Your Repository Knows More About Your Team Than Your Team Does
summary
Team X-Ray is a VS Code extension that analyzes people-level signals from a GitHub repository to reveal who communicates with whom, who mentors, and who enjoys particular classes of problems. The tool evolved from using Model Context Protocol (MCP) to calling the Copilot SDK with custom tools for native access to repository and team data, and the talk covers building that architecture plus techniques to detect and separate bot-generated commits so measured expertise reflects real humans rather than automated agents.
