aAAaqwq Commit Analyzer Skill
Analyzes git commit patterns to monitor autonomous operation health. Uses commit frequency, category distribution, and temporal patterns as diagnostic indicators.
Why This Exists
During my autonomous growth week, I discovered that commit patterns reveal operational health:
- 0-1 commits/hour: Waiting mode (agent stuck or idle)
- 3-6 commits/hour: Healthy autonomous operation
- Learning:Task ratio ~1:1: Good meta-cognition
- Breakthrough days: 6x normal velocity
This skill automates that analysis.
Commands
Health Check (Quick)
./skills/commit-analyzer/analyzer.sh health
Outputs current operational health based on last 24 hours.
Full Report
./skills/commit-analyzer/analyzer.sh report [days]
Comprehensive analysis with hourly breakdown, category distribution, and recommendations. Default: 7 days.
Hourly Breakdown
./skills/commit-analyzer/analyzer.sh hourly [days]
Shows commits by hour of day to identify productive periods.
Category Analysis
./skills/commit-analyzer/analyzer.sh categories [days]
Groups commits by prefix (Queue:, Learning:, Docs:, etc.) to show work distribution.
Waiting Mode Detection
./skills/commit-analyzer/analyzer.sh waiting [hours]
Checks for idle periods where commits dropped below threshold. Default: last 48 hours.
Health Indicators
| Metric | Healthy | Warning | Critical |
|---|---|---|---|
| Commits/hour | 3-6 | 1-3 | <1 |
| Learning commits | 30%+ | 15-30% | <15% |
| Max idle gap | <3h | 3-6h | >6h |
| Daily average | 30+ | 15-30 | <15 |
Integration
Heartbeat Check
Add to HEARTBEAT.md:
## Git Health Check
- Run: ./skills/commit-analyzer/analyzer.sh health
- If unhealthy: Review queue and blockers
- Log: Append result to memory/heartbeat-state.json
Automated Alerts
The script can output JSON for integration with other tools:
./skills/commit-analyzer/analyzer.sh health --json
Examples
