Not upstream-bound — this fork uses a worktree-per-PR workflow that the original repo doesn't need. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Adds `agent-locks status/list/check/claim/update/finish/serve`, thin wrappers around the exact same lock/store.ts functions the 5 MCP tools already call — a human at a terminal, or any agent harness that shells out rather than speaking MCP, gets the same coordination guarantees. index.js now dispatches on argv: no arguments (or the explicit "serve" alias) starts the MCP stdio server exactly as before, so every existing MCP client config keeps working unchanged. Any other first argument runs the CLI and exits with a real code instead of hanging on stdin. No new dependency added — argument parsing is hand-rolled to match the project's existing minimal footprint (only @modelcontextprotocol/sdk, gray-matter, minimatch, zod). 11 new tests in src/__tests__/cli.test.ts: the full claim -> status -> list -> check -> update -> finish lifecycle against a real temp git repo, every documented error path (missing required flags, both --done and --undone passed, bad --status value, update on a nonexistent lock id, update with a non-matching task_text, running outside a git repo), and one test that spawns the actual compiled dist/index.js as a real subprocess with a CLI subcommand to prove the argv-dispatch branch works end-to-end (complementing e2e.test.ts, which already proves the zero-argument branch starts the MCP server). typecheck clean. README gains a "CLI usage" section documenting all 7 subcommands. Pre-existing note: `pnpm test` on macOS will show 1 unrelated failure in git.test.ts (a symlink-canonicalization mismatch in resolveLocksRoot, not touched by this change) — already has an open fix: PR #1.
