Tools

Sets up an isolated workspace before feature work: uses the agent's built-in worktree tool when available, otherwise falls back to git worktree, then installs dependencies and runs baseline tests to confirm a clean start. From Superpowers.

Official MCP reference server for local Git repos: view status and diffs, stage and commit, create and switch branches, and search the commit log by date. Written in Python and runs with uvx; still in early development.

AI pair programming in your terminal: builds a repo map of the whole codebase, auto-commits changes to git, works with Claude, DeepSeek, OpenAI and almost any other model including local ones, and can run lint and tests after edits.

Detects hardcoded passwords, API keys and tokens in Git repos, files and stdin, and can run as a pre-commit hook or GitHub Action to block leaks. Now feature-frozen with security fixes only, as the author has moved on to Betterleaks.

Multi-language git hook manager: declare formatting, lint, secret scanning and other hooks in .pre-commit-config.yaml to run automatically before each commit, or have the agent self-check with pre-commit run --all-files before committing.

Git worktree manager (wt) built for running multiple AI agents in parallel: create, switch and clean up worktrees by branch name, and spin up a worktree and launch Claude in one command. Supports hooks, LLM-generated commit messages and one-step merges.

From Trail of Bits: reviews PRs, commits or diffs from a security angle, tracing history with git blame, estimating blast radius by caller count and checking test coverage gaps, then writes a Markdown review report.

Before tool calls run, blocks destructive Git and file commands (git reset --hard, rm -rf) and access to sensitive files like SSH keys and .env. Parses command semantics, so bash -c wrappers are caught too. Works with Claude Code, Codex and other coding CLIs; needs Node.js 18+.

Manages stacked branches and dependent pull requests with the gh stack GitHub CLI extension: splits work into layered branches with one PR each, then handles push, submit, sync, rebase and merge, using flags that keep commands non-interactive for agents. Official GitHub skill.
