Oak is an open source version control system (VCS) designed specifically for AI agents. It provides a command line client ( oak ) and a reusable Rust library ( oakvcs core ) that agents use to read, write, branch, and collaborate on code. Unlike Git, Oak is content addressed (using BLAKE3 hashing) and supports lazy mounts that hydrate files on demand, enabling agents to start editing any repository in seconds without a full clone. It also offers sparse (partial) clones for working with large monorepos, and branch per session as the default unit of work, with branch descriptions replacing per commit messages.
