AI Analysis

●●SolidShip ItSolve My Problem

Detects Claude/Copilot/Cursor commits passively; AI briefing turn git noise into context.

Strengths
  • •Passive detection from git signals (author, branch patterns) requires zero agent integration
  • •Multi-provider LLM support (Anthropic/OpenAI/Gemini) avoids vendor lock-in
  • •Local-first, no telemetry aligns with security-conscious developer values
Weaknesses
  • •Agent detection heuristic-based (commit authors, branch names) fragile across tools and teams
  • •Built in 5 hours as solo Claude project suggests early maturity, likely missing edge cases

Post Description

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.
