Imbue, Inc.
Vet is a fast, local code review tool that reads an AI coding agent's conversation history alongside the diff to catch mistakes standard code review misses.
Vet is open-sourced by the Imbue team and free for any use, including commercial use.
AGPL-3.0
Vet ships as a reusable GitHub Action that posts review comments on every pull request.
Vet works with Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, and local models via Ollama or compatible runtimes.
Vet runs locally on the user's machine before push with no telemetry and no account required; with a local model, code never leaves the machine.
Reviewing code produced by AI coding agents, including catching agent-specific failures such as fake data or unexecuted tests.
OAuth credentials for Minds are stored securely and never shared with model providers; internal access is restricted and logged.
User data from Google is encrypted in transit and at rest, and each user's agent runs in an isolated, per-user environment.
