axm-git — Deterministic Git workflows for AI agents
Features
- 🔍 Preflight — Structured working tree status with diff summary
- 🌿 Branch — Create or checkout branches with one call
- 📦 Commit — Batched atomic commits with auto-retry on commit-hook fixes and optional author identity injection
- 🏷️ Tag — One-shot semver tagging from Conventional Commits
- 🚀 Push — Push with dirty-check, auto-upstream detection, and force support
- 🌲 Worktree — Add, remove, or list git worktrees
- 🔀 PR — Create GitHub pull requests with optional auto-merge
- 🔐 GitHub authentication declaration — Publishes the
gh auth statusprobe andgh auth loginrecovery command through theaxm.credentialsregistry, with distinctlogged_in,logged_out, andnot_installedstates - 🧭 Error Recovery — When called on a non-git directory, tools suggest nearby git repos
- 🪪 Identity — Resolve git author from
git-profiles.tomlwith schedule-based or explicit profile selection. Schedule rules apply only under user-configuredworkspace_paths; comparison is timezone-aware via the optionaltimezonefield (defaultEurope/Paris). The whole schedule can be switched off withschedule.enabled = false(defaults totrue), in which case resolution falls through to the default identity - 🔎 Phase Lookup —
get_phase_commit()retrieves commit hashes for protocol phases
Installation
uv add axm-git
Quick Start
# Check what changed
git_preflight(path="/path/to/repo")
# → {files: [{path: "foo.py", status: "M"}, ...], clean: false, text: "git_preflight | 1 files · dirty\n..."}
# Create or switch branch
git_branch(name="feat/new-feature", path="/path/to/repo")
# → {branch: "feat/new-feature"}
# Commit in batches
git_commit(path="/path/to/repo", commits=[
{"files": ["src/foo.py"], "message": "feat: add foo"},
{"files": ["tests/test_foo.py"], "message": "test: add foo tests"},
])
# → {results: [{sha: "abc1234", precommit_passed: true}, ...]}
# Tag a release
git_tag(path="/path/to/repo")
# → {tag: "v0.2.0", bump: "minor", pushed: true}
# Push to remote
git_push(path="/path/to/repo")
# → {branch: "main", remote: "origin", pushed: true}
MCP Tools
git_preflight
Report working tree changes so the agent can plan commits.
| Parameter | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
path |
. |
Project root directory |
diff_lines |
200 |
Max diff lines to include (0 to disable) |
Returns: file list with status (M, A, D, ??), diff stat, clean flag, and a compact text summary for agent display.
git_branch
Create or checkout a git branch.
| Parameter | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
name |
required | Branch name |
from_ref |
None |
Ref to branch from (tag, commit, branch) |
checkout_only |
False |
If True, checkout existing branch without creating |
delete |
False |
If True, delete the branch (git branch -D) instead of creating/checking out |
path |
. |
Project root directory |
Returns: {branch: "<current branch>"} on success.
git_commit
Execute one or more atomic commits with commit-hook handling.
| Parameter | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
path |
. |
Project root directory |
commits |
required | List of commit specs (see below) |
profile |
None |
Identity profile name — overrides schedule-based resolution from git-profiles.toml |
strict |
False |
When True, a non-Conventional-Commit message is a hard failure instead of a warning |
Each commit spec:
| Field | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
files |
✅ | Files to stage |
message |
✅ | Commit summary (Conventional Commits) |
body |
Extended commit body |
When a commit hook auto-fixes files (e.g. ruff --fix), the tool re-stages and retries once automatically.
Identity is resolved once per call (not per commit). When resolved, each commit includes --author="Name <email>". The result includes an author key ({name, email} or null).
git_tag
Compute the next semver version from Conventional Commits, create and push the tag.
| Parameter | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
path |
. |
Project root directory |
version |
auto | Override the computed version (e.g. "v1.0.0") |
Pipeline: clean tree check → CI status check → semver bump → annotate tag → hatch-vcs verify → push.
git_push
Push the current branch to a remote after verifying a clean working tree.
| Parameter | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
path |
. |
Project root directory |
remote |
origin |
Remote name |
set_upstream |
True |
Auto-set upstream for new branches |
force |
False |
Force-push using --force-with-lease (safe: only overwrites if the remote has not advanced past our tracking ref) |
force_unconditional |
False |
When True (and force set), use a bare --force instead — unconditional overwrite (data-loss risk) |
Pipeline: repo check → dirty check → detect branch → detect upstream → push.
git_worktree
Add, remove, or list git worktrees.
| Parameter | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
action |
required | add, remove, or list |
path |
. |
Repository path (git-root resolution runs here, so a fresh sibling worktree works) |
worktree_path |
None |
Worktree location for add/remove (may not exist yet). When omitted, path doubles as the worktree location (legacy form) |
branch |
None |
Branch name for add |
base |
None |
Base ref for add (defaults to repo default) |
force |
False |
Force removal for the remove action |
git_pr
Create a GitHub pull request with optional auto-merge.
| Parameter | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
path |
. |
Project root directory |
title |
required | Pull request title |
body |
None |
Pull request description |
base |
None |
Base branch (defaults to repo default) |
auto_merge |
False |
Enable auto-merge when checks pass |
