🧬 atrophy is live — don't let your skills go quiet

[kvcops]

🧬 atrophy is officially live on PyPI

Hey everyone 👋

After a lot of late nights (written by human hands, I checked the commit velocity),
atrophy v0.1.0 is now live.

pip install atrophy

🤔 What is this?

You've probably felt it but never measured it.

You use Cursor. You use Copilot. You ship faster than ever.
But quietly — the SQL you used to write from memory is now copy-pasted.
The regex you used to craft is now a chat prompt.
The async bug you used to debug yourself is now "let me ask Claude."

Every time AI does the hard part for you, your brain skips that rep.
Skipped reps lead to atrophy.

atrophy connects to your local git history and shows you exactly which skills
are fading — and how fast. Then it fights back with personalized weekly challenges
built from patterns in your own codebase. Not LeetCode. Not generic tutorials.
Your forgotten skills, in your actual stack.

🚀 What's in v0.1.0

• ✅ 5-signal AI vs human commit detection (calibrated to your pace, not a generic average)
• ✅ 10 skill disciplines tracked across any language, any codebase
• ✅ 3-layer skill detection: Tree-sitter AST → LLM semantic → keyword fallback
• ✅ Animated Textual TUI dashboard
• ✅ Personalized weekly challenge engine
• ✅ Works 100% offline — your code never leaves your machine

💬 I want to hear from you

This is the first release and I'm actively shaping where it goes next. A few things I'm genuinely curious about:

• What skill do you think you've lost the most to AI assistance?
• Would you use this in a corporate environment? (air-gapped with Ollama Local is supported)
• What's missing? — VS Code extension? Team dashboards? A compare command?

Drop your thoughts below. Every response shapes the roadmap.
