GitAgent by Lyzr

In plain words

GitAgent is an open standard that defines AI agents as files in a Git repository, enabling portable agent definitions across multiple frameworks including Claude Code, OpenAI Agents SDK, CrewAI, and LangChain. It uses three core files—agent.yaml for configuration, SOUL.md for instructions, and SKILL.md for capabilities—allowing developers to version control agent behavior, branch for environment promotion, implement human review via pull requests, and audit changes through Git history. It's designed for developers and teams who want to avoid framework lock-in and reuse agent definitions across different AI platforms.

From the sources

Your AI agent's soul belongs in Git, not locked inside a framework. GitAgent is an open standard that extracts your agent's config, logic, tools, and memory into a portable, version-controlled definition. Define once. Run anywhere. Claude, OpenAI, CrewAI, OpenClaw, you name it. Same repo, any runtime. Roll back prompts like code. Branch, review, reproduce. #OwnYourAgent

Define, version, and run AI agents natively in git. GitAgent is the open AI agent standard created by Shreyas Kapale at Lyzr Research Labs — framework-agnostic, works with Claude, OpenAI, CrewAI, Lyzr, and more.

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hey HN, We built GitAgent — a git-native, framework-agnostic open standard for defining AI agents. The idea is simple: your repo IS the agent. npx @open-gitagent/gitagent@latest run -r https://github.com/shreyas-lyzr/architect -a claude That one command clones the repo, reads agent.yaml +…

  Git for AI AgentsMay 2026 · github.com · ▲129

  hi guys. been working on something i think is fundamentally missing in today's workflow with ai agents. vcs. i find myself struggling with questions that agents can't answer like "why did you do it?", "when did u delete this folder? why?", etc. or trying to /rewind (after a /compact...) or basically `bisect` to find when and why something was done by the agent in the current / previous session. just like git did for code, i think we are the same core capabilities with ai agents so... i developed an open source solution for that (currently supporting claude code) would love to…

  Hi HN, I'm the author of git-lrc, would appreciate some feedback from the community Last year my team started using AI coding tools more heavily, and we found ourselves generating tons of code, but spending less time looking at the stuff that's been generated. We felt like we were losing a bit of grip/understanding of what we were building. Regressions occasionally slipped through. Sometimes changes made it all the way to production only to be reverted later. We tried several AI code review tools, but most operate at PR time. That felt too late. I wanted review to happen while the…

  A Karpathy-style LLM wiki your agents maintain (Markdown and Git)Apr 2026 · github.com · ▲260

  I shipped a wiki layer for AI agents that uses markdown + git as the source of truth, with a bleve (BM25) + SQLite index on top. No vector or graph db yet. It runs locally in ~/.wuphf/wiki/ and you can git clone it out if you want to take your knowledge with you. The shape is the one Karpathy has been circling for a while: an LLM-native knowledge substrate that agents both read from and write into, so context compounds across sessions rather than getting re-pasted every morning. Most implementations of that idea land on Postgres, pgvector, Neo4j, Kafka, and a dashboard. I…
