Gitignore Manager

Goal

Analyze repository state and create or update .gitignore with clear, safe patterns.

Success means generated files, secrets, caches, and local runtime state are ignored while source files, templates, docs, tests, and intentional config remain trackable.

Stop when the user has either an audit report or a scoped .gitignore change with a diff and verification notes.

Modes

Infer mode from the user prompt:

• Audit/report only: when the prompt says check, audit, review, inspect, or asks a question.
• Edit mode: when the prompt says update, add, fix, create, ignore, or otherwise asks for a file change.
• If the prompt is empty or ambiguous, report findings first and ask before editing.
