Show HN: Transient – CLI Governance layer for AI agents

TL;DR

CLI permission policy and audit layer for AI agents. Two minute installation. When an agent goes wrong the question is always the same: what did it do, was it authorised, can you prove it. Only 21% of companies have a mature governance model for autonomous agents.

Nauti's Take

Transient solves a real ops problem: AI agents routinely exceed their intended scope, and a no-code-change audit layer is a practical, deployable answer. The catch: alpha-grade software means the security model isn't mature — a signed receipt doesn't help if the policy definitions are incomplete.

Worth testing in non-critical pipelines, but don't gate sensitive workflows on it yet.
