Alpha software. Dirigent is in early active development and not fully battle-tested. Most crates are experimental — APIs will change without notice. There is nothing to install from this repository yet. The standalone tools listed below have their own repositories and maturity levels.

Standalone Tools

These tools are developed in this monorepo but distributed as independent repositories. Install them from their own repos:

Tool	Repository	Maturity	Description
fermata	git.g4b.org/dirigence/fermata	production (core), beta (toml config)	Policy gate for AI coding agents — `.botignore` enforcement
anth	git.g4b.org/dirigence/dirigent_anth	production (library), beta (CLIs)	Tools for working with Claude Code session data
dirigate	git.g4b.org/dirigence/dirigate	beta (bridge/mock), concept (connect/ingest)	ACP bridge connecting stdio agents to Dirigent

Architecture

Layers top-to-bottom:

Consumers (shadow) — server assembly, web app, integrations — not in this repo
Standalone Tools — installable from their own repositories; depend on these crates
Orchestration — connector runtime, ACP server
Foundation — protocol types, tool sandbox, configuration, auth

Core Runtime

dirigent_core is the central crate. It manages long-lived connections to external agent systems through a Connector abstraction — each connector wraps a bidirectional communication channel to an agent (Claude Code over stdio, OpenCode.ai over HTTP+SSE, or an incoming ACP connection).

Key concepts:

CoreRuntime is a stateless orchestrator. It owns the connector registry, the event bus, and lifecycle hooks — but never caches session state. The external agent is always authoritative.
Connectors implement a common trait (command_tx() to send commands, subscribe() to receive events) and run as independent background tasks. Four implementations ship today: ACP (stdio/HTTP JSON-RPC), Gateway (local echo + session transfer), OpenCode (REST+SSE), and AcpAcceptor (incoming connections).
SharingBus is the event backbone. Every connector event is published once and fan-out to filtered subscribers — archivist, web UI, stream integrations — without the bus knowing about any of them.
Lifecycle Hooks let the server assembly inject services (inspector, process manager, archivist) at connector creation time. Core defines abstract traits (ConnectorInspector, ProcessGroupManager) and never depends on their implementations directly.

Crates

Crate	Maturity	Description
`dirigent_core`	beta	Multi-connector orchestration runtime
`dirigent_protocol`	beta	ACP protocol types — messages, events, and RPC definitions
`dirigent_acp_api`	beta	ACP server for incoming agent connections
`dirigent_config`	beta	Configuration management
`dirigent_auth`	concept	User authorization model
`dirigent_tools`	concept	Tool sandbox and execution abstractions
`opencode_client`	beta	OpenCode.ai HTTP client

Library Usage

Add a crate to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
dirigent_protocol = { git = "https://git.g4b.org/dirigence/dirigent", path = "crates/dirigent_protocol" }
dirigent_core     = { git = "https://git.g4b.org/dirigence/dirigent", path = "crates/dirigent_core" }

Replace the crate name and path with the one you need. All crates follow the same pattern.

Expect breakage. These are internal library crates under active development. Pin to a specific commit if you depend on stability.
