Structured Git-history and JSON-query tools for Piclaw. Requires Piclaw >=1.8.0, git, and jq on PATH.

Install

Open Settings → Add-Ons and install dev-tools from the catalog.

Tools

git_history

Modes:

• log — recent commits
• content_search — find a string in commit diffs
• message_search — search commit messages
• blame — attribute file lines

Filters include file, author, date, ref, all branches, patch output, maximum count, and blame line range.

json_query

Runs a jq expression against exactly one source: a workspace file or inline JSON input. The tool validates paths and blocks risky jq built-ins and patterns.

Limits

• file paths must remain under /workspace
• Git queries time out after 30 seconds
• jq queries time out after 10 seconds
• returned output is capped at 200 lines and 50 KiB
• subprocess capture is capped at 10 MiB

Both tools return structured JSON envelopes and show progress in interactive sessions.
