There was a small surge in popularity in distributed git issue trackers a bit over a decade ago, and all of them had some sort of problem baked in to the design that made them not very good.
Two weeks ago I had listed out the problems I could remember offhand: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47956979
It sounds like there's intentionally no attempt to handle the last one (that this is by devs for devs), and points 3 and 4 might be addressed somehow since it mentions syncing automatically. Does it store data separate from git to avoid the first two?

Or maybe just publish a skill for the agent to use your CLI? The agent alredy uses CLI commands to interact with git itself

I really like the idea of a distributed issue tracker. I'd encourage you to look at git-bug if you haven't already done so for some prior art / inspiration / hard learned lessons.

It’s very slick, but I would be interested to know how separable the UI and the data layer are. I love vim but asking a collaborative group to all use a TUI is difficult. A local web server would be a nice alternative UI

I think this is a cool project. I see a lot of use cases for this, for cases where it is preferable to keep issues local to the repo, distributed via git only, and not the least for all kinds of personal task management. Avoiding the context switching to a web based tool is a nice plus.
