AI agent governance, security tooling, and mechanical enforcement.

$ cat why.md
Behavioral rules for AI agents are text in the context window. Under pressure — deep in a fix loop, resolving conflicting instructions, running low on context — the model rationalizes around them. This isn’t a hypothetical failure mode. It’s documented.

I built a tool from this.

rigscore scores your AI dev config. Thirteen checks. A number out of 100 and a CI-ready exit code. Runs locally with no account.

  CRITICAL (1)
  [X] MCP server "filesystem" has broad filesystem access: /
      -> Scope filesystem access to your project directory only.
MCP supply chain

Pins your MCP server configs and flags when they change. Catches typosquats, version drift, and config rug-pulls.

Coherence

Reads your governance file and checks whether the rest of your config backs up the claims it makes.

Local only

No account, no network. --online is opt-in when you want a registry lookup.
