Show HN: Transient – CLI Governance layer for AI agents

Category: devtools

Tags: ai-governance, security, cli-tool

Score: 7.0/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 6, Documentation: 8, Utility: 7)

Transient is a CLI governance layer that intercepts and audits AI agent actions at the process boundary, providing tamper-evident receipts and policy enforcement without modifying agent code. It's interesting because it addresses the critical accountability gap in autonomous AI systems by operating outside the agent's control, using cryptographic signatures and an open protocol (ATP 1.0) for verification.

Target audience: devops, backend devs, ai-engineers
