An asciinema recording can be reposted under a lookalike developer profile. Check the linked project and recording history before granting repository access or acting on a technical claim.

Compare the developer and recordings

  • Compare the full ~handle profile path with links from the developer’s known GitHub account or website.
  • Review several casts for topics, descriptions and command examples that fit the claimed work.
  • Compare recording timestamps with the project releases or activity being claimed.
  • Check repository links directly through the known project. Do not share tokens, passwords or private repository access in response to an unconfirmed request.

Preserve the technical claim

  • Save profile and cast URLs before content changes, with screenshots and capture times.
  • Include the copied description or disputed project claim, not just the profile avatar.
  • Link to the developer’s known page and the project record used for comparison.
