Show HN: Wip – Monitor AI agent commits and local Git state from the CLI

2 points

4 months ago

wip is a CLI tool that scans your git repos and passively detects AI agent activity from git signals — commit authors, branch naming patterns — then surfaces it alongside your own work: dirty files, stashes, branches, ahead/behind status.

  The problem: AI coding agents (Claude, Copilot, Cursor, Devin) push commits, create branches, and open PRs across your repos. You come back and have no idea what changed. wip gives you that picture in one
  command.

  Features:
  - Agent detection with active/recent/stale status
  - AI-powered narrative briefings (Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini)
  - WIP task tracker linked to repos
  - JSON output for scripting
  - Local-first, no telemetry

  Built the whole thing with Claude Code (Opus 4.6) in about 5 hours, idea to PyPI. Python 3.9+, MIT licensed.

  Would love feedback — especially on what signals you'd want detected beyond commit authors and branch prefixes.
