Autonomous AI agents are already committing code to open source repositories. The tooling to accept those contributions gracefully doesn't exist yet.

Machine Commits covers agent-native engineering: how repositories, protocols, and tooling adapt to a world where autonomous agents are contributors, not just tools.

Each issue covers something concrete -- a protocol, a tool, a pattern, or a hard-learned lesson from building with agents at the edge. No hype. No "AI will change everything" takes. Just engineering.

Written by Mike Martoccia, who builds AI-native infrastructure at Booz Allen Hamilton and maintains the OpenClaw Embodiment SDK.
