How to follow the live changeset log with a monitoring agent with git-ai

Have an agent watch every accepted update and report what matters to each component, including in Slack.

Who it is forTech lead who wants to know which agent changed what in a repo receiving hundreds of changes a day

The problemOn a busy shared branch nobody can read every landed change, so risky edits go unnoticed.

The outcomeA monitoring agent follows the changeset stream and posts a short report per component, optionally to Slack.

What you need first

  • Linux or macOS
  • Go 1.26, a C toolchain, Meson and Ninja (the build compiles a bundled Git)
  • No paid keys needed; conflict resolution can use any LLM provider, a deterministic tool, or none
  • SQLite or PostgreSQL plus object storage (file, S3, GCS, Azure) only if you move the repo state off local Git

Steps

  1. Read doc/graft/SUPERFAN.md for how monitoring agents follow the changeset stream
  2. Read doc/graft/SUPERFAN-CHAT.md for the Slack setup
  3. Start the server and land a few changes from different agents
  4. Use the graft CLI to list or watch the changeset log and confirm each entry shows its operation and actor

Prompt for your agent

In feder-cr/git-ai, follow doc/graft/SUPERFAN.md to set up a monitoring agent on a running server and have it summarize the last <n> landed changes by component. Verify each summary names the agent that made the change.

Caveat. Superfan agents and Slack chat have their own docs and config; the README only lists them, so expect to read those pages before it works.

About git-ai

Version control built for coding agents instead of humans, so many agents can work on one codebase without stepping on each other. View feder-cr/git-ai on GitHub.
