Discover open source.Ship what matters.

The GitHub REST and search APIs, called with a server-side token. We index open issues from active repositories on a schedule and store a snapshot, so the counts you see are real but are as of the crawl date shown under the numbers on this page.

Not necessarily. We show assignment state, whether the issue is locked, how recently it moved and whether a pull request already points at it, but GitHub is the source of truth. Read the thread and ask the maintainer before you start work.

It is an estimate, labelled as one. It weighs the label on the issue, how much of the repository the change is likely to touch and how the project words its contribution guides. It is not a grade and it is not a gate.

Merged pull requests, open pull requests and reviews are counted separately, over a stated window, from public repositories only. There is no single quality score, because merge volume is not quality and a number that simple would be simple to fake.

No. Sponsor profiles link out to the funding provider the developer chooses. cyrus never stores card details and never takes a cut, so there is no payment surface to secure.

Nothing is fetched without your GitHub authorisation, private data stays out of public pages and shared outputs, and the token used for indexing never ships to the browser. Repository contents are treated as untrusted input: cyrus reads them, it does not run them.

Browsing programs, organizations, projects and issues is open with no account. Signing in adds your saved shortlist and dashboard. The catalog is open source under the terms in the repository.
