Auditable workspaces for AI agents.

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.

What is an auditable workspace?

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

Sandboxed agent workspace
The hero. Hand an agent a disposable, confined worktree plus a policy that limits what code can read, write, and reach over the network. h5i picks the strongest isolation the host supports (Landlock + seccomp → a network egress allowlist → rootless Podman), records every command and every blocked access, and nothing reaches your branch until you apply. The evidence isn't "we logged it", it's the agent physically could not exfiltrate.
the agent ran inside a boundary it could not escape, and you can prove it.
h5i share pr post · h5i share push
Review-ready PR evidence
Sync the whole auditable workspace to teammates in one command, and post the provable record, prompts, commands, audit signals, prompt quality signal, as a sticky GitHub PR comment, right where reviewers already work.
a reviewer can read the entire record on the PR without trusting your word.

h5i capture commit --model … --agent …
Prompt-aware commits
Every diff carries the exact prompt, model, agent, and test result, captured automatically once hooks are installed.
every change names the prompt, model, and agent that produced it.
h5i recall context
Versioned reasoning
Every observation, decision, and action is saved as a node linked to its commit, so the why behind the code survives session resets and handoffs.
the reasoning behind the diff is recoverable, commit by commit.
h5i hook codex prelude · h5i hook setup
Session handoff for Claude & Codex
Both agents restore the shared workspace context when a session starts and check their work back in when it ends, Claude Code via hooks and MCP, Codex via explicit commands.
work resumes from a recorded state, not from scratch.
h5i msg
Git-backed agent handoffs
The i5h protocol (a.k.a. Agent Radio). Agents ask, review, reply, hand off, and wait on each other without sharing a terminal, every message a durable Git object you can replay later.
every agent-to-agent handoff is a durable, replayable Git object.
h5i capture memory · h5i capture run
Workspace memory
Snapshot agent memory and keep raw tool logs out of context but recoverable, so what the agent ran stays in the repo instead of being lost when the context window rolls over.
what the agent learned and ran stays in the repo, not lost in a context window.
Governancedeterministic audit & compliance, no model in the loop · h5i audit
h5i audit review · h5i audit scan
Deterministic workspace audit
Rank which commits most need review and scan reasoning traces for prompt-injection signals, deterministic regex rules, with no model in the audit path.
risk and injection signals are flagged the same way every time, no LLM judging the record.
h5i share pr post
Prompt Maturity Score
A prompt quality signal: a deterministic 0–100 score for the prompt behind every commit, how well the work was delegated, rolled up across the branch and rendered at the top of the PR evidence. Fully offline (no LLM, no API key); anti-gaming guards stop keyword-stuffing.
how well the agent was instructed is a measurable, offline signal on the PR.

The workspace in action

Real workflows where the auditable workspace adds evidence that the diff alone can't provide.

01
Let one agent ask another for a review
With h5i msg (the i5h protocol), Claude and Codex coordinate over Git, ask, review, hand off, and reply, without sharing a terminal.
claude → codex · refs/h5i/msg
# claude finishes a risky change and asks codex to review
$ h5i msg review --branch auth-refactor \
    --focus src/auth.rs --risk "token cache now crosses requests" \
    codex "Review token refresh before I open the PR."
  claude → codex  REVIEW_REQUEST high  #8f21c9a

# codex sees it between turns, acknowledges, and closes the thread
$ h5i msg ack 1
$ h5i msg done 1 "LGTM — fixed one expiry edge case in 1a2b3c4."
The h5i msg watch view: a live agent channel with typed messages arriving in real time over refs/h5i/msg
Every message is a durable Git object in refs/h5i/msg, shared with h5i share push, replayable a year later. Read how it works →
