When your agent uses it
Git Context Controller (GCC) v2 — Lean agent memory backed by real git. Stores hash + intent + optional decision notes instead of verbose markdown. Auto-bridges to aiyoucli vector memory when available. Dual mode: git-backed (lean index.yaml) or standalone (markdown fallback). Triggers on /gcc commands or natural language like 'commit this progress', 'branch to try an alternative', 'merge results', 'recover context'.

# Git Context Controller (GCC) v2
## Overview
GCC transforms agent memory from verbose markdown into a lean, git-backed index. Instead of duplicating what git already knows, GCC stores only **hash + intent + optional decision notes** (~50 tokens vs ~500 per entry). Full context is reconstructed on demand via `git show`.
Two modes:
- **git mode**: Real commits, lean `index.yaml`, worktree isolation, aiyoucli bridge
- **standalone mode**: Markdown fallback for projects without git (v1 compatible)
## Initialization
On first use, check if `.GCC/` exists. If not, run the init script:
