What hardware is required for the Repentance skill?

You need a Pavlok wearable device (Zap, Vibe, or Beep) and a valid Pavlok API key to communicate with the hardware via the provided scripts.

How does the skill handle safety and limits?

The skill requires environment variables such as LIMIT_DAY_PAVLOK_COUNTS and LIMIT_PAVLOK_ZAP_VALUE to ensure stimuli stay within user-defined safety parameters.

Does it keep a record of the feedback cycles?

Yes, the skill uses a local SQLite database (defaulting to app.db) to track the state and history of every execution cycle.

Can I choose different types of feedback?

Yes, you can configure the PAVLOK_TYPE_PUNISH environment variable to trigger a zap, vibration, or beep depending on your preference.

Productivity & Workflow

Automates the execution of physical feedback stimuli via Pavlok hardware to reinforce accountability in development workflows.

The Repentance skill integrates the Pavlok wearable ecosystem directly into the Claude Code environment, enabling a unique physical feedback loop for developers. By executing scripts that communicate with the Pavlok API, it manages a cycle of 'punishments'—such as zaps, vibrations, or beeps—based on activity tracked in a local database. This tool is designed for users experimenting with Pavlovian conditioning to improve focus, maintain discipline, or implement negative reinforcement for specific coding errors or failed automated tasks.

Key Features

01Enforces configurable safety limits for daily zap counts and intensity

02Tracks execution history using a local SQLite database integration

03Manages punishment states including pending, running, and failed cycles

04Provides standardized JSON output for seamless CLI agent monitoring

05Executes queued physical stimuli (zaps, vibrations, beeps) via Pavlok API

Use Cases

01Automating habit-correction routines during long-form coding sessions

02Tracking and executing accumulated accountability tasks at the end of a workday

03Implementing negative reinforcement loops for failed builds or linting errors
