AI Repo Commander

A safety-first userscript that lets AI assistants securely interact with git repositories using YAML-style commands. It provides strong guardrails, persistent de-duplication, a draggable debug panel with tools and settings, and robust paste/autosubmit for get_file.

Highlights

• Code-block only execution (only fenced YAML with the bridge header runs)
• Safety-first: STOP switch, strict validation, debounce + settle
• Resume-safe scanning: resuming marks on-screen commands as processed and shows Run again instead of auto-executing
• Persistent de-duplication per conversation (30-day TTL)
• Streaming-safe: waits for final text before executing
• Clear feedback: inline status and desktop notifications
• Cross-platform: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini
• Tools & Settings panel: bridge key editor, config JSON, clear history
• Robust paste & auto-submit with fallbacks for get_file

Quick Start

1. Install Tampermonkey or Violentmonkey.
2. Create a new userscript and paste src/ai-repo-commander.user.js.
3. Ask the assistant to produce a YAML block beginning with @bridge@ and ending with @end@.
4. Enter your bridge key when prompted (you can store it in the panel).
5. Adjust settings in Tools & Settings as needed.

Operation Summary

1. Monitor assistant messages
2. Detect a complete YAML command: header plus terminator
3. Debounce and settle, then re-validate
4. Execute via the bridge with retries and timeouts
5. Show inline status and store dedupe record
6. Expose a Run Again button for intentional re-execution

New in v1.6.2

• Resume-Safe Guard: On resume, treat like a cold start and mark visible commands as processed, preventing accidental re-execution.
• Example Field Support: Add example: true to any command block to make it inert. It’s silently skipped (no error UI).
• Paste Quality: Added padding around pasted content to preserve triple-backtick fences in ProseMirror fields.
• Debounce Timing Notes: If you see “debouncing → error,” try DEBOUNCE_DELAY: 5000–7000 and SETTLE_CHECK_MS: 1200–1500.
• Version: Bumped to 1.6.2.

Examples

Runnable - Not an example - (example: false (or absence) is runnable):

@bridge@
action: list_files
repo: rob/AI-Repo-Commander
path: .
@end@

Inert example (skipped silently):

@bridge@
action: update_file
repo: rob/AI-Repo-Commander
path: EXAMPLE.md
content: |
  This is just an example
  It won't execute  
example: true
@end@

Runtime Helpers

• AI_REPO_STOP(): emergency stop
• AI_REPO.clearHistory: clear dedupe history
• window.AI_REPO_COMMANDER: monitor, config, tests, history

Security Model

• Bridge key stored locally and masked, never logged
• Field validation including path safety and typed values
• Assistant-only and code-block-only execution by default
• STOP immediately halts scanning and API calls
