Ripple: open-source local-first authorization for AI coding agents

Ripple is an open-source, local-first authorization layer that restricts AI coding agents to only modify files they are explicitly permitted to change. It solves the problem of AI agents making unauthorized or unintended modifications across a codebase, giving developers control and trust in agentic coding workflows.

Ripple is built as a local-first authorization system that integrates with AI coding agents. It allows developers to define strict permissions for which files or directories an agent can read, write, or execute. The tool is designed to prevent agents from 'going rogue' and modifying unrelated code (e.g., auth, dependencies) when asked to perform a specific task. It is open-source and runs locally, ensuring no data leaves the developer's machine. The project was born from the creators' own experience building with AI coding agents and hitting trust issues. No specific tech stack or traction signals are mentioned.

Attestor: open-source zero-trust boundary for autonomous AI agents

Attestor is an open-source execution boundary that enforces zero-trust security for autonomous AI agents. It uses LLMs to define and enforce policies that restrict agent actions, preventing unauthorized access or data leaks. This solves the problem of safely deploying autonomous agents in production environments.

Cinchor: accountability layer for AI agents with bound-before and prove-after

Cinchor is a primitive that enforces policy on AI agents before they act and provides cryptographic proof of actions afterward. It allows teams to give agents real capabilities (e.g., moving money, shipping changes) while maintaining auditability and preventing out-of-policy actions. The system mints scoped capabilities (spend cap, allowlist, expiry) and checks every action against them, refusing violations before execution; actions are hashed, signed, and anchored append-only for later verification.

Enola: engineering intelligence layer for AI coding agents

Enola is an open-source engineering intelligence layer that helps AI coding agents understand existing codebases. It answers questions about change impact, dependency reachability, safe module deletion, refactoring priorities, and architecture drift. The tool uses LLMs to analyze code context and provide insights that reduce mistakes from both humans and AI agents.

Human approval inbox for AI agents

Impri is a human-in-the-loop approval system for AI agents. It provides a shared inbox where agents submit drafts (emails, posts, replies) and a human must approve or reject before the action is taken. It solves the problem of developers repeatedly building the same approval UI and cron infrastructure for agentic workflows.
