Gcc

What it does

Git Context Controller (GCC) provides lean, git-backed context management for LLM agents. It stores a combination of hash values, intent descriptions, and optional decision notes instead of lengthy markdown files. GCC offers two modes: one utilizing a Git repository for structured memory and another standalone mode compatible with previous versions.

When to use it

• Long conversations: When an agent needs to maintain context over extended interactions that would otherwise exceed token limits.
• Experimentation: To safely test different approaches using Git worktrees, providing isolation for experimentation.
• Cross-session memory: To reconstruct and leverage past decisions and reasoning across multiple sessions of the AI agent.
• Vector database integration: When combined with aiyoucli, GCC can automatically feed commit data into a vector memory system.

Key capabilities

• Lean storage: Stores approximately 50 tokens per entry, significantly reducing context size compared to previous versions.
• Git-backed truth: Uses Git commits as the source of record for all stored information.
• Safe experimentation: Enables branching and worktrees for isolated testing.
• Context reconstruction: Reconstructs full context on demand using git show.
• Standalone mode: Provides compatibility with previous versions through markdown files.

Example prompts

• "Show me the last 5 entries in my GCC."
• "What was the intent behind commit hash abc123?"
• "Display all decisions recorded in GCC."

Tips & gotchas

• Requires a basic understanding of Git for optimal use, especially when utilizing the Git-backed mode.
• The standalone mode offers compatibility but lacks the full benefits of Git versioning and isolation.
