Entire stores the whole agent session. Aura judges the change it produced.
Entire is independent, distributed Git hosting built for the agent era: every agent session is captured and stored in the repo next to the code, resumable across tools, on a network with regional mirrors that can mirror GitHub. It is the closest tool to Aura in what it believes — that in the agent era the code is only half the artifact and the intent behind it belongs in version control. The two draw the line in different places. Entire preserves what happened. Aura reads the change at the logic level, checks it against the intent it was committed with, and proves it against the goal.
What each one is for
What Entire is great at
- Independent Git hosting
Fast, distributed, multi-region hosting — US, EU and Australia — that can mirror an existing GitHub repo and stand on its own. If your worry is that GitHub is the single point everything routes through, this is a serious answer to it.
- The session is attached, not archived
“Every agent session stored in your repo.” Each session is written as a Git ref beside the commit and resumes across any agent, so the context that produced a change travels with the change instead of dying in a terminal.
- Secrets handled before storage
Sensitive data stays on your machine, and Entire detects and redacts secrets before a session is stored. Capturing everything is only safe if this part is right, and they took it seriously.
- Trails, gates and runners
The thread from idea to merge is a first-class object, with review signals — confidence, risk, drift — and in-repo runners that rerun on every push and become the merge criteria. It is a well-drawn take on making “LGTM” mean something.
- Pedigree and licence
Founded by GitHub’s former CEO, well funded, and MIT licensed — the most permissive licence of any tool on this page. It is the best-distributed product Aura is compared with.
What Aura adds on top
- A read of the change, not a copy of the session
Storing the transcript tells you what the agent did. Aura’s AST diff tells you what the code now does — which functions changed, what calls them, and what it means, in plain language. Preservation and review are different jobs.
- Intent, checked against the AST
Aura compares the reason a commit claims against what the syntax tree actually changed, and blocks the commit when they disagree. Entire’s gates score drift and risk as signals; Aura’s intent-poisoning check is a computed match that fails the commit, not a dashboard reading.
- A proof, not a merge signal
Every task carries the goal it was meant to deliver. Aura checks the commit against it and returns a verdict — proven, partial, or not wired — sealed into a portable record. A runner that passes says the checks ran; a proof says the goal was met.
- It drives the agents, safely
Crew works a dependency graph across isolated worktrees, and symbol-level claims warn two agents before they touch the same function. A deletion guard stops a commit that removes an export nothing asked it to remove. Entire captures agent work; Aura also runs it without letting the agents collide.
- A desktop app in plain language
Aura ships a desktop app that reads a change for someone who is not going to grep a git ref — the meaning of each function, the intent, the verdict. Entire is CLI-first.
Dimension by dimension
Side by side
When to pick which
Pick Entire if…
- You want to move off GitHub onto independent, distributed hosting, and a network you can mirror and pin by region is the point.
- Preserving every agent session in the repo, resumable across tools, matters to you more than a verdict on the diff.
- You are betting on the team — an ex-GitHub-CEO and a $60M seed behind an MIT-licensed stack.
Pick Aura if…
- You want the change read at the logic level and proven against its goal, not only stored.
- You want the stated intent checked against what the code actually did, with a mismatch blocked at the commit.
- You run several agents at once and need them kept off each other’s functions, with a guard on deletions.
- You want a desktop app and a plain-language reading of each change, not a CLI-only workflow.
Keep Entire. Add the control layer.
They sit at different layers of the same Git repository, and they compose. Let Entire host the repo and keep the session record; install the Aura CLI on that same repo and every commit still goes through the intent check, the deletion guard and a proof against its goal — whichever network it is pushed to. Storing the session and judging the change are different jobs, and you can have both.
Aura & Entire
Is Aura the same as Entire?
They share a thesis — that in the agent era the code is half the artifact and the intent behind it belongs in version control — and they split on what to do about it. Entire is independent Git hosting that stores the whole agent session beside the code. Aura is a semantic layer that reads each change at the AST level, checks it against the intent it was committed with, and proves it against the goal. One preserves what happened; the other decides whether it was right.
Isn’t Entire much better funded?
Yes. Entire raised a $60M seed, is led by GitHub’s former CEO, and is the best-distributed tool on this page. Aura is independent and competes on depth: an AST-level intent-vs-change check that blocks a bad commit, a goal ↔ commit proof, parallel-agent orchestration with collision safety and a deletion guard, and a plain-language desktop app. Funding buys reach; it does not add those.
Can I use Entire and Aura together?
Yes, and they do not conflict. Host on Entire’s network for its distribution and session refs; install the Aura CLI on the same repository for the commit gate and the proof. They operate at different layers of one Git repo.
Does Aura store my whole agent session the way Entire does?
Not the full transcript. Aura records the intent behind each commit, a proof against the goal, and the semantic history of the code — not every prompt and tool call as a Git ref. If preserving the entire session verbatim is the requirement, that is Entire’s design centre, not Aura’s.
