Here Be Git
Initialise a git repository with optional configuration for agent workflows.
Workflow Step 1: Initialise Git Repository
Run git init in the current working directory. Confirm to the user that the repository has been initialised.
Step 2: Agent Commit Instructions
Ask the user:
Would you like me to add instructions for the agent to always commit when it's done with a task?
If the user confirms:
Check if AGENTS.md exists in the current directory If it exists, append the commit instructions to it If it doesn't exist, create it with the commit instructions
The commit instructions to add:
Git Workflow
- Always commit your changes when you have completed a task or reached a logical stopping point
- Use clear, descriptive commit messages that explain what was done and why
- Ensure the working directory is clean (all changes committed) before ending your session
After creating or updating AGENTS.md:
Check if CLAUDE.md exists in the current directory If it doesn't exist, create it with just @AGENTS.md followed by a newline If it exists but doesn't already have @AGENTS.md at the top, prepend @AGENTS.md followed by a newline to the existing content Commit both files together with an appropriate message Step 3: Gitignore Configuration
Ask the user:
Would you like me to create a .gitignore? If so, what flavour or patterns should I include? (e.g., Node.js, Python, macOS, IDE files, or specific files/patterns)
If the user provides a flavour or patterns:
Generate an appropriate .gitignore based on their input For common flavours, include standard patterns: Node.js: node_modules/, dist/, .env, .log, etc. Python: pycache/, .pyc, .venv/, venv/, .env, .egg-info/, etc. macOS: .DS_Store, .AppleDouble, .LSOverride, ._ IDE files: .idea/, .vscode/, .swp, .swo, .sublime- Include any specific files or patterns the user mentions Commit the .gitignore with an appropriate message
If the user declines, skip this step.
Notes If git is already initialised in the directory, inform the user and skip to Step 2 Use the AskUserQuestion tool for the confirmation prompts Keep commits atomic and well-described
