# SourceVault

> Private code memory for AI. SourceVault indexes private repositories on infrastructure the customer controls (laptop, workstation, or their own server) and gives AI tools cited answers over that code. No source code leaves that infrastructure: Ollama generates the embeddings and a local SQLite file (sqlite-vec) stores the vectors on that same hardware, and the model that writes the answer runs there too.

Key facts:

- Vectors (code and git history) live in a local SQLite file via sqlite-vec: no vector database service to run. Fresh installs need Node and Ollama only; ChromaDB is optional (kept by installs that indexed on it). Hardware floor: 16 GB RAM, no GPU (qwen3.5:9b); 8–12 GB runs the compact profile (qwen3.5:4b).
- One-command install on macOS (Homebrew, native launchd services), Ubuntu/Debian Linux (curl | bash), and Windows via WSL2 (single PowerShell command), or Docker Compose for a shared team server.
- Exposes an MCP server, so OpenClaw and any other MCP client can query the same private, cited index.
- Sentinel enforcement layer: an access policy over what AI can read, DLP redaction of secrets from every response, and a tamper-evident audit log, plus signed provenance attestations classifying AI-authored and security-relevant commits.
- Answers cite exact file and line ranges. Git history and commit messages are indexed alongside code.
- One-time license pricing (Starter/Pro/Team/Enterprise; the SourceVault Gateway governance bundle is included in every tier) with 12 months of updates included, plus an optional Priority Support subscription ($195/month). There are no per-seat or per-token fees, and nothing auto-renews except Priority Support.
- Measured on five public repositories (express, zod, flask, ripgrep, kubernetes; 472 authored questions): 471 answers grounded in file-and-line citations, ground-truth file retrieved in the top five 71–88% of the time, fully local.
