Here Be Git

Spins up a git repo and optionally drops in an AGENTS.md file with aggressively worded instructions telling AI agents to commit after every change. The tone is deliberately forceful ("THIS IS NOT OPTIONAL", "ZERO exceptions") because apparently some agents need that level of direction to actually commit their work. Also handles .gitignore setup for common stacks like Node or Python. Honestly, the commit instructions feel a bit over the top, but if you're running agent workflows where uncommitted changes keep getting lost, the nuclear option might be what you need. Works on voice trigger like "here be git" or "init git".

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 — CRITICAL, MANDATORY, NO EXCEPTIONS

> **THIS IS NOT OPTIONAL.** Every agent operating in this repository MUST follow this workflow after every change, no matter how small. There are ZERO exceptions to this rule. Skipping a commit is never acceptable. If you have made any change to any file, you MUST commit before moving on.
