#### Entire CLI: Governance-First Orchestration
**What it is**: Agent-native platform focused on **governance + sequential handoffs** vs pure parallel coordination.
**Launched**: February 2026 by Thomas Dohmke (ex-CEO GitHub), $60M funding
**Architecture difference:**
| Aspect | Gas Town / multiclaude | Entire CLI |
|--------|------------------------|-----------|
| **Paradigm** | Coordination (tmux multiplexing) | Governance (approval gates) |
| **Agent spawning** | Manual (tmux/worktrees) | Automatic (handoff protocol) |
| **Parallelization** | Yes (5+ agents) | No (sequential handoffs) |
| **Context preservation** | Manual (shared files) | Automatic (checkpoints) |
| **Audit trail** | None | Built-in (compliance-ready) |
| **Rewind** | No | Yes (restore to checkpoints) |
**Key points**:
- ✅ Full audit trail: prompts → reasoning → outputs (SOC2, HIPAA compliance)
- ✅ Agent handoffs with context (Claude → Gemini → Claude)
- ✅ Approval gates before deploy (human-in-loop)
- ⚠️ No parallel execution (sequential only)
- ⚠️ Very new (launched Feb 10-12, 2026) - limited production feedback
- 🔗 [GitHub repo](https://github.com/entireio/cli) / [entire.io](https://entire.io)
**When to use Entire CLI:**
```bash
# Use Case 1: Compliance-critical workflows
entire capture --agent="claude-code" --require-approval="security-team"
[... Claude makes changes ...]
# Changes blocked until security-team approves via: entire approve
# Use Case 2: Sequential agent handoff (Claude → Gemini)
entire capture --agent="claude-code" --task="architecture"
[... Claude designs system ...]
entire handoff --to="gemini" --task="visual-design"
# Gemini receives full context from Claude's session
# Use Case 3: Debugging with rewind
entire log # See all decision checkpoints
entire rewind --to="before-refactor" # Restore exact state
```
**Complementarity matrix:**
| Use Case | Best Tool |
|----------|-----------|
| **Parallel features** (5+ agents) | Gas Town |
| **Visual monitoring** | agent-chat |
| **macOS parallel with GUI** | Conductor |
| **Sequential handoffs + governance** | **Entire CLI** |
| **Single agent + cost tracking** | Native Claude Code + ccusage |
**Practical workflow (hybrid approach):**
```bash
# 1. Use Gas Town for parallel feature work
gastown spawn --agents=5 --tasks="auth, tests, docs, refactor, deploy"
# 2. Use Entire for sequential refinement with governance
entire capture --agent="claude-code"
[... implement critical feature ...]
entire checkpoint --name="feature-complete"
entire handoff --to="gemini" --task="ui-polish" --require-approval
```
**Status:** Production v1.0+ (macOS/Linux, Windows via WSL)

## Tools & Automation
### 5.1 git-ai
### 5.1 Entire CLI
**Repository:** [diggerhq/git-ai](https://github.com/diggerhq/git-ai)
**Repository:** [github.com/entireio/cli](https://github.com/entireio/cli) / [entire.io](https://entire.io)
**Founded:** February 2026 by Thomas Dohmke (former GitHub CEO) with $60M funding
**What It Does:**
- Creates checkpoint metadata for AI-generated code
- Tracks which lines came from which AI tool
- Survives Git operations (rebase, squash, cherry-pick)
- Calculates AI Code Halflife and other metrics
- Captures AI agent sessions as versioned **Checkpoints** in Git repositories
- Stores prompts, reasoning, tool usage, and file changes with full context
- Creates searchable, auditable record of how code was written
- Enables session replay via rewindable checkpoints
- Supports agent-to-agent handoffs with context preservation
**Installation:**
Check GitHub for latest installation method (platform launched Feb 2026). Typical setup:
```bash
npm install -g git-ai
# Initialize in project
entire init
# Start session capture
entire capture --agent="claude-code"
```
**Basic Workflow:**
**Workflow with Claude Code:**
```bash
# 1. After AI coding session, create checkpoint
git-ai checkpoint --tool="claude-code"
# 1. Start Entire session capture
entire capture --agent="claude-code" --task="auth-refactor"
# 2. Commit normally
git add . && git commit -m "feat: add auth"
# 2. Work normally in Claude Code
claude
You: Refactor authentication to use JWT
[... Claude analyzes, makes changes ...]
# 3. View AI attribution
git-ai blame src/auth.ts
# 3. Create named checkpoint (Entire captures automatically)
entire checkpoint --name="jwt-implemented"
# 4. View session history
entire log
# 5. Rewind to any checkpoint if needed
entire rewind --to="jwt-implemented"
```
**Output Example:**
```
src/auth.ts
1-45 claude-code (2026-01-20) Initial implementation
46-60 human (2026-01-21) Bug fix
61-80 claude-code (2026-01-22) Refactor
Session: auth-refactor
├─ Checkpoint 1: Initial analysis (2026-02-12 14:30)
│ ├─ Prompt: "Analyze current auth middleware"
│ ├─ Reasoning: 3 alternatives considered
│ └─ Files read: 5 (auth/, middleware/)
├─ Checkpoint 2: JWT implementation (2026-02-12 15:15)
│ ├─ Prompt: "Implement JWT with refresh tokens"
│ ├─ Reasoning: Security considerations, token expiry
│ ├─ Files modified: 3
│ └─ Tests added: 8
└─ Checkpoint 3: Integration tests (2026-02-12 16:00)
└─ Approval gate: PENDING (security review required)
```
**Supported AI Tools:**
**Supported AI Agents:**
| Tool | Support Level |
|------|---------------|
| Agent | Support Level |
|-------|---------------|
| Claude Code | Full |
| GitHub Copilot | Full |
| Cursor | Full |
| ChatGPT | Manual checkpoint |
| Codeium | Full |
| Amazon Q | Full |
| Gemini CLI | Full |
| OpenAI Codex | Planned |
| Cursor CLI | Planned |
| Custom agents | Via API |
**Project Metrics:**
**Key Features:**
1. **Checkpoint Architecture**: Git objects associated with commit SHAs, storing full session context
2. **Governance Layer**: Permission system, human approval gates, audit trails for compliance
3. **Agent Handoffs**: Preserve context when switching between agents (Claude → Gemini)
4. **Rewindable Sessions**: Restore to any checkpoint, replay decisions for debugging
5. **Separate Storage**: `entire/checkpoints/v1` branch (doesn't pollute main history)
**Governance Example:**
```bash
git-ai stats
# Require approval before production changes
entire capture --require-approval="security-team"
[... Claude makes changes ...]
entire checkpoint --name="feature-complete"
# Output:
# AI Code Halflife: 3.2 years
# Total AI lines: 12,450 (34%)
# AI churn rate: 2.1x human code
# Top AI tools: claude-code (67%), copilot (28%), cursor (5%)
# Security team reviews and approves
entire review --checkpoint="feature-complete"
entire approve --approver="jane@company.com"
```
**Use Cases:**
| Scenario | Value |
|----------|-------|
| **Compliance/Audit** | Full traceability: prompts → reasoning → code (SOC2, HIPAA) |
| **Multi-Agent Workflows** | Context preserved across agent switches |
| **Debugging** | Rewind to checkpoint, inspect prompts/reasoning |
| **Team Handoffs** | New developer resumes with full AI session history |
**Architecture:**
Entire stores data in `.entire/` directory with separate git branch:
```
project/
├─ .entire/
│ ├─ config.yaml # Configuration
│ ├─ sessions/ # Session metadata
│ └─ checkpoints/ # Named checkpoints
└─ .git/
└─ refs/heads/entire/checkpoints/v1
```
**Limitations:**
- Very new (launched Feb 10-12, 2026) - limited production feedback
- Adds storage overhead (~5-10% of project size)
- macOS/Linux only (Windows via WSL)
- Enterprise-focused (may be complex for solo developers)
**When to use Entire CLI:**
- ✅ Enterprise/compliance requirements (audit trails)
- ✅ Multi-agent workflows (Claude + Gemini handoffs)
- ✅ Session replay for debugging complex AI decisions
- ✅ Governance gates (approval required before actions)
- ⚠️ Personal projects: May be overkill (simple `Co-Authored-By` suffices)

#### Alternative: Entire CLI Session Portability
**Native limitation**: Claude Code's `--resume` is tied to absolute file paths, breaking on folder moves.
**Entire CLI solution**: Checkpoints are **path-agnostic**, enabling true session portability across project locations.
**How it works:**
```bash
# In source project
cd /old/location/myapp
entire capture --agent="claude-code"
[... work in Claude Code ...]
entire checkpoint --name="migration-complete"
# Move project to new location
mv /old/location/myapp /new/location/myapp
# Resume in target (works because Entire stores relative paths)
cd /new/location/myapp
entire resume --checkpoint="migration-complete"
claude --continue # Resumes with full context
```
**Why Entire checkpoints are portable:**
| Aspect | Native `--resume` | Entire CLI |
|--------|-------------------|-----------|
| **Path storage** | Absolute paths in JSONL | Relative paths in checkpoints |
| **Cross-folder** | Breaks (different project encoding) | Works (path-agnostic) |
| **Context preservation** | Prompt history only | Prompts + reasoning + file states |
| **Agent handoffs** | No | Yes (between Claude/Gemini) |
**When to use Entire over manual migration:**
- ✅ Frequent project moves/forks
- ✅ Multi-agent workflows (Claude → Gemini handoffs)
- ✅ Session replay for debugging (rewind to exact state)
- ✅ Governance (approval gates on resume)
**Trade-off**: Adds tool dependency + storage overhead (~5-10% project size).

### 3.4 Audit Trails for Compliance (HIPAA, SOC2, FedRAMP)
**Challenge**: Regulated industries require provenance trails for AI-generated code to meet compliance requirements.
**Solution**: Entire CLI provides built-in audit trails designed for compliance frameworks.
**What gets logged:**
| Event | Captured Data | Retention |
|-------|--------------|-----------|
| **Session start** | Agent, user, timestamp, task description | Permanent |
| **Tool use** | Tool name, parameters, outputs, file changes | Permanent |
| **Reasoning** | AI reasoning steps (when available) | Permanent |
| **Checkpoints** | Named snapshots with full session state | Configurable |
| **Approvals** | Approver identity, timestamp, checkpoint reference | Permanent |
| **Agent handoffs** | Source/target agents, context transferred | Permanent |
**Example compliance workflow:**
```bash
# 1. Initialize with compliance mode
entire init --compliance-mode="hipaa"
# Sets: retention policy, encryption at rest, access controls
# 2. Capture session with required metadata
entire capture \
--agent="claude-code" \
--user="john.doe@company.com" \
--task="patient-data-encryption" \
--require-approval="security-officer"
# 3. Work normally in Claude Code
claude
You: Implement AES-256 encryption for patient records
[... Claude proposes implementation ...]
# 4. Checkpoint requires approval (automatic gate)
entire checkpoint --name="encryption-implemented"
# Creates approval request, blocks further action until approved
# 5. Security officer reviews
entire review --checkpoint="encryption-implemented"
# Shows: prompts, reasoning, diffs, test results, security implications
# 6. Approve or reject
entire approve \
--checkpoint="encryption-implemented" \
--approver="jane.smith@company.com"
# Or: entire reject --reason="needs stronger key derivation"
# 7. Export audit trail for compliance reporting
entire audit-export --format="json" --since="2026-01-01"
# Produces compliance-ready report with full provenance chain
```
**Compliance features:**
| Feature | HIPAA | SOC2 | FedRAMP | Notes |
|---------|-------|------|---------|-------|
| **Audit logs** | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | Prompts → reasoning → outputs |
| **Approval gates** | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | Human-in-loop before sensitive actions |
| **Encryption at rest** | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | AES-256 for session data |
| **Access controls** | ✅ | ✅ | ⚠️ | Role-based (manual config) |
| **Retention policies** | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | Configurable per compliance framework |
| **Provenance tracking** | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | Full chain: user → prompt → AI → code |
**Integration with existing security:**
```bash
# Hook approval gates into CI/CD
# .claude/hooks/post-commit.sh
#!/bin/bash
if [[ "$CLAUDE_SESSION_COMPLIANCE" == "true" ]]; then
entire checkpoint --auto --require-approval="$APPROVAL_ROLE"
fi
```
**When to use Entire CLI for compliance:**
- ✅ SOC2, HIPAA, FedRAMP certification required
- ✅ Need full AI decision provenance (prompts + reasoning + outputs)
- ✅ Multi-agent workflows with handoff tracking
- ✅ Approval gates before production deployments
- ❌ Personal projects (overhead not justified)
- ❌ Non-regulated industries (simple `Co-Authored-By` suffices)
**Status:** Production v1.0+, SOC2 Type II certified (Entire CLI platform)
