Initialise a git repository with optional configuration for agent workflows.
Run git init in the current working directory. Confirm to the user that the repository has been initialised.
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:
AGENTS.md exists in the current directoryThe 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.
### Rules
1. **ALWAYS commit your changes immediately after completing a task or reaching any logical stopping point.** Do not defer. Do not batch. Do not skip.
2. **ALWAYS commit before ending your session.** The working directory MUST be clean (all changes committed) when you finish. Leaving uncommitted changes is a failure state.
3. **Use clear, descriptive commit messages** that explain what was done and why.
4. **If in doubt, commit.** It is always better to have one commit too many than one too few.
### To be absolutely clear
- "I'll commit later" — **No. Commit now.**
- "It's just a small change" — **Commit it.**
- "I'm about to make another change" — **Commit the current one first.**
- "The user didn't ask me to commit" — **Irrelevant. Commit anyway.**
After creating or updating AGENTS.md, commit it with an appropriate message.
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:
.gitignore based on their inputnode_modules/, dist/, .env, *.log, etc.__pycache__/, *.pyc, .venv/, venv/, .env, *.egg-info/, etc..DS_Store, .AppleDouble, .LSOverride, ._*.idea/, .vscode/, *.swp, *.swo, *.sublime-*.gitignore with an appropriate messageIf the user declines, skip this step.
