# dirigent_fermata
`𝄐 fermata` — a fast, harness-agnostic guard that blocks AI coding agents from reading, writing, or executing things they shouldn't.
Reads `.botignore` (gitignore syntax) and an optional `botignore.toml` for advanced rules. Designed to be called from agent hooks, used as an MCP server (future), or consumed as a library.
## Status
v0.1 — first releasable slice:
- Library: `Op`, `Decision`, `Policy::check`, `Policy::check_command`, project-root walk-up, `.botignore` walker (via `ignore`), `botignore.toml` parsing, path identification heuristics.
- CLI: `fermata check <path>...`, `fermata hook --harness <name>`.
- Harness: Claude Code (PreToolUse) only.
Out of scope for v0.1: Codex, Gemini, MCP server, audit log, filesystem watcher.
## Install
From source (this monorepo):
```bash
cargo install --path crates/dirigent_fermata --features cli
```
This installs the `fermata` binary into `~/.cargo/bin/`.
## Quick start
```bash
# As a CLI
fermata check --op read /path/to/.env
echo $? # 1 if blocked, 0 if allowed
# As a Claude Code hook
fermata hook --harness claude < hook_payload.json
```
## Configuration
`.botignore` (gitignore syntax, applies to read + write):
```
.env
.env.*
secrets/**
```
`botignore.toml` (per-op rules):
```toml
[read]
patterns = [".env*", "secrets/**"]
[write]
patterns = ["vendor/**", "*.lock"]
[bash]
deny = ["rm -rf /", "git push --force*"]
ask = ["rm:*", "mv:*"]
allow_prefixes = ["make test", "git checkout:*"]
```
