Consistency isn’t discipline, it’s systems — agreed.
The real issue isn’t auto-commit vs manual commit, it’s what we choose to measure.
GitHub graphs were never designed as a productivity signal, yet we collectively turned them into one. Your tool doesn’t fake work — it exposes how shallow the metric already is.
From a systems perspective, this is just friction removal: writing code ≠ remembering to perform a symbolic action every 24h.
The only real risk is when the signal replaces the substance. As long as commits remain traceable to real changes, automation here is no different from CI, linters, or scheduled jobs.
In short: this doesn’t reduce discipline — it reveals where discipline was never the bottleneck.
I’m publishing research and tooling that sidestep metric-based validation in favor of real traceable output: https://zenodo.org/records/18100154
Curious to see how people react when a “vibe metric” gets optimized like any other system.
