Stop re-explaining your codebase every session. Memory, tasks, and governance that persist across Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and Gemini CLI.

npm GitHub Action License: MIT Glama API Governance

Try it in 2 minutes

npx delimit-cli demo     # See governance in action — no setup needed
npx delimit-cli init     # Set up governance for your project
npx delimit-cli setup    # Configure your AI assistants

No API keys. No account. No config files.

Pick your first win

Protect my API — catch breaking changes before merge:

npx delimit-cli try
# Creates a sample API, introduces breaking changes, shows what gets blocked.
# Saves a governance report to delimit-report.md

Watch for drift — detect spec changes without review:

npx delimit-cli init        # Sets up governance + drift baseline
# Weekly drift checks run automatically via GitHub Action

Run PR copilot — governance gates on every pull request:

# .github/workflows/api-governance.yml
- uses: delimit-ai/delimit-action@v1
  with:
    spec: api/openapi.yaml
# Posts gate status, violations, and remediation in PR comments

What's New in v3.15

  • Agent Swarm -- 20 AI agents across 4 ventures with namespace isolation and tiered approvals

  • Prompt Playbook -- versioned, reusable prompts with {{variable}} syntax

  • Multi-model code review -- consolidated feedback from 3+ AI models

  • PII/secret redaction -- auto-scan and redact before sending to external LLMs

  • Collision detection -- prevent two AI models from editing the same file

  • 4-model deliberation -- Claude + Grok + Gemini + Codex debate until consensus

  • Change management -- docs freshness check enforced before deploy

  • 171 MCP tools -- governance, context, shipping, observability, orchestration, and swarm

GitHub Action

Zero-config -- auto-detects your OpenAPI spec:

- uses: delimit-ai/delimit-action@v1

Or with full configuration:

name: API Contract Check
on: pull_request

jobs:
  delimit:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    permissions:
      pull-requests: write
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
        with:
          fetch-depth: 0
      - uses: delimit-ai/delimit-action@v1
        with:
          spec: api/openapi.yaml

That's it. Delimit auto-fetches the base branch spec, diffs it, and posts a PR comment with breaking changes, semver classification, migration guides, and governance gate results.

What the MCP toolkit adds

When installed into your AI coding assistant, Delimit provides tools across two tiers:

Free (no account needed)

  • API governance -- lint, diff, policy enforcement, semver classification

  • Persistent ledger -- track tasks across sessions, shared between all AI assistants

  • Zero-spec extraction -- generate OpenAPI specs from FastAPI, Express, or NestJS source

  • Project scan -- auto-detect specs, frameworks, security issues, and tests

  • Quickstart -- guided first-run that proves value in 60 seconds

Pro

  • Multi-model deliberation -- Grok, Gemini, and Codex debate until they agree

  • Security audit -- dependency scanning, secret detection, SAST analysis

  • Test verification -- confirms tests ran, measures coverage, generates new tests

  • Memory & vault -- persistent context and encrypted secrets across sessions

  • Evidence collection -- governance audit trail for compliance

  • Deploy pipeline -- governed build, publish, and rollback

  • OS layer -- agent identity, execution plans, approval gates

What It Detects

27 change types (17 breaking, 10 non-breaking) -- deterministic rules, not AI inference. Same input always produces the same result.
