Git for encrypted vaults, for humans and AI agents

A vault is a unit of work:
data, app, history and sources, shipped as one string

Version it like git. Hand it over with a single read key, no account, no hosting, no install for the reader. And the server that stores it cannot read it.

What people actually ship

Not categories, things. Each one is a real vault you can open, and each is hard to make any other way, for a reason that has little to do with encryption.

Hand over a report, Penetration Test Report, Findings, evidence and a retest script per finding travel as one unit. The client opens it with one string and can re-run the tests themselves., vault o4lrwx02 · open it →

Nine of these vaults are the same graph, at different altitudes

A Fractal Semantic Graph is one where every node opens into a graph with its own ontology. A regulation, then its articles, then the words they define: each world using vocabulary the one above never agreed to. What stays constant is the grammar, never the schema, and that is what lets everything connect to everything without anyone being forced to conform. For years we called it graphs of graphs of graphs.

One human, a team of agents

This site, and every vault on it, is built by one person working with several AI agents, and the agents build for each other. The state that makes that possible is a vault: versioned, shareable, and readable by whoever holds the key.

159site releases, each verified live before it was called done
32vaults published with a deliberately public read key
27sibling sites on *.sgit.ai, one question each
10cross-team briefs filed or received, in the open
1A build brief was published here on a Saturday. Another agent read it and shipped a vault from it the same day.
2The team that owns the API reviewed that vault against the brief, found the brief wrong in two places, and the correction now sits above the mistake.
3One agent forked another agent's vault, kept every byte, added a layer, and the original's tests still pass inside the fork.
The record is the site itself: the briefs, the case studies, every release. And the diagnosis that produced this homepage is an article, with the before pictures.

Under the hood, it is git

Same muscle memory. Files are encrypted before they leave your machine; the server stores ciphertext and hashes, nothing else.

$ sgit create my-vault
Vault created and registered
Initial commit pushed

  Vault key: <24-char-passphrase>:<vault-id>

Keep this safe. It is the address, the auth, and the
encryption key in one string. Without it, nobody, including
the server, can read this vault.
$ vim notes/positioning.md
$ sgit status
  On clone branch branch-clone-3f9c → named branch main
  modified:  notes/positioning.md
  added:    drafts/hero-copy.md

$ sgit commit -m "first draft of hero copy"
Committed 2 files (no staging area, commit snapshots the folder)
$ sgit history log --oneline
c4e81a first draft of hero copy
b2d70f initial commit

$ sgit history diff
--- a/notes/positioning.md
+++ b/notes/positioning.md
- sgit is a CLI for encrypted sync
+ sgit is git for encrypted vaults
$ sgit push
Pushed 2 objects (delta push, only changed, only ciphertext)

# on another machine (or another agent)
$ sgit clone <vault-key>
Cloned and decrypted 12 files

$ sgit pull
Up to date
# one call: encrypt, commit, push, machine-readable result
# no working-directory scan, no full clone needed
$ sgit write notes/finding.md --file result.md \
    --message "agent A: analysis" --push --json
{
  "status": "pushed",
  "path": "notes/finding.md",
  "blob_id": "obj-cas-imm-9c2e41ab77d0"
}

The vault key is the address, the auth, and the encryption key, one high-entropy string. Keep it safe.

Git-like version controlcommit, branch, merge, diff, log, stash, revert your encrypted files
Client-side encryptionAES-256-GCM before upload; keys derived from your vault key, never sent to the server
Real three-way mergeconflict files plus a base/ours/theirs resolve --show view
The two-branch modela private clone branch per machine or agent; shared named branches for collaboration
Apps live inside the dataa vault can carry its own sandboxed app, with the permissions it asks for declared in a file

What the server sees

Your machine

  • filenames & folder structure
  • file contents
  • commit messages
  • branch names
  • the vault key & derived keys

The server

  • obj-cas-imm-3f9c41ab77d0
  • ref-pid-muw-8e02cc194b3a
  • ciphertext blobs (AES-256-GCM)
  • object sizes · timestamps
  • the vault id

That's the whole list, and we publish the threat model, including what the server can see (sizes, timing, vault ID). Read the security model →

Built for agents

Agents need shared state. Shared state needs versioning, and privacy. sgit is the encrypted, versioned workspace for humans and AI agents.

Persistent memory

A vault is just a folder

An agent clones it, reads and writes files normally, commits, pushes. The next session pulls and continues. State survives the context window.

Multi-agent, human-merged

A branch per agent

Each agent gets its own private clone branch; work meets on named branches; a human reviews the merge, in the terminal or in the SG/Vault browser.

Agent-grade plumbing

Machine-readable everything

sgit write for surgical single-call commits, --json on every read path, cat --id with zero network calls, sparse clones for fast cold starts. What that costs, measured.

In production, and honest about it

sgit is in beta, powering production workflows daily. No superlatives, just the evidence, and a page that tells you when not to use it.

Nineteen sites, one question each

Most of the thinking behind sgit no longer lives on this site. It moved out to *.sgit.ai: a family of focused sites, each taking one question further than a section here could, each with its own version history and repository. This site stayed about sgit.

2026-09-22 The future of news is the story vault, not the paywall The news industry runs on two commercial models, advertising and subscriptions, and both are bad for the reader. One sells the reader to somebody else. The other charges rent on something most people have stopped using. Both are now being dismantled from outside, by a search layer that has stopped sending traffic and by consumer law that arrives in January 2027. This article is about what to build instead, in practical terms. The objective is a commercial model that rewards investigative journalism, so that the expensive, evidenced kind of reporting drives usage, usage drives revenue that depends on neither search nor renewals, and that revenue funds more of the same. The mechanism is to stop selling the article and start selling what the article was made from. The story is a graph, a fractal semantic graph in which meaning comes from connectivity and every claim walks down to hashed evidence, so that trust comes through provenance and provenance comes via evidence. The article is one projection of it. From that one graph a newsroom can sell five things, on demand and in pence, to readers, to firms and to agents, and every payment walks back to the people who made the facts. It is built, in parts, on things we have already published. Read it → 2026-09-21 The SaaS apocalypse will be decided by inertia, not by AI The SaaS apocalypse has not happened yet, and the market has already declared it cancelled once. It remains a very strong possibility, argued here with data rather than vibes. Most users were never happy, most features were never used, and most licences sit idle, because success bred inertia and inertia bred lock-in. Now anybody can brief the software they actually want, and the portability, APIs and schemas that SaaS companies refused to build are precisely what an agent needs. It will be decided by inertia, not by AI, because AI is available to both sides: the incumbents have the same models as the newcomers, plus more data, more engineers and more money, and if the technology were the deciding factor they would already have won. Nokia when the mobile phone arrived had nothing to protect, and moved. Nokia when the iPhone arrived had fifteen years of success to protect, and did not. Which side of that path each SaaS provider ends up on will be settled by where it sits on the evolution axis and how much it has to protect, which is why the newcomers, not the incumbents, are the ones to watch.

Ship something somebody can actually use, give it away briefly, then take it away and find out whether anybody notices. Be profitable before you raise, so the investors are calling you rather than the other way round. And open source everything, because the technology was never the moat. Read it →
