In Show HN: Git for AI Agentshi guys.
been working on something i think is fundamentally missing in today's workflow with ai agents.
vcs.
i find myself struggling with questions that agents can't answer like "why did you do it?", "when did u delete this folder? why?", etc. or trying to /rewind (after a /compact...) or basically `bisect` to find when and why something was done by the agent in the current / previous session.
just like git did for code, i think we are the same core capabilities with ai agents
so...
i developed an open source solution for that (currently supporting claude code)
would love to get feedback, contribution or maybe other ideas or solutions you find for those problems.
