The DevHire overlay doesn't appear when I visit github.com
Most common cause: the github.com permission was never granted.
- Click the DevHire toolbar icon โ sidePanel opens
- Go to the Pipeline tab
- You should see a purple "Connect to GitHub" card โ click Connect to GitHub โ
- Chrome prompts for permission โ click Allow
- Refresh the github.com tab โ the overlay appears top-right
If the Connect card isn't visible: open the Settings tab โ Connection status. If it says "Connected" but no overlay appears, try removing + re-installing the extension.
I clicked "Allow" but still no overlay
The content script is registered after the permission grant, but the GitHub tab you have open needs a reload.
- Refresh the github.com tab (F5 or Ctrl+R)
- If still nothing, reload the extension at
chrome://extensionsโ DevHire โ reload icon - Visit a new github.com profile (e.g.
github.com/torvalds)
My GitHub PAT keeps being rejected with "dangerous scope"
By design โ we refuse PATs with scopes that grant access to private data or write actions. Your PAT must have only public_repo scope.
- Visit github.com/settings/tokens
- Generate new token (classic) โ tick ONLY the
public_repocheckbox - Do NOT tick:
repo,admin:*,delete_repo,write:* - Copy the new token โ paste into Settings โ GitHub Personal Access Token
Free tier daily limit (5 dossiers) is too low
That's by design โ Free tier is the trial. Upgrade to Solo at $5.99/mo for 100 dossiers/day, or Studio at $17.99/mo for unlimited via BYOK Gemini key. See all tiers โ
I want to cancel my subscription
- Open the original Lemon Squeezy receipt email โ the link is at the bottom: "Manage subscription"
- Click โ cancel anytime; you keep access until the end of the current billing period
- Or email yogesh@pixelforgehub.pro with your purchase email and we'll process it within 24 hours
7-day money-back guarantee: if you're within 7 days of your first payment, request a full refund โ no questions asked.
The AI dossier returned weird/wrong information
Gemini occasionally hallucinates on profiles with sparse public activity. Two things help:
- Check the Evidence trail accordion โ every claim shows the linked repo. If the repo doesn't actually back the claim, that's a hallucination โ flag it.
- If
personalization_confidenceis below 5, DevHire automatically falls back to a generic opener template. Use that instead.
Send specific bad outputs to yogesh@pixelforgehub.pro with the GitHub URL โ I'll tune the prompt.
Bulk select / Kanban / shortcuts don't work
These need Solo+ tier. Free tier shows the UI but the actions are tier-gated. Activate a Solo / Team / Agency license to unlock.
How do I export my data?
Two paths:
- CSV export โ Pipeline tab โ top-right CSV button. Includes username, name, status, notes, GitHub URL, saved timestamp.
- Full data export โ email yogesh@pixelforgehub.pro with your license key. We respond within 7 days with a JSON dump.
Diagnostics โ for "please describe the issue" emails
Paste these into your support email โ it cuts our back-and-forth in half:
- Chrome version: open
chrome://versionโ top line - DevHire version:
chrome://extensionsโ DevHire card โ small version number under the name - OS: Windows / macOS / Linux + version
- The GitHub URL where the bug happened (if applicable)
- Service worker console:
chrome://extensionsโ DevHire โ click "service worker" link โ screenshot any red errors
Known limitations (we're honest)
- Public GitHub data only โ no email enrichment (use Hunter.io or Apollo separately)
- Cold-email drafts only โ we never send mail on your behalf (regulatory wedge, not a bug)
- v1 supports github.com only โ Stack Overflow / dev.to / Hugging Face integration is on the v1.2 roadmap
- No mobile app โ desktop browser only. Sourcing happens at a desktop, by design.
