v3.24.1by sipyourdrink-ltd · author: chernistry
The open-source governance layer for AI agents. Spawn parallel agents in per-task git worktrees, verify their work, and merge results; no model in the coordination loop, so replaying a plan reproduces its task graph byte-identically.

Bernstein is the open-source governance layer for AI agents. It runs on policy as code: you write the policy, who may do what, what needs approval, what must be recorded, and Bernstein enforces it and produces the verifiable record. A deterministic scheduler, no model in the coordination loop, runs agents in parallel, gates what they produce, and records every step, so a run can be verified after the fact, offline, from the artifacts alone.

- Run a verified multi-agent goal with Bernstein. Use when a task is too large for a single agent session: Bernstein decomposes the goal into tasks, spawns CLI coding agents in parallel git worktrees, verifies their output, and merges results. Also use to check run status, costs, and to verify a fini…
