A git-native AI agent framework where the agent's identity, memory, rules, skills, and learning state are all version-controlled files in a git repository, with a reinforcement-learning loop that crystallizes successful task approaches into reusable skills.

Strengths

The learning loop (task tracking → skill evaluation → crystallization → reinforcement with asymmetric confidence adjustment) is a genuinely well-designed, non-trivial implementation that goes well beyond typical agent frameworks. Security considerations are thoughtfully addressed (argv-based git clone to prevent RCE, path traversal guards in hooks, kebab-case validation, quote escaping in commit messages).

Weaknesses

The token estimation (4 chars per token) is a rough heuristic that could lead to inaccurate context window management, and the skill search relies on simple keyword overlap/Jaccard similarity rather than semantic matching, limiting its effectiveness for paraphrased objectives. Test coverage appears thin relative to the breadth of features (8 test files for ~100+ source files), and several critical paths like the MCP manager and plugin loading lack visible test coverage.
