# Enforce coding-agent protocols mechanically with Harmonist

Drop a multi-agent protocol pack into a project so coding assistants must satisfy reviewer, memory, and supply-chain gates before code-changing work completes.

## Prerequisites

Python 3.9+, Git, a supported coding assistant such as Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, Windsurf, Aider, OpenCode, OpenClaw, or Gemini CLI

## Installation

Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment:
- git clone https://github.com/GammaLabTechnologies/harmonist.git

Requirements and caveats from upstream:
- [![Python 3.9+](https://img.shields.io/badge/python-3.9+-blue.svg)](https://www.python.org/downloads/)
- required reviewer was missing, whether session-handoff.md was
- No npm, no Docker, no LangChain, no vector database. **Pure Python

Basic usage or getting-started notes:
- [Quick start](#quick-start)
- upgrade, conversion, install, and the enforcement runtime all run
- The pack folder may have any name — docs refer to it as <PACK_DIR>.
