Personalized Rationale#

Each of your top 5 matches includes a "Why You" card — a 2-sentence AI-generated explanation that connects your specific algorithmic strengths to the issue's requirements.

How it's generated#

lib/ai/explanations.ts

typescript

// The prompt sent to Gemini
const prompt = `
Candidate LeetCode Solved Tags: ${JSON.stringify(tags)}
Issue Title: "${issueTitle}"
Issue Body: "${issueBody.slice(0, 800)}"

Explain in 2 sentences why this candidate's specific
algorithm skills qualify them for this issue.
Be concrete, reference specific algorithms.
`;

Tip

"Why You" explanations are cached in the database after first generation. Refreshing the page won't re-generate them or cost additional API calls.

Example Output#

Here's what a typical explanation looks like:

Example: React Issue #24198

Your experience solving 15 Dynamic Programming problems demonstrates strong memoization skills, which directly apply to the caching optimization this issue requires. With 12 Binary Search solutions under your belt, you'll be comfortable implementing the sorted lookup this performance fix demands.
