A POSSIBLE BUILD DIRECTION

From prompt to prototype.

Outcode’s editorial suggestions for this idea. Adapt the scope to your skills, available data and the people you want to help.

A small first version

Map recent contributors to folders in a public repository and show areas with concentrated change history, with links to the underlying commits.

How to test it

Check renamed files, bots and bulk formatting commits. Ask maintainers whether the map reflects knowledge ownership rather than assuming authorship proves expertise.

A direction for a larger project

Combine review participation with commit history and compare the resulting recommendations. Document how different time windows change concentration estimates.
