CLI that tells you what your AI agents did while you were away

AI coding agents are pushing commits across my repos overnight, and I kept losing track of what changed. So I built wip — a CLI tool for developer situational awareness.

It scans your git repos, passively detects agent activity (Claude, Copilot, Cursor, Devin) from commit authors and branch patterns, and shows you the full picture: dirty files, stashes, branches, sync status. Add
wip ai briefing and it generates a narrative summary with suggested next steps.

Zero config agent detection (works out of the box)
Supports Anthropic, OpenAI, and Gemini for AI briefings
Local-first, no telemetry, MIT licensed
Python 3.9+, installable via pip/pipx

Built end-to-end with Claude Code (Opus 4.6) in ~5 hours.
