✦Platform · Features

Everything a contributor needs. One platform.

Discovery, prep, tracking and proof - the full arc from "I should ship something" to a merged PR, without ever leaving the index.

✦Contributor workflow

Your prep lives on the platform. Not across twelve tabs.

Sign in once and cyrus keeps the whole picture in one place: which issues you took, what stage each is at, which orgs you follow, and which program window is still open.

  • Every issue keeps its real GitHub state - labels, last touch, and the live thread.
  • Saved organizations feed the profile pages, so you see an org's load before you commit.
  • The board lives in your browser first; a real session syncs it to private rows you own.

Cyrus workflow

Saved to merged PR

Saved issues01

Save an issue once and it lands on your board with its labels, its age and the repository it belongs to.

Working stages02

saved › interested › working on it › completed. One click moves an issue through your pipeline.

Program windows03

The calendar says which phase each program is in today, from the organizer's own published dates.

Org fit04

Language mix, open-issue load, review latency and five years of accepted projects - per organization, from GitHub.

Real GitHub threads onlyYour board stays yours
✦Dashboard & controls

Always know exactly
where you stand.

cyrus gives your season complete visibility from a single board. Instead of chasing issue threads, org READMEs and program docs across a fortnight, you instantly see what you took, what stage it is at, which orgs are worth your time and how close you are to applying.

✦Program intelligence

Collect once. Satisfy all three.

GSoC, LFX and GSSoC reward the same underlying work: a credible profile, a visible PR history and a stack that matches the org. cyrus builds that evidence once and maps it to every program you're targeting.

Google Summer of Code

175–350 h mentored project. One proposal, one summer, a stipend and a permanent open-source footprint.

LFX Mentorship

140 h terms, three rounds a year. Smaller scope, faster feedback, same mentor rigor.

GSSoC

A 45-day contribution sprint with a scored issue ledger - the beginner on-ramp that rewards steady PRs.

✦The cyrus method

From zero to accepted in ten weeks. Here's exactly how.

cyrus walks you through every step. You never have to figure out what to do next.

Day 0Pick the season

GSoC, LFX, Outreachy or GSSoC - the program calendar shows the phase each one is in today and the window you can still hit.

Days 1–3Shortlist five organizations

Profile pages put an org's language mix, live open-issue count and accepted-project history on one screen.

Days 3–10Take real issues

Save the issues you want to work; each one carries its labels, its age and the link back to the live thread.

Days 10–35Ship small merged PRs

Move issues through working and done on your board. A merged pull request is the strongest line in any proposal.

Days 35–56Draft with the archive

Five years of accepted projects by size, stack and difficulty become your structure.

Days 56–70Apply, tracked

Every window on one calendar. No tab left un-refreshed.
