points, endorsement points, and capped contribution-volume bonuses. These components do not have fixed percentage weights. The score helps clients compare activity and reputation alongside relevant project evidence; it is not a guarantee of skill or delivery.
The vibe score provides a summary of a builder's recorded activity and reputation. Some inputs come from GitHub; others come from platform activity, client reviews, and peer endorsements. Inspect the underlying evidence instead of treating the score as a screening certificate.
The formula adds points for streak days, projects, earned badges, reviews, endorsements, and contribution volume. Verified projects can contribute points from their automated quality score; flagged projects are excluded from that quality-based calculation. Contribution bonuses are capped. The components are additive rather than a 40/30/20/10 percentage split.
Vibe scores update daily as new commits and project changes come in. The score is public on every developer's profile, used to rank the global leaderboard, and consumed by VibeFinder Bot to match clients with builders who fit a project's requirements.
