# fermata

`𝄐` — a fast, harness-agnostic policy gate for AI coding agents.

Reads `.botignore` files (gitignore syntax) and an optional `botignore.toml`
to decide whether an agent's read / write / bash operation should proceed.
Designed to be called from agent hooks (Claude Code first; Codex and Gemini
planned).

## Install

```bash
cargo install dirigent_fermata
```

## Usage

```bash
fermata check --op read ./.env       # exit 1 if blocked
fermata hook --harness claude < req.json
```
