Contributor Recognition System
The project actively recognizes individuals who contribute to either the SuperClaude_Framework or the SuperClaude_Website. Recognition is automated through a Netlify function that interfaces with the GitHub API.
Contributor Categories
The project distinguishes between contributors based on the repository they have worked on:
| Repository | Description |
|---|---|
| SuperClaude_Framework | Core framework logic, AI specialists, and slash commands. |
| SuperClaude_Website | React-based frontend and documentation site. |
Sources: src/pages/ContributorsPage.js:63-79, netlify/functions/get-contributors.js:24-27
Data Retrieval Logic
The website uses a backend function to aggregate contributor data, filtering out primary maintainers and bots to highlight community participation.
This sequence illustrates how the system fetches and processes contributor information dynamically.
