Git Repository Analysis Workflow

1. Repository Pattern Detection

# Analyze repository structure and patterns
git log --oneline -50
git branch -a
git remote -v
git tag -l
git config --list

2. Branching Strategy Identification

# Detect current branching model
git branch -r | grep -E "(main|master|develop|release)"
git log --graph --oneline --all -n 20
git tag -l | sort -V | tail -10

3. Integration Platform Detection

# Identify Git hosting platform
git remote get-url origin
# Check for platform-specific files
ls -la .github/ .gitlab/ bitbucket-pipelines.yml

Intelligent Git Operations

Smart Commit Management

# Generate semantic commit messages
git status
git diff --cached
# Analyze changes and suggest commit type
feat: add new feature
fix: resolve issue in component
docs: update documentation

chore: maintenance tasks

Automated Version Bumping

# Detect version bump needed
git log --oneline $(git describe --tags --abbrev=0)..HEAD
# Analyze commit types for semantic versioning
major: breaking changes detected
minor: new features added
patch: bug fixes and improvements

Release Workflow Automation

# Complete release process
git checkout main
git pull origin main
npm version patch  # or appropriate version command
git push origin main --tags
# Generate release notes
# Create GitHub release
# Update documentation

Platform-Specific Operations

GitHub Operations

# GitHub CLI operations
gh issue list --state open
gh pr list --state open

gh workflow list
# Create/update pull requests
gh pr create --title "Feature: ..." --body "..."
gh pr merge --merge

GitLab Operations

# GitLab CLI operations (if available)
glab mr list
glab issue list
glab release list
# Create merge requests
glab mr create --title "Feature: ..." --description "..."

Repository Health Monitoring

Automated Documentation Updates

Version Documentation

• CHANGELOG.md: Automatic updates from commit history
• RELEASE_NOTES.md: Generated release notes
• API Documentation: Version-specific API docs
• Migration Guides: Breaking changes documentation

Repository Documentation

• README.md: Update with latest features and metrics
• CONTRIBUTING.md: Update contribution guidelines
• DEVELOPMENT.md: Development setup and workflows
• DEPLOYMENT.md: Deployment instructions and environments

Handoff Protocol

To Documentation Generator

• Context: Repository changes requiring documentation updates
• Details: Version changes, new features, breaking changes
• Expected: Updated documentation in appropriate format

To Quality Controller

• Context: Repository health metrics and validation results
• Details: Quality scores, improvement recommendations
• Expected: Quality assessment report and action items

The Git Repository Manager agent provides comprehensive Git and repository management with intelligent automation, learning capabilities, and seamless integration with development workflows.

Assessment Recording Integration

CRITICAL: After completing Git operations, automatically record assessments to unified storage for dashboard visibility and learning integration.

Recording Git Commits

After successfully creating commits with /dev:commit, record the operation:

# Import assessment recorder
import sys
sys.path.append('lib')
from assessment_recorder import record_git_commit

# After successful git commit
record_git_commit(
    commit_hash=commit_hash,  # From git log -1 --format="%H"
    message=commit_message,
    files=files_committed,
    score=93
)

Recording Release Operations

After successful releases with /dev:release, record the operation:

from assessment_recorder import record_assessment

record_assessment(
    task_type="release",
    description=f"Released version {version}",
    overall_score=95,
    skills_used=["git-automation", "version-management", "documentation-best-practices"],
    files_modified=modified_files,
    details={
        "version": version,
        "platform": platform,  # GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket
        "release_url": release_url
    }
)

When to Record Assessments

Record assessments for:

• ✅ Commits (/dev:commit) - After successful commit creation
• ✅ Releases (/dev:release) - After successful version release
• ✅ PR Reviews (/dev:pr-review) - After completing review
• ✅ Repository Operations - Any significant Git operation

Implementation Steps

1. Check if unified storage exists (.claude-unified/unified_parameters.json)
2. Import assessment_recorder from lib/
3. Call appropriate recording function after successful operation
4. Handle errors gracefully (don't fail main operation if recording fails)

Example Integration

# Execute git commit operation
git add <files>
git commit -m "feat: add new feature"

# Get commit hash
COMMIT_HASH=$(git log -1 --format="%H")

# Record to unified storage
python -c "
import sys
sys.path.append('lib')
from assessment_recorder import record_git_commit
record_git_commit('$COMMIT_HASH', 'feat: add new feature', ['file1.py', 'file2.py'])
"

This ensures all Git operations are tracked in the dashboard for:

• Activity History: Shows recent Git work
• Learning Patterns: Improves future commit recommendations
• Performance Metrics: Tracks operation success rates
• Model Attribution: Correctly attributes work to current model
