# Dependency graph
requires:
  - phase: 03-command-dispatch
    provides: cmd_*.py handler pattern, run_sl() function
provides:
  - git show -> sl show handler
  - git blame -> sl annotate handler
  - git rm -> sl remove handler (with -r flag filtering)
  - git mv -> sl rename handler
  - git clone -> sl clone handler
  - git grep -> sl grep handler
  - gitsl.py dispatch routing for 6 new commands
affects: [16-flag-translation, future-command-phases]

# Tech tracking
tech-stack:
  added: []
  patterns:
    - "Command name mapping pattern (blame->annotate, rm->remove, mv->rename)"
    - "Flag filtering pattern (rm -r stripped for sl remove)"

key-files:
  created:
    - cmd_show.py
    - cmd_blame.py
    - cmd_rm.py
    - cmd_mv.py
    - cmd_clone.py
    - cmd_grep.py
  modified:
    - gitsl.py

key-decisions:
  - "Use canonical sl command names (annotate, remove, rename) instead of aliases"
  - "Filter git rm -r flag since sl remove is recursive by default"
  - "Pass through common flags directly without translation"

patterns-established:
  - "Pattern 1: Command name mapping - git blame -> sl annotate via run_sl(['annotate'] + args)"
  - "Pattern 2: Flag filtering - strip git-specific flags that have different semantics in sl"

# Phase 15 Plan 01: Direct Pass-through Commands Summary

**6 command handlers for show, blame, rm, mv, clone, grep with dispatch routing in gitsl.py**

## Performance

- **Duration:** 1min 17s
- **Started:** 2026-01-19T23:03:33Z
- **Completed:** 2026-01-19T23:04:50Z
- **Tasks:** 2
- **Files modified:** 7

## Accomplishments
- Created 6 new command handler files following established cmd_*.py pattern
- Implemented command name mapping for blame->annotate, rm->remove, mv->rename
- Added flag filtering for git rm -r (sl remove is recursive by default)
- Updated gitsl.py with imports and dispatch for all 6 commands
- Verified all commands route correctly via GITSL_DEBUG=1

## Task Commits

Each task was committed atomically:

1. **Task 1: Create 6 command handler files** - `01fe8fb` (feat)
2. **Task 2: Update gitsl.py dispatch routing** - `1f70cdf` (feat)

## Files Created/Modified
- `cmd_show.py` - Handles git show -> sl show (direct passthrough)
- `cmd_blame.py` - Handles git blame -> sl annotate (command name mapping)
- `cmd_rm.py` - Handles git rm -> sl remove (filters -r flag)
- `cmd_mv.py` - Handles git mv -> sl rename (command name mapping)
- `cmd_clone.py` - Handles git clone -> sl clone (direct passthrough)
- `cmd_grep.py` - Handles git grep -> sl grep (direct passthrough)
- `gitsl.py` - Added imports and dispatch for 6 new commands

## Decisions Made
- **Use canonical sl command names:** Used `annotate`, `remove`, `rename` instead of aliases for code clarity
- **Filter -r flag for rm:** sl remove handles directories recursively by default, so git's -r flag is unnecessary and stripped
- **Simple passthrough for common flags:** Flags like -w, -b, -n, -i, -l pass through directly as they work the same in both tools

## Deviations from Plan

None - plan executed exactly as written.

## Issues Encountered

None.

## User Setup Required

None - no external service configuration required.

## Next Phase Readiness
- 6 new commands fully functional and routed
- Ready for Phase 16 (Flag Translation Commands) which handles more complex flag mappings
- Known limitation documented: git grep -v vs sl grep -V inversion not addressed (documented, deferred)
