MERITT Open

Public starter assets and developer entry points for adopting MERITT in local repos, coding-agent workflows, and runtime pilots.

This repository is the open-source side of the MERITT distribution strategy:

• MIR is the open taxonomy and normalization layer
• local starter assets help developers adopt MERITT in real repos
• hosted MERITT remains the shared authority plane for approvals, runtime inventory, policy operations, and enterprise governance

What this repo is for

• starter repos and templates
• public quickstart assets
• example runtime configs
• split-ready supporting material for MIR, CLI, adapters, and verifier workflows

What stays outside this repo

• hosted control-plane code
• backoffice and enterprise admin internals
• premium LIM intelligence
• managed governance operations

Current starter

• meritt-openshell-starter/ — minimal starter structure for getting MIR and the OpenShell policy compiler into a real repo

Public repo structure

• mir-taxonomy — the open MIR taxonomy
• meritt-open — starter assets and public developer entry points

Why this split exists

The open layer is designed to get MERITT into repos, local agent workflows, and runtime pilots quickly.

The paid MERITT platform exists for the shared operational layer:

• shared policy management
• approval and escalation flows
• runtime inventory
• audit workflows
• enterprise reporting
• managed LIM intelligence
