Point `HUGINN_CONVENTIONS` at your\n\u003e own `repo-conventions` repo to override the built-in standard. See the [Roadmap](ROADMAP.md) for\n\u003e what's next.\n\n## Install\n\nRequirements: `bash`, `git`, [`gh`](https://cli.github.com) (authenticated), `jq`.\n\n```bash\ngit clone git@github.com:brett-buskirk/huginn.git ~/github-repos/huginn\nln -s ~/github-repos/huginn/huginn ~/.local/bin/huginn   # ~/.local/bin must be on your PATH\nhuginn init                                              # write a config with detected defaults\n```\n\n`huginn` manages the repos in **`$HUGINN_ROOT`** (default `~/github-repos`).\n\n## Commands\n\n```\ncreate\n  new \u003cname\u003e [opts]      scaffold a new repo to the full standard\ninspect\n  status [--fetch]       at-a-glance dashboard (branch · dirty · ahead/behind · flags)\n         [--public|--private]  filter the dashboard by repo visibility\n  prs                    open PRs across the estate\n  branches [--prune]     stray local branches; prune merged ones\n  doctor [repo] [--fix]  audit repos vs your conventions; --fix the safe gaps\noperate\n  sync                   pull every repo to its default branch (ff-only, skips dirty)\n  apply \u003crepo\u003e \u003cscope\u003e   apply the label taxonomy to a repo (web|k8s|infra)\nreference / navigate\n  conventions [topic]    look up the standard (labels · ruleset · suite · doc)\n  open \u003crepo\u003e [page]     open a repo (or prs/settings/rules) on GitHub\n  help                   this menu\n```\n\nRun **`huginn \u003ccommand\u003e help`** for details and options on any command. For a one-page reference to\nevery command, option, and behavior, see the [**cheat sheet**](CHEATSHEET.md).\n\n## How it works\n\n- **Fast and local by default** — git operations only. Network (`gh`) is used only where noted\n  (`doctor`, `prs`, `new`, `apply`).\n- **Conventions, with a fallback** — huginn ships default templates in `templates/`, so `new`,\n  `apply`, and `conventions` work out of the box. Point `HUGINN_CONVENTIONS` at your own\n  `repo-conventions` repo (`labels.json`, `ruleset.json`, `apply-conventions.sh`, `docs-suite.json`)\n  to override them.\n- **Document suite** — `doctor` checks each managed repo carries the required docs (README · LICENSE ·\n  CHANGELOG · ROADMAP · CONTRIBUTING), `new` scaffolds them, and `conventions suite` lists them. The\n  set is defined in `docs-suite.json`.\n- **Exemptions** — repos that aren't code projects (a profile repo, personal/creative repos, or repos\n  managed elsewhere) are skipped everywhere. Listed in `exemptions.json` and merged with the\n  `HUGINN_FAMILY` env var.\n- **Respects `NO_COLOR`** and non-TTY output.\n\n## Configuration\n\nSettings resolve **environment variable → config file → smart default**. Run `huginn init` to write\na config with detected defaults, then edit it. Config file:\n`${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-~/.config}/huginn/config` (override with `HUGINN_CONFIG`).\n\n| Key / env var | Default | Purpose |\n|---|---|---|\n| `HUGINN_OWNER` | your `gh` login | GitHub owner of the estate repos |\n| `HUGINN_ROOT` | `~/github-repos` | directory of repos to manage |\n| `HUGINN_EMAIL` | your git email | commit email for `new` / `doctor --fix` |\n| `HUGINN_NAME` | your git name | committer name |\n| `HUGINN_FAMILY` | _(none)_ | space-separated repos to exclude, merged with `exemptions.json` |\n| `HUGINN_CONVENTIONS` | `repo-conventions` | dir under `HUGINN_ROOT` with `labels.json`/`ruleset.json`/`docs-suite.json`/`exemptions.json` |\n\nCommands that use conventions (`new`, `apply`, `conventions`, `doctor --fix`) fall back to the\nbundled `templates/` when no conventions repo is present, so they work out of the box.\n\n## Backstory\n\nhuginn is the estate-management tool behind the \"GitHub AI Overlord\" — the orchestrating agent in a\npiece I wrote on running AI coding agents with a chain of command:\n[*I Built an Org Chart for My AI Agents*](https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/i-built-org-chart-my-ai-agents-brett-buskirk-h0iic/).\n\n## License\n\n[MIT](LICENSE) © 2026 Brett Buskirk\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbrett-buskirk%2Fhuginn","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fbrett-buskirk%2Fhuginn","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbrett-buskirk%2Fhuginn/lists"}
