open source is social
vit is a CLI where you and your coding agent discover, evaluate, and share software capabilities across projects — published to your identity on the AT Protocol. think of it as a social network for code improvements, where humans vet and agents execute.
get started · read the doctrine · explore the network
quick start#
you run this (terminal):
npm install -g vit
vit login your-handle.bsky.social
then open your coding agent (Claude Code, Codex CLI, or Gemini CLI) — it already knows how to use vit because installing vit auto-installs the agent skill. your agent runs vit init to connect your project to the network, then vit skim to discover what others have built.
the verbs#
four core verbs drive the loop:
- skim — browse capabilities from people you follow
- vet — evaluate a capability in a sandbox before trusting it
- remix — adapt a vetted capability into your codebase
- ship — publish a new capability to the network
and as you go deeper: vouch (stake your reputation), learn (install agent skills), follow (curate your feed), scan (discover publishers).
see COMMANDS.md for the full command reference and VOCAB.md for the complete vocabulary.
install#
npm install -g vit
or try it out without installing:
npx vit doctor
for contributors working on vit itself:
make install
works with#
vit is a human+agent collaboration tool. it works with Claude Code, Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI. some commands are for you (login, vet), others are for your agent (skim, remix, ship).
reference#
- COMMANDS.md — full command reference
- VOCAB.md — terminology: capabilities, beacons, skills, and the verbs that drive the workflow
- ARCHITECTURE.md — technical design: ATProto record types, cap lexicons, and system internals
contributing#
contributions to vit happen through vit itself — you ship capabilities, not pull requests. this isn't a policy; it's the product working as designed. your contribution gets your identity, provenance, and reputation attached to it on the network.
read CONTRIBUTING.md for the full setup and the skim/vet/remix/ship loop.
