The first public release of Wit — an agent coordination protocol for shared codebases.

What's in this release

Core daemon and CLI:

• Background daemon with SQLite persistence (WAL mode) on a Unix domain socket
• wit init — creates .wit/, starts daemon, generates CLAUDE.md with coordination instructions
• wit status — shows all active intents, locks, contracts, and conflicts
• wit declare — announce intent to work on specific files/symbols
• wit lock / wit release — acquire and release symbol-level locks
• wit watch — live coordination dashboard
• wit hook install — git pre-commit hook for contract enforcement + intent-to-commit trailers
• All commands support --json for machine-readable output

Semantic locking via Tree-sitter:

• Tree-sitter WASM parsing for TypeScript, JavaScript, and Python
• Symbol-level locking (functions, classes, types) — not file-level
• Call graph extraction and dependency-aware caller warnings

Conflict detection:

• Intent overlap detection (byte-range level)
• Lock intersection warnings
• Dependency chain conflict detection

Contracts:

• Propose/accept/reject interface contracts
• Git pre-commit hook enforcement of accepted contracts
• Signature extraction via Tree-sitter

Protocol:

• Full JSON-RPC 2.0 protocol with 12 methods
• Human-readable spec at docs/PROTOCOL.md
• Machine-readable OpenRPC 1.4.0 spec at docs/openrpc.json

Claude Code integration:

• wit init auto-generates CLAUDE.md so Claude Code agents coordinate automatically
• Plugin available via /plugin marketplace add amaar-mc/wit
• Per-agent session identity via WIT_SESSION env var

Install

curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash
bun install -g wit-protocol
wit init

What's next

• More language support (Go, Rust, Java/Kotlin)
• MCP server for native tool integration
• Windows support
• Standalone binary via bun compile
