Open-source talent development platform for the African tech ecosystem.
Skilluv turns every challenge into a real, opposable artifact — a merged pull request, a shipped project slice, a mentored bounty — instead of throwaway kata submissions. Proof over promise, artefact over exam.

- Compagnonnage tech, not exam factory. Autodidacts and career-switchers first ; artefacts (deliverables, attestations) replace certifications.
- Enterprises pay, talents don't. Revenue from mentoring, talent search, bounties, and grants — never a paywall on learning.
- AI-friendly, disclosure > prohibition. Three transparent zones
(learning / real project / tournament).
human_verifiedcapstones as the single trust checkpoint. - African context first. Mobile money payouts, low-bandwidth UX, offline-tolerant, French / English / Arabic i18n end-to-end.
- Explore the code, open issues, discuss architecture.
- Every repo ships with a
CONTRIBUTING.mdand aCODE_OF_CONDUCT.md. - Security reports: see each repo's
SECURITY.md. - Licensed AGPL-3.0 — ensures the platform stays open, forkable, and auditable by mentors and contributors who depend on it.
