Substr8 Platform CLI - Verifiable AI Infrastructure

Substr8 CLI

Verifiable AI Infrastructure — The command-line interface for the Substr8 platform.

Substr8 provides provable, auditable, and deterministic infrastructure for AI agents. This CLI bundles our core tools:

• GAM — Git-Native Agent Memory (cryptographically verifiable memory)
• FDAA — File-Driven Agent Architecture (coming soon)
• ACC — Agent Capability Control (coming soon)

Installation

pip install substr8

Optional Dependencies

# With cryptographic signing (agent DIDs, GPG integration)
pip install substr8[crypto]

# With semantic search (embeddings-based recall)
pip install substr8[retrieval]

# Everything
pip install substr8[full]

Quick Start

# Initialize GAM in your workspace
cd your-project
substr8 gam init

# Store a memory
substr8 gam remember "Raza exercises 4-5x per week" --tag health

# Search memories (semantic search)
substr8 gam recall "fitness routine"

# Verify provenance
substr8 gam verify mem_1234567890_abcd

# Show status
substr8 gam status

GAM — Git-Native Agent Memory

GAM uses git's 20-year-old version control primitives to provide:

Feature	How
Cryptographic provenance	Every memory has a commit SHA
Tamper-evident history	Merkle tree — change anything, hash breaks
Human-auditable	Plain Markdown files, git blame works
Temporal awareness	Decay scoring, point-in-time queries
W^X permissions	Path-based access control with HITL gates

Commands

# Core operations
substr8 gam init              # Initialize repository
substr8 gam remember <text>   # Store a memory
substr8 gam recall <query>    # Search memories
substr8 gam verify <id>       # Verify provenance
substr8 gam forget <id>       # Delete a memory
substr8 gam status            # Show repository status

# Identity management
substr8 gam identity create-agent <name>  # Create agent DID
substr8 gam identity list                 # List identities

# Permissions (W^X)
substr8 gam permissions list    # Show all path policies
substr8 gam permissions check   # Check a specific path
substr8 gam permissions hitl    # Show human-required paths

# Maintenance
substr8 gam import <path>     # Import existing .md files
substr8 gam reindex           # Rebuild indexes

Memory File Format

Memories are stored as Markdown with YAML frontmatter:

---
gam_version: 1
id: mem_2026021908001234
created: 2026-02-19T08:00:00Z
source: conversation
confidence: high
tags: [health, fitness]

# Raza's Fitness Goals

Raza exercises 4-5x/week and has quit alcohol.

W^X Permissions

Path	Permission	Signature Required
SOUL.md	HUMAN_SIGN	Human GPG
AGENTS.md	HUMAN_SIGN	Human GPG
MEMORY.md	AGENT_SIGN	Agent DID
memory/daily/*	OPEN	None
memory/archive/*	READONLY	N/A
