Overview

From the repository's own README, as read at the audited commit. Badges and raw HTML are left out.

[](https://github.com/BrainerVirus/workit/actions/workflows/ci.yml) [](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@brainervirus/workit-cli) [](LICENSE)

Workflow rails for agentic coding. The agent decides what to do; the workit CLI does the how (branch, commit, push, PR, CI, stack, merge) and records proof of what it observed. You stay in the loop for product judgment, not for checking whether the tests really ran or the push really landed.

One shared core ships as native integrations for Claude Code, OpenCode, Cursor, Codex CLI/desktop and Pi, plus a standalone CLI.

  • Observed, not claimed. workit check runs your real test command and

records the exit code, HEAD and tree. An agent saying "tests pass" is a note, not evidence.

  • Author ≠ verifier. Verdicts are recorded per session in a SHA-keyed

ledger; the session that wrote the code can never verify it.

  • Bounded autonomy. Per-workspace grants decide how far an agent may go

(push, PR, merge) without asking. Your host's permission prompts still win.

  • No bookkeeping. Every branch is its own implicit task. Agents never

manage ids.

Quickstart

Requires Node.js 24+. The setup wizard detects your hosts, installs the ones you pick with their native commands, and writes your global config:

npx @brainervirus/workit-cli init
workit doctor          # after a global install (npm i -g @brainervirus/workit-cli)

Or install a single host by hand:

Questions

What is the @brainervirus/workit-core MCP server?

Workflow rails for agentic coding: one shared task and policy core with native OpenCode, Cursor, Codex, Pi, and CLI surfaces.

What tools does @brainervirus/workit-core expose?

7 in total: 5 read-only, 2 that write, and 0 that can delete or overwrite. Every one is listed on this page with its risk.

Is @brainervirus/workit-core safe to connect to an agent?

No — not without reading the findings first. The audit graded it F (54/100) and found 6 critical or high issues in the source. Each one is listed on this page with the file and line it is on.

What credentials does @brainervirus/workit-core need?

It reads GIT_ASKPASS, WORKFLOW_YT_TOKEN_FILE, WORKFLOW_YT_TOKEN_NAME and WORKIT_EVALUATION_AUTHORIZATION from the environment. Give it a token scoped to the least it needs — an agent that can be talked into calling a tool can be talked into calling it with your credentials.

How does @brainervirus/workit-core run?

It speaks stdio, so it runs as a local process your client starts. It is published on npm as v2probe at 0.0.0.

How current is this page?

The grade is for one exact copy of the source (0c1d8baf701e), read on 2026-10-11. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
