Gator Command
Git-native governance for AI-assisted engineering.
Gator turns your repo into an intelligence surface. The AI agent builds structured maps of your codebase (charters), a strategic operations brief (pulse), and project assessments — all committed to Git. A deterministic pre-commit gate blocks commits when the agent changes code without updating the map.
Local-first. Git-native. Works with Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI. Apache 2.0 licensed.
Install
pip install pipx # if you don't have pipx yet
pipx ensurepath # add to PATH (restart terminal after)
pipx install gator-command
Quick Start
cd /path/to/your/repo
gator gatorize . # install governance into this repo
gator init # start a governed session
gator dashboard # open the intelligence console
The agent reads the governance layer and orients to your project. Your first git commit fires the hooks.
Upgrade
pipx upgrade gator-command
cd /path/to/your/repo
gator gatorize . # refresh templates and hooks
Your content is always preserved. Only templates and scripts refresh.

What Gator Provides
- Repo intelligence — charters map code structure, pulse summarizes momentum, assessments provide AI-generated evaluation. All committed to Git.
- Governance enforcement — a deterministic pre-commit hook that blocks commits when code changes without charter updates. No LLM in the gate. Configurable: strict, warn, or off.
- Dashboard — a local web console for browsing your governance layer, session history, and project state. Full file history with git version navigation.
- Session persistence — the governance layer carries project context across sessions and across models. Switch from Claude to Codex mid-project without losing architectural understanding.
How It Works
gator gatorize .installs a.gator/folder into your repo with governance scaffolding- AI agents read the constitution and charters to understand your codebase
- Every
git commitruns a deterministic hook that validates charter-alongside-code - Session snippets capture what context produced each commit
gator dashboardmakes it all browsable in a local web UI
