git-proxy AGENTS.md

A project guide for GitProxy, a Git HTTP proxy that checks code changes before sending them to the real Git server. It documents the project structure, tools, commands, and main components.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when working on GitProxy, including its proxy server, processing chain, service API, database, or web interface, and when running its build, unit tests, end-to-end tests, or checks.
Why use it?
It gives a coding agent the repository context needed to build, run, test, lint, and format GitProxy correctly. GitProxy is software that can enforce policies and require approval before accepting pushes.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

git-proxy AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

AGENTS.md — GitProxy

Project Overview

GitProxy is a Git HTTP proxy that intercepts Git operations (primarily git push) and enforces organizational policies before allowing changes to reach the actual Git host.

It acts as:

  • A policy enforcement engine (via processors and plugins)
  • A review/approval gate (manual or automated)
  • A proxy server for Git operations
  • A UI + API layer for reviewing, approving, and auditing pushes

The core design principle is a chain-of-processors architecture where each Git action flows through ordered processing steps.

High-Level Architecture

GitProxy consists of four main components:

Contributor (git push)
   ↓
HTTP Proxy (/src/proxy)
   ↓
Action Chain (Processors + Plugins)
   ↓
Service API (/src/service)
   ↓
Database (audit, users, repos, approvals)
   ↓
Web UI (/src/ui)

1. Proxy Server (/src/proxy)

Express-based HTTP proxy that:

  • Intercepts Git operations
  • Parses requests into an Action
  • Executes the appropriate Action Chain
  • Blocks, rejects, or queues for approval

Core concepts:

  • Action — Represents a Git operation (push/pull/default)
  • Chain — Ordered list of processors
  • Processor (Step) — A single policy enforcement unit
  • Plugin — Custom processor injected externally

2. Service API (/src/service)

Express application responsible for:

  • UI communication
  • Authentication (Passport strategies)
  • Database access
  • Approval/rejection workflows

Default port: 8080

Authentication strategies supported:

  • Local
  • ActiveDirectory
  • OpenID Connect

3. Configuration (/src/config)

Loads and validates proxy.config.json.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
