Alvi is an open-source CLI and MCP server that keeps AI coding agents fast, focused, and accountable. It adds structured task lifecycles, repository context, and configurable gates for TypeScript, ESLint, secrets, architecture, complexity, and scope. Unlike agent rules that only guide behavior, Alvi checks real changes and can require human approval before Git commits or pushes. Connect it to Cursor, VS Code Copilot, or Kiro, and bring consistent engineering governance to development and CI.
AI coding agents can write code quickly, but speed without structure can mean oversized diffs, skipped checks, broken architecture, and unclear ownership. Alvi sits between the agent and the repository to provide context, lifecycle management, quality gates, and approval at the moments that matter. We built it for developers who want to move faster without handing over control of what gets changed and shipped.
