gait — Guarded Agent Integration Tool

Quality gate and pilot for AI coding agents

This is an experimental personal project — not production-ready.

I'm building this in my spare time to explore ideas around AI agent guardrails. Expect rough edges, half-finished features, breaking changes, and long stretches with no updates. There are no guarantees of stability, support, or maintenance.

Feel free to look around, steal ideas, or open issues — just know what you're getting into.

What it does

gait is a VS Code extension that tries to add quality gates around AI coding agents — linting, testing, typechecking, build verification, and more.

Gate — runs your pipeline stages (lint, typecheck, test, audit, review) in dependency order with early abort.

Agents — launch Claude or Codex from VS Code with token tracking, pause/resume/kill, and auto-gate after sessions.

Autofix — when a stage fails, an agent gets the error + source + blame context and attempts a fix.

Memory — agents accumulate project context (conventions, past corrections) across sessions.

Workflows — define multi-step agent pipelines in YAML.

...and a bunch of other stuff in various states of completeness.

Quick Start

git clone https://github.com/arodroz/gait.git && cd gait
npm install && npm run compile
# Press F5 in VS Code to launch Extension Host

Then:

Cmd+Shift+P → Gait: Initialize Project
Cmd+Shift+G → Run Quality Gate

Development

npm install              # dependencies
npm run compile          # build extension + webview
npm run lint             # tsc + eslint
npm test                 # tests
npm run watch            # rebuild on change
