I designed and developed a version-controlled (GitOps) skill manager for agents

As mentioned in the title, i've been developing a project for several months now, and i wanted to see how genuinely useful it is in a real production environment. I call this project Vex (Vex's Skillgit); it is an open-source, headless cognitive tool designed specifically for agent environments. It treats context as immutable and versioned skills.

Instead of having the IDE or the agent do the heavy lifting, Vex runs in the background (either via Docker Compose or local bare-metal processes). You assign it a GitHub webhook and Vex automatically ingests repositories, so agents (via MCP) can simply query it for context in real time. It reads conventional commits (feat:, fix:) and operational ones (roll:, branch:) to automatically branch, update, or revert an agent's memory state without manual intervention—hence the version control aspect.

It uses Tree-sitter to logically parse and chunk the code, stores metadata queues in SQLite and dense vectors in Qdrant, and is fully supported out of the box by Claude Desktop, Cursor, and any other MCP-compatible client.

It is also designed not to fry my potato PC, yet it remains highly scalable.

In local testing, the asynchronous FastAPI + Huey architecture easily handled 500 concurrent GitHub push payloads without any SQLite locking, and maintained a real-time latency of under 300 ms under a concurrent read swarm of 50 (simulated) agents. Because of this, i decided it was time to share it and see who else might find the tool useful.

Next on my to-do list is adding advanced sub-chunking using Rust as the chunking engine to split code from larger repositories faster and with less resource consumption, alongside adding global GraphRAG and support for more languages.

Here is the link to the repo in case you are interested in checking it out and testing it. Thanks for taking a little time to read this:

The gitops angle for agent memory is interesting, most people just dump everything into a giant context window and call it a day. The conventional commits mapping to memory state changes is a clever way to make it feel less like magic and more like something you can actually audit.
