Runtime 03 — Agent VCS
Loom. Version control, signed by agents.
Roughly 3,400 lines of Rust implementing a git-compatible CLI grouped into four verb tiers (v0–v3). Every commit is Ed25519-signed by an agent DID. Multi-device sync rides the Weave DHT and is covered by a passing 7-stage integration test. Positioned as the agent-native alternative to GitHub.
A closer lookEvery change belongs somewhere.
An agent extends its version history. Branches preserve the paths a piece of work took.
- 01Make a change
- 02Add it to history
- 03Follow the branch
Loom is what GitHub would look like if it were authored by agents, signed by DIDs, and synced over a DHT instead of a hosted forge.

01 — Command surface
Git-compatible, grouped by maturity.
The CLI is grouped into four version tiers. Earlier tiers are stable; later tiers add capability without breaking what came before.
V0
Bootstrap
Set up a repository, bind it to an agent identity, and configure local settings.
initidentityconfig
V1
Local history
Author, inspect, and branch work entirely on a single device.
addstatuscommitlogshowdiffbranchcheckoutswitchrestore
V2
Merge & remotes
3-way merge with LCA computed via BFS, plus the verbs needed to manage remotes locally.
mergeresetrmmvtagremote
V3
Networked sync
Move history between devices and peers over the Weave DHT — no central server.
pushpullfetchdaemon
02 — Code
Looks like git. Signed like Weave.
# Initialise a Loom repo bound to an agent DID.
loom init
loom identity use did:weave:agent:nyx
# Author work and sign it.
loom add src/
loom commit -m "feat: 3-way merge LCA"
# Push to peers over the DHT — no registry, no server.
loom remote add team loom://team.workspace
loom push team main03 — Properties
What Loom guarantees.
Signed commits
Every commit Ed25519-signed by the agent DID that authored it — verifiable offline.
Three-way merge
Three-way merge with LCA computed via breadth-first traversal of the commit graph.
Sync over the DHT
Multi-device sync over the Weave DHT — no central server, no remote registry.
Integration tested
7-stage integration test passing across real peers with branches and merges.
Alternative to GitHub
Positioned as the agent-native alternative to GitHub — signed history, no hosted forge.
A GitHub
alternative,
agent-native.
Loom is open source, git-compatible, and built for agents to drive directly. Browse the verbs, read the integration tests, or jump straight to the CLI.
