Git tracks the diff. h5i tracks the workspace behind it. Everything below is a property of one auditable workspace, it all lives in your Git (refs/h5i/*) and travels with the repo. No SaaS, no lock-in, works offline.
The place an AI agent does its work, a Git-backed worktree where every prompt, decision, command, log, policy, and handoff is recorded in your repo and provable after the fact.
Workspace = worktree + prompt + model + commands + logs + policy + messages + PR evidence.
h5i is not a Git replacement, not a hosted SaaS, not just a sandbox, it's a Git sidecar for auditable agent workspaces.
Agent Workspace ├─ Sandboxed worktree h5i env ├─ Prompt-aware commits h5i capture commit ├─ Compressed tool logs h5i capture run ├─ Agent handoffs h5i msg ├─ Risk/audit signals h5i audit └─ PR evidence brief h5i share pr
| I need to… | Use |
|---|---|
| Run agent code safely, provably confined | h5i env |
| Capture prompt / model / test evidence on a commit | h5i capture commit |
| Keep tool output out of context (smaller logs) | h5i capture run |
| Get another agent to review or hand off | h5i msg |
| Post the evidence as a PR comment | h5i share pr post |
Golden path: env create → agent works → capture commit → msg review → share pr → apply.
Real workflows where the auditable workspace adds evidence that the diff alone can't provide.
