🛡️ Rigour

The Control Room for AI-Assisted Engineering.

Rigour is a high-fidelity governance platform that ensures AI agents (Cursor, Claude, VS Code) follow your project's engineering standards. It bridges the gap between AI creativity and production-grade reliability.

⚡ Quick Start (60 Seconds)​

You don't need to read a book. Just run these 3 commands in your project root:

1. Initialize​

Align Rigour with your project's role (API, UI, etc.) and paradigm (OOP, Functional).

npx @rigour-labs/cli init

2. Index​

Build a semantic map of your codebase so AI agents can "reason" about your patterns.

npx @rigour-labs/cli index --semantic

3. Govern (Launch Studio)​

Open the visual Mission Control to shadow AI agents and arbitrate decisions in real-time.

npx @rigour-labs/cli studio

🚀 Key Features​

  • Universal Semantic Search: Ask your codebase questions in natural language.
  • Live Shadowing: Watch every AI tool call and decision in a real-time audit trail.
  • Human-in-the-Loop (HITL): Approve or Reject AI changes directly from the browser.
  • Polyglot Support: High-fidelity indexing for Python, Go, Rust, Java, C++, TypeScript, and more.

🛡️ "Local Honest" Governance​

Rigour is built on a "Local-First" philosophy. We believe that engineering governance should be private, instantaneous, and strictly under your control.

  • No Login Required: Start governing in 60 seconds without creating an account.
  • Zero-Telemetry: Your source code and command history never leave your machine.
  • Air-Gapped Sync: The "Local Bridge" between your IDE and Studio happens entirely on your local filesystem.

This isn't just a feature—it's our trust moat.
