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

cargo install dirigent_fermata

Usage

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