Projects

1. deadpush
   Always-on guardian for AI coding agents. Catches secrets, agent debris, and dangerous writes before they land in your repo.

   • Problem: Long-running agents leak keys, commit scratchpads, and pollute context while you’re away.
   • Built: Real-time filesystem daemon, quarantine, git hooks, MCP proxy, and hardened / sandbox / CI enforcement tiers.
   • Install: pip install deadpush
   
   

   
   

2. ChatLiberate
   Open-source ChatGPT exporter that works where Settings → Export does not — including Business & Teams accounts.

   • Problem: Business/Teams users can’t use official export; third-party tools drop branches and images.
   • Built: Chrome extension + Node CLI that emit official conversations.json, full conversation trees, and attachments.
   • Install: npx chatliberate -o ./my-backup
   
   

   
   

3. gitpull
   Go CLI for multi-repo Git workflows — clone, sync, status, branch, and local AI helpers without context-switching.

   • Problem: Managing many clones means repetitive pull/status/commit across directories.
   • Built: Parallel clone/sync, workspace-wide status/diff/stash, plus optional Ollama-powered commit/standup/ask.
   • Install: brew tap harris-ahmad/tap && brew install gitpull
