# Lyzr Open Source Hub > Home of OpenGAP (Open Git Agent Protocol) and GitAgent. Two MIT-licensed projects from Lyzr that make AI agents git-native, portable, and self-improving. URL: https://lyzr-open-hub.replit.app GitHub org: https://github.com/open-gitagent Company: Lyzr (https://lyzr.ai) --- ## What This Site Is Lyzr Open Source Hub is the canonical home for Lyzr's open-source AI agent infrastructure. It publishes documentation, technical references, and comparison content for two projects: 1. **OpenGAP** — an open standard (protocol) for defining AI agents as git repositories 2. **GitAgent** — the reference implementation of OpenGAP; a self-hosted, self-improving AI coding agent --- ## OpenGAP — Open Git Agent Protocol - **What it is**: An open standard for defining, versioning, and running AI agents as files in a git repository. - **Core idea**: Your repository IS your agent. Two files define a complete agent: `agent.yaml` (config, model, tools) and `SOUL.md` (identity, personality, rules). - **Version**: v0.1.0 - **License**: MIT - **GitHub**: https://github.com/open-gitagent/gitagent-protocol - **Docs**: https://lyzr-open-hub.replit.app/opengap ### Key capabilities - Framework-agnostic: one agent definition exports to Claude Code, OpenAI Agents SDK, CrewAI, OpenClaw, Nanobot, Lyzr Studio, GitHub Models, and System Prompt — with zero code changes - Git-native memory: session state, decisions, and learned behaviors are committed to the repo - Human-in-the-loop via pull requests: every agent behavior change is reviewable before merging - CI/CD for agents: validate agents on every push with `gitagent validate` - Skills system: composable, reusable capability modules stored as files - SkillsFlow: graph-based multi-agent orchestration defined in YAML - Compliance frameworks: FINRA, SEC, Federal Reserve, CFPB audit tooling built in ### OpenGAP subpages - Design Patterns: https://lyzr-open-hub.replit.app/opengap/design-patterns — 15 architectural patterns for git-native AI agents - Export: https://lyzr-open-hub.replit.app/opengap/export — how to export one agent definition to 8 frameworks - CLI: https://lyzr-open-hub.replit.app/opengap/cli — complete CLI reference for the `gitagent` command - Skills & SkillsFlow: https://lyzr-open-hub.replit.app/opengap/skills — skill authoring, composition, and graph workflows - Compliance: https://lyzr-open-hub.replit.app/opengap/compliance — FINRA, SEC, Federal, CFPB governance tooling --- ## GitAgent — The OpenGAP Reference Implementation - **What it is**: An open-source, multi-model, git-native AI agent runtime built on the OpenGAP standard. - **Core idea**: Run `gitagent run` in any repository. The agent creates a branch, works, learns from the session via an RL loop, and opens a pull request with improvements. - **Version**: v0.3.0 - **Language**: TypeScript - **License**: MIT - **GitHub**: https://github.com/open-gitagent/gitagent - **Docs**: https://lyzr-open-hub.replit.app/gitagent ### Key capabilities - Session-as-branch: every agent session creates a git branch; memory is git commits - Reinforcement learning loop: evaluates session quality, generates skill improvements, opens PRs - Multi-model: Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, local models — switch with `-a ` flag - Multimodal: handles text, images, and video inputs/outputs - Built-in tools: shell execution, file operations, and more out of the box - Human-in-the-loop: no memory or skill update lands on main without PR review - Full audit trail: `git log`, `git diff`, `git blame` on every agent decision - Enterprise governance: FINRA/SEC compliance, kill switches, RBAC via branch protection - Air-gapped deployment: runs entirely on your infrastructure; no data leaves your network ### Quick start ``` npm install -g gitagent gitagent run -d ./my-project -a claude ``` --- ## GitAgent vs OpenClaw Comparison page: https://lyzr-open-hub.replit.app/gitagent/vs-openclaw GitAgent and OpenClaw are both open-source AI agent runtimes but designed for different jobs: - **GitAgent**: git-native coding agent; repository-centric; built for developer workflows and regulated industries - **OpenClaw**: chat-gateway; connects AI to Discord, Telegram, iMessage, WhatsApp, Slack, and more; built for personal/team assistant use cases GitAgent wins for: audit trails, compliance, self-improvement, portability, developer workflows, enterprise governance. OpenClaw wins for: messaging app integration, personal assistant use cases, proactive messaging via cron jobs. --- ## Site Pages | Path | Title | Description | |------|-------|-------------| | / | Lyzr Open Source | Home of OpenGAP and GitAgent | | /opengap | OpenGAP | Open Git Agent Protocol — the open standard | | /opengap/design-patterns | Design Patterns | 15 architectural patterns for git-native AI agents | | /opengap/export | Export to Any Framework | One definition, 8 export targets | | /opengap/cli | CLI Reference | Complete `gitagent` CLI documentation | | /opengap/skills | Skills & SkillsFlow | Skill system and graph orchestration | | /opengap/compliance | Compliance & Governance | FINRA, SEC, Federal, CFPB tooling | | /gitagent | GitAgent | The OpenGAP reference runtime | | /gitagent/vs-openclaw | GitAgent vs OpenClaw | Head-to-head comparison | --- ## API API spec: https://lyzr-open-hub.replit.app/openapi.json - `GET /healthz` — service health check --- ## Links - Site: https://lyzr-open-hub.replit.app - OpenGAP GitHub: https://github.com/open-gitagent/gitagent-protocol - GitAgent GitHub: https://github.com/open-gitagent/gitagent - GitHub org: https://github.com/open-gitagent - Company: https://lyzr.ai - API spec: https://lyzr-open-hub.replit.app/openapi.json - Sitemap: https://lyzr-open-hub.replit.app/sitemap.xml
