About GitAgent
GitAgent — GitAgent is an open standard and framework that allows developers to define, version, and run AI agents natively within Git repositories. It extracts an agent's configuration, logic, tools, and memory into a portable, version-controlled definition, moving them out of proprietary frameworks and into files like agent.yaml and SOUL.md. This approach allows developers to treat agent prompts and logic like code, enabling branching, pull requests for reviews, and full audit trails. It is framework-agnostic, meaning a single definition can be run across various platforms including Claude Code, OpenAI, CrewAI, and OpenClaw. GitAgent also features built-in support for regulatory compliance and deterministic multi-step workflows.

- Implementing human-in-the-loop reviews via Pull Requests for agent skill updates
- Running the same agent definition across multiple LLM providers
- Automating compliant code reviews and audits in regulated industries
- Building multi-agent systems with shared context in a monorepo

Frequently asked questions
What makes GitAgent different from other frameworks?
GitAgent is an open standard rather than just a framework; it focuses on making agent definitions portable and version-controlled via Git rather than locking them into a specific runtime.
Can I run a GitAgent on different LLM providers?
Yes, GitAgent supports multiple adapters and can export definitions to Claude Code, OpenAI, CrewAI, OpenClaw, and more.
Is GitAgent free to use?
Yes, it is an open standard maintained under the MIT License.
