Catalog tracking observation. This repository is measured with the same fixed window and ruleset, but it is not part of the published benchmark or its aggregate claims.

An open source agent microharness featuring persistent agency and recursive LLMs. Of bash, by bash, for bash; it's shells all the way down.

Adoption is broad. Many contributors are committing agent-authored work, which is what a real organisational rollout looks like.

What shapes this result

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

Assisted or autonomous

226assisted
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.

Inspect the matches

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

What entered the denominator

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

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

Reproduce this observation

Run the same detector locally.

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