First-time setup troubleshooting

The DevHire overlay doesn't appear when I visit github.com

Most common cause: the github.com permission was never granted.

  1. Click the DevHire toolbar icon โ†’ sidePanel opens
  2. Go to the Pipeline tab
  3. You should see a purple "Connect to GitHub" card โ€” click Connect to GitHub โ†’
  4. Chrome prompts for permission โ†’ click Allow
  5. 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.

  1. Refresh the github.com tab (F5 or Ctrl+R)
  2. If still nothing, reload the extension at chrome://extensions โ†’ DevHire โ†’ reload icon
  3. 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.

  1. Visit github.com/settings/tokens
  2. Generate new token (classic) โ†’ tick ONLY the public_repo checkbox
  3. Do NOT tick: repo, admin:*, delete_repo, write:*
  4. 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
  1. Open the original Lemon Squeezy receipt email โ€” the link is at the bottom: "Manage subscription"
  2. Click โ†’ cancel anytime; you keep access until the end of the current billing period
  3. 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_confidence is 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:

  1. Chrome version: open chrome://version โ†’ top line
  2. DevHire version: chrome://extensions โ†’ DevHire card โ†’ small version number under the name
  3. OS: Windows / macOS / Linux + version
  4. The GitHub URL where the bug happened (if applicable)
  5. Service worker console: chrome://extensions โ†’ DevHire โ†’ click "service worker" link โ†’ screenshot any red errors

Known limitations (we're honest)

Service status

DevHire backend (Firebase asia-south1 / Mumbai) status: operational

If something looks broken at chrome.runtime.lastError level, check Firebase Status: status.firebase.google.com. Lemon Squeezy: status.lemonsqueezy.com.
