| description | Initializes git-agent for a repository — generates commit scopes from git history and .gitignore via AI. Use when the user asks to "configure git", "setup git", "set commit scopes", "update gitignore", "create gitignore", or needs project-specific Git settings. |

CRITICAL:
- Always preserve custom
.gitignore rules before running git-agent init --gitignore.
- On auth error (401), retry the same
git-agent init command with --free appended.
- Verify
git config user.name and git config user.email; if either is missing, use AskUserQuestion tool to collect it from the user.
- Parse
$ARGUMENTS to determine mode:
- Empty → run both scope and gitignore
scope → run only scope generation
gitignore → run only .gitignore generation
- If running gitignore and
.gitignore already exists:
- Read the current file
- Identify lines that are NOT part of the standard git-agent generated block (anything between
# --- git-agent --- markers or common auto-generated patterns)
- Save those custom rules
- Run
git-agent init with the appropriate flags:
- Both:
git-agent init --scope --gitignore --force
- Scope only:
git-agent init --scope --force
- Gitignore only:
git-agent init --gitignore --force
- On auth error (401), retry the same command with
--free appended.
- If custom
.gitignore rules were saved in step 3, append them back and show git diff .gitignore.
