Getting Started

1. Install the current release candidate#

Choose one verified RC.8 route from the Quickstart. The installed native command must report the expected product version before the repository is initialized.

ait --version

PyPI, npm, Homebrew, apt, and GitHub assets have different package envelopes, but they lead to the same repository workflow. The server remains inactive until it is explicitly configured and started.

2. Initialize one repository#

Run initialization from the repository the coding agent will change.

cd <your-repository>
ait init

AIT creates repository authority and creates or refreshes the effective workflow block in AGENTS.md. It does not select a programming language, framework, build command, or test command.

3. Make a normal request#

Describe the result and constraints instead of translating the work into AIT bookkeeping.

Add an accessible password-visibility control.
Preserve the login API and keyboard behavior, and add the relevant tests.

The coding agent follows the repository's generated instructions. For governed work, that includes the sprint item, Task, bound workspace, repository checks, Snapshot, and configured closeout.

4. Inspect the result#

Use read-only commands when you need direct evidence.

ait status --json
ait diff --stat
ait queue summary

An empty workspace after successful closeout is expected. The completed Task and Snapshot retain the recorded result.
