Vericairn 0.8.3

Vericairn Community

Vericairn is a local-first creation and operations platform. It helps you, alone or as an organization, carry work from an intention to a reviewed, delivered and maintained result, with its decisions, sources and history kept as records you own: by default in a git repository beside your work, or in a store on one machine, with hosted options planned. People and agents do the work, and nothing is released until you accept it. Software is its first domain: today Vericairn helps you build and ship software with coding agents. Its catalog plans more than 3,000 entries across creative and technical work and 27 industries, from books, courses and games to construction, medicine and finance; none of them ships yet.

Its Community edition keeps work, decisions, evidence and history as append-only, content-addressed, signed records. These packages contain Community code only, under Apache-2.0, authored by Jason Furr. The source, releases and guides are at https://github.com/Vericairn/vericairn.

Command line

With the .NET 10 SDK installed:

dotnet tool install --global dotnet-vc
dotnet vc version
dotnet vc doctor

Or keep the tool in a repository's local manifest:

dotnet new tool-manifest
dotnet tool install dotnet-vc
dotnet vc version

The tool is framework-dependent and uses the .NET and ASP.NET Core runtimes included with the SDK. The self-contained release archives continue to provide the vericairn executable for machines without the SDK. The macOS archives also include the Secure Enclave helper; the portable NuGet tool does not. The worker's agent-side MCP launcher still resolves vericairn; use the archive executable on PATH for worker runs. The package smoke checks qualify tool invocation and SDK consumption, not a NuGet-only worker run.

SDK

In a .NET 10 project:

dotnet add package Vericairn

Vericairn brings Vericairn.Sdk, Vericairn.Protocol and Vericairn.Records. The SDK's namespace remains Vericairn.Sdk; VericairnClient implements the protocol's IEstateApi. The front-door package holds no assembly of its own, so existing SDK consumers and the supporting libraries use the same assemblies.

Vericairn.Runtime provides the embedded runtime. Vericairn.Daemon hosts it and requires the ASP.NET Core shared framework. Vericairn.Mcp is the Model Context Protocol adapter over the protocol. These remain separate packages for hosts that need them; installing the SDK alone does not bring the daemon or runtime.

Packages follow the repository's version. Assembly-bearing packages have portable symbols with Source Link from the .NET SDK; the dependency-only Vericairn package needs no symbol package.

See the repository, API and SDK guide, and the release documentation.
