02Drivers

What shapes this result

Mode, timing, and detected signatures show whether the result reflects broad adoption or one concentrated workflow.

Assisted or autonomous

21assisted

0autonomous

Assisted — a developer’s identity authored the commit and the agent added itself as co-author. Autonomous — a bot identity authored the commit without a human identity attached.

Agent share by month

Peak month: 55%. Bars are scaled to that peak, not to 100%.

Inspect the matches

Public commit samples let you inspect the signatures behind the aggregate result.

04Method

What entered the denominator

The result begins with commit history, removes merges and routine automation, and reports literal agent signatures as a lower bound.

Exclusion ledger

Commits in window	406
Merge commits removed	−67
CI / dependency bots removed	−0
Considered	339

Bots are excluded from the denominator entirely. Agent attribution requires a literal supported signature; no code-style inference is used.

Run the same detector locally.

Deterministic signature matching; no code-style inference. Squash merges can remove trailers, so this result remains a measured floor.
