Best for
  • Developers and teams using AI coding assistants (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor).
  • Projects with multiple context files and complex structure.
  • Teams that need to maintain accurate agent context.
  • Environments with strict security requirements for MCP configs (e.g., no hardcoded API keys).
  • Engineering teams scaling AI coding agents while controlling spend
  • Platform teams that need auditable, rollback-aware agent execution records
  • Organizations using multiple agents (Claude, Codex, Gemini) under one governed flow
Not for
  • Projects that don't use AI context files.
  • Simple, solo projects where files change infrequently (may be overkill).
  • Non-critical projects that don't require strict context maintenance.
  • Developers who just want a simple code-completion helper without run governance
  • Teams unwilling to accept local JSONL run records with HMAC signing
  • Environments without a supported adapter (Claude/Codex/Gemini CLIs, direct provider, or verifier-only)
Required permissions
  • Reads context and config files in the project directory (e.g., CLAUDE.md, .mcp.json).
  • Optionally reads user-level config files (e.g., ~/.claude/settings.json) and global MCP configs (with --mcp-global).
  • Optionally reads agent history and memory files in the user's home directory (e.g., ~/.claude/history.jsonl) when session or skill audits are enabled.
  • Optionally writes context files to fix broken paths when --fix is enabled.
  • Read/write access to the configured repo root (writable scope restrictable via --allow-path/--deny-path)
  • Ability to invoke the chosen agent CLI (Claude/Codex/Gemini, etc.) and its underlying model account
  • Local disk writes for run records, receipts, and share outputs (share/run-receipt., etc.)
  • Execution of user-configured verifier commands (e.g. npm test)
Risks and side effects
  • Auto-fix (--fix) may modify files unexpectedly; preview with --fix-dry-run and review changes.
  • Session audit accesses sensitive history files in the home directory; enable only in trusted environments.
  • The tool reads config and context files that may contain secrets (e.g., API keys); ensure access is controlled.
  • Redundancy checks may produce false positives as inferred content may vary by context.
  • Verifier commands are executed; poorly chosen verifier commands carry security risk despite preflight policy checks
  • Cost and token figures may be estimates (labeled with provenance) and should not be treated as settled accounting
  • Receipt integrity must be verified before use as trustworthy evidence; missing rollback evidence is flagged as EVIDENCE_BOUNDARY
  • Policy defaults come from martin.config.yaml and can be overridden by CLI flags; misconfiguration can loosen safety boundaries
