When to use this skill

​

Instructions

1. Ensure you are in the project’s root directory.
2. Check if a Git repository already exists. If not, run git init.
3. Create a .gitignore file to ensure ephemeral logs or sensitive secrets are not tracked. See the baseline .gitignore template below.
4. Execute git add . to stage the core AGENTS.md, .agents/brain/, and .agents/skills/ structures.
5. Create the “Genesis Commit” with the message git commit -m "chore: Genesis Commit - Initialize DSOM Cognitive Architecture".
6. Inform the user that the Immutable Ledger has been established and ask if there is a remote repository (like Gitea, GitLab, or GitHub) that they want you to push to.

Baseline .gitignore Template

# Python
__pycache__/
*.pyc
.venv/
venv/

# Environment Variables
.env
.env.local

# AI Ephemeral Artifacts (DO NOT IGNORE THE ENTIRE .agents/ FOLDER)
# Only ignore temporary scratch files if they exist.
.agents/brain/scratch/
.agents/brain/.system_generated/

​

Multi-Remote GitOps Configuration (Optional)

1. Create a combined remote named all: git remote add all <Primary_URL>
2. Add all target URLs as push endpoints: git remote set-url --add --push all <Primary_URL> git remote set-url --add --push all <Secondary_URL>
3. CRITICAL: Fix the default pull tracking so git pull doesn’t break: git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/main main

Architectural Note

• Why is this a skill? Because Git is not just version control for code; it is the physical “hippocampus” for the AI. Every action, artifact, and thought process is stored as a commit. Initializing it perfectly ensures the AI never suffers from amnesia.
