ait-native

AIT turns an ordinary coding request into an isolated, sprint-bound repository change with validation evidence and a recoverable land path. It is for individual developers and maintainers who use coding agents and want the work to remain reviewable without inventing a workflow for every repository.

AIT is repository-language-neutral. It does not identify or change behavior for Python, Node.js, Rust, Java, or any other project type.

Install and initialize

python -m pip install ait-native==1.1.3
ait init

Run ait init once inside the repository your coding agent will change. For other verified installation routes, use the official quickstart.

What initialization provides

ait init creates repository-local authority, defaults to solo_local with sprint mode on, creates the sprint directory, and writes the effective workflow router to AGENTS.md. Local work uses bound Task worktrees, Snapshots, and atomic Task finish. The server remains off.

Package boundary

This wheel installs the language-neutral ait CLI, the inactive-by-default ait-server command, and the admitted ait-python binding. The server starts only when explicitly requested.

Local and reviewed closeout

The default local flow finishes dirty work with ait task finish <task-id> --message "<message>"; clean work omits --message. For a reviewed remote flow, the author prepares the selected Patchset and CI evidence with ait workflow ready <task-id> --apply; a reviewer then runs ait workflow finish <task-id> --apply for Review, Policy, and atomic closeout.

Upgrading from 0.x

There is no ait install command in 1.x. Install or upgrade ait-native through your selected package manager, verify it with ait --version, then run ait init only when creating a new 1.0 repository authority. Keep the existing Git repository and history, but do not treat a release candidate as proof that legacy 0.x .ait data can be migrated in place. Preserve the old authority for recovery and use a clean clone or a new repository authority unless the selected release notes explicitly admit that migration. Read the public transition contract.
