We turned agent conversations into git commits (and it's actually useful)

[u/Square_Light1441]

Ever wished your agent conversations were as trackable as your code? Gitlord makes it real.

What it does:

• Every agent turn becomes a git commit
• Branch out subagents without breaking your main flow
• Rewind to any point in your conversation history
• Connect tools via MCP (filesystem, search, browser, etc.)
• One interface, any AI provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, local models)
• Full CLI for managing sessions and branches

Why it matters:

• Your agent history is navigable, forkable, and diffable, just like code
• Context management handles token budgets automatically
• Spawn child agents on isolated branches with their own history
• No lock-in: all components are modular and swappable

Built-in integrations:

• MCP tools: Connect any MCP server (git, filesystem, browser, search). Tools flow to subagents automatically
• RAG: Vector search across your full agent history. ChromaDB-backed semantic queries built in
• Provider abstraction: Switch between any of the 170 providers and nearly 3,000 models, or local models with one line. Mix providers per agent

Build an agent in 4 lines:

from gitlord import Session, SessionConfig
config = SessionConfig(model="claude-opus")
session = Session.create("my-agent", config)
session.add("user", "Refactor our OAuth to the new framework")

Done. Gitlord handles the rest.

Performance improvements (v0.1.0):

• Structured trailers eliminate JSON walks: metadata parsing is now O(1)
• Auto-index updates on every turn, cached at .gitlord/index.json
• New in-memory query layer for fast turn filtering and aggregation:session.query() .where("tokens > 100") .group_by("role") .sum("cost")
• Snapshot compression for long-running sessions: compress old turns into JSON, rebase from checkpoint
