Hope is not a dependency strategy.

Watch Tapid install a package.

A package install brings someone else's code into your project. Tapid verifies the download, records the exact dependency tree, and keeps install scripts from running on their own.

Terminal session running tapid install is-char

We are building a safer way to bring code into software.

Tapid is a package manager that makes dependency installation controlled and inspectable.

Verify the package archive

Tapid compares supported downloads with the checksum published by the registry. A mismatch stops the install.

Record the dependency tree

tapid.lock records exact package versions and relationships so the project has an inspectable installation record.

Keep install scripts disabled

Dependency lifecycle scripts do not run automatically while Tapid installs a package.

Give agents an explicit command

Coding agents can request a named package and version through the same controlled installation path a developer uses.

Give coding agents a controlled way to install packages.

An agent can add a dependency in seconds. Tapid makes the install inspectable. It verifies the download, keeps dependency scripts disabled, writes the dependency tree to tapid.lock, and can check that record before the project is reused.

AI malware scanning is in development. The current CLI does not claim that a matching package is safe.

Built around the problem in front of you.

The useful workflow depends on what you are responsible for and how many people need to trust the result.

When one developer owns the whole stack

A solo developer cannot review every line in every package release. Tapid checks the download against the registry checksum, records the exact dependencies used, and leaves dependency install scripts disabled. That does not prove the code is safe, but it makes every install easier to inspect and reproduce.

When AI agents update dependencies

As a team grows, coding agents may update dependencies before anyone has reviewed what enters the project. Tapid gives agents a controlled installation path and shows developers what changed since the previous version, so the change can be reviewed before it becomes part of the build.

When an install must work the same way twice

A lockfile records the exact packages and dependency relationships Tapid installed. Teams can inspect that record, keep it with the project, and verify it before reusing the same inputs in another environment.
