CLI-only shortcuts for metagit agents — workspace catalog, discovery, prompts, sync, layout, and config. Use instead of MCP or HTTP API when operating from a shell or agent_mode session.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Metagit CLI (agent shortcuts)

Use this skill when an agent should drive metagit **only through the `metagit` command**. Do not call MCP tools or `metagit api` from workflows covered here unless the user explicitly asks.

Set non-interactive defaults when automating:

```bash
export METAGIT_AGENT_MODE=true
```

**Token hygiene:** do not dump `detect` yaml/json, `config example`, or a full umbrella `.metagit.yml` into context. Prefer `-o summary`. Write full detect payloads with `--output-file .metagit/.detect/…`. Never run `metagit detect repo_map`. Bootstrap with `metagit init --kind application --no-prompt` (see `metagit-bootstrap`).

<!-- modality:context_reduction -->
<!-- modality:campaign_board_link -->

Agents: `metagit config show --json` refuses above 80 repos unless `--confirm-full`. `workspace list --json` omits `summary.workspace` unless `--include-workspace`. Maps/lists are paged (default 80). Large umbrellas: `metagit prompt workspace -k large-workspace --text-only`.

**Session start** (from umbrella repo with `.metagit.yml`):

```bash
metagit context pack --tier 0 --json
metagit prompt workspace -k session-start --text-only -c .metagit.yml
```

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add metagit-ai/metagit-cli/metagit-cli@sha256:489bf9e36297bc54

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261031.5d6c554, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
