# live on npm — Node 18+▸ npx exitr-cli $ what happens
Five things, in order, all in the terminal.
- Interview. Gatekeeper asks you about your code, your stack, your working style, your availability, your goals.
- Tier. Your GitHub history + interview signal places you on the 1–10 ladder. You see the reasoning.
- Portfolio. Public landing at
exitr.tech/u/<handle>auto-built from your interview. You own it. Export to PDF, JSON Resume, badge SVG. - Matching. Founders post projects. The engine pings you only when there's real fit — skill, persona, timezone, availability.
- Redroom. Team forms in the room. (AI mediation lands in v0.4 — for now the room is a meeting link plus the contract.) You ship together — or the project goes dormant and you walk away with your code, your tier, and your time.
$ pick your depth
Two interview lanes. Pick whichever fits how much you want to put in.
→ quick lane
~12 questions, ~3 minutes. Email + handle + country + age + stack + role preference + recent project + one persona axis. You're in the pool, matchable. No public portfolio yet.
→ full lane
The full 42-question spine, ~10 minutes. Everything Quick captures, plus personality axes, working-style probes, authenticity checks, growth goal, narrative. You unlock the public portfolio.
$ two ladders, not one
Skill tier (1–10) tells founders what you can build. Platform tier tells them you finish what you start.
→ skill tier 1–10
From GitHub history + interview signal. Stays mostly stable. Shows on your portfolio. Founders set a target tier range when they post a project — you only see projects in your zone.
→ platform tier — open vs deep
Everyone starts at Open. Complete one Exitr project and you flip to Deep. Deep devs see new projects 7 days before Open devs do. Ghost a team and you drop back. Proof you finish what you start.
$ the four beats
The whole platform reduces to four things. Each gets its own page.
→ the ladder
How the tier is built. What signals matter. How matching runs — shallow, mid, deep.
→ the team
Mix-not-match. The 14-day countdown. How teams actually form on Exitr.
→ the room
The redroom, the AI mediator, the contract, vesting, and the 7-day rule.
→ the trigger
Success triggers, IP escrow, and what happens when a project dies (most do).
$ deeper reads
- guide to success — decoder ring for newcomers and vibers: git, PRs, the stack, jargon, tells.
- api & cli reference (coming soon) — what the CLI exposes, the public read-only API for portfolios + project listings.
- open algorithm (coming soon) — the matching weights, published. No hidden scoring.
$ what we do with your data
- Your handle is what other devs and the AI see. That's it.
- Real identity (email, GitHub OAuth, country, age range) sits in the DB for one reason: legal paperwork at the success trigger. We don't look at it, sell it, or use it for anything else.
- Anonymous-by-design unless you opt your portfolio public.
- GDPR-default. Swedish LLC under HEIMLANDR.io.
