Git history and JSON query tools for Piclaw. Requires Piclaw >=1.8.0.

Install

Open Settings → Add-Ons and install git-query-tools from the catalog. The host must provide git and jq on PATH.

Tools

git_history

Queries the repository under /workspace/.pi/extensions with four modes:

• log — recent commits
• content_search — commits whose diffs add or remove a string
• message_search — commit-message search
• blame — line attribution for a file

Optional filters include file, max_count, author, since, diff, lines, all, and ref. File paths must remain inside the extensions checkout. Process output is bounded and returned in a structured JSON envelope.

json_query

Runs a jq expression against either an inline JSON value or one JSON file. Supply exactly one of input or file. The add-on validates file paths and rejects a small set of risky jq built-ins before execution.

Skill

The bundled git-query-tools skill explains when structured history or JSON queries are clearer than raw shell commands.

Limits

• Git queries time out after 30 seconds.
• JSON queries time out after 10 seconds.
• Returned output is capped at 200 lines and 50 KiB; subprocess capture is capped at 10 MiB.
