Description
AI agents are getting insanely capable. The real problem now isn’t generating code — it’s controlling what agents can do, proving what they changed, and making each run smarter than the last. Rigour is the open-source control plane for AI coding agents: context, policy, deterministic verification, MCP governance, signed evidence, Fix Packets, memory, and learning. Let agents move fast. Keep engineering under control.

Could you build this?
Partial A basic CLI tool checking regexes and file paths is vibe-codeable, but deep AST analysis across multiple languages, zero-width steganography detection, and hooking real-time IDE/CLI workflows require systems engineering.
What it would actually take: A robust CLI governance engine requires tree-sitter or multi-language AST parsers to inspect file mutations across 6+ programming languages, coupled with robust heuristic engines for entropy calculation, Unicode normalization, and MCP protocol servers. The hard part is building low-latency, tamper-resistant system interception hooks across various developer agents (Cursor, Copilot, CLI processes) without causing performance degradation or false-positive breakage in active developer workflows.
