Vouch

Vouch establishes a durable, review-gated knowledge base specifically designed for development agents. Key features include: * Review-gated content approval * Plain file storage (YAML/Markdown) * Committed audit trail * Multiple interaction surfaces (MCP, CLI, JSONL) * Contextual search with citations * Session-based knowledge recall This system ensures that all decisions and claims made by your coding agent are explicitly approved before becoming part of the repository's memory. It operates on a principle where content must be signed off by a different identity, preventing self-approval and enhancing claim reliability. All information—from claims to pages—resides as plain files within your repository's `.vouch/` directory, making them easily diffable, searchable, and reviewable just like source code. An immutable audit log records every action, including proposals, approvals, rejections, and supersessions, providing a complete history that travels with your codebase. Vouch integrates seamlessly with various development tools and environments, including Claude, Code Cursor, Windsurf, Zed, and any MCP host. It offers a standardized lifecycle for all interactions, whether via the Multi-Party Computation (MCP) for agents, a command-line interface for human interaction, or JSONL for data pipelines. A powerful SQLite FTS5 search (with optional embeddings) helps developers find relevant information, with every search result linked back to its original approved source. Furthermore, Vouch ensures that critical decisions and fixes are recalled at the start of each session, preventing repeated work and maintaining continuity across development cycles. Ideal for engineering teams, developers, and blockchain projects like Gittensor (SN74) that require a robust, verifiable decision-memory system. It helps maintain a clear, cited record of why specific scoring rules, allow-lists, and emission-split decisions were made, ensuring transparency and accountability in project evolution.
