Who it is forA solo developer switching between several projects who wants an agent to clarify, build, and test a feature before reviewing it.
The problemSwitching between IDEs makes it hard to track which project is running and where it stopped, and long agent chat logs bury the real changes.
The outcomeA run that clarifies scope, implements and tests the change, then pauses at a gate where the developer approves or rejects it from the inbox.
What you need first
- A Linux host with Git, Docker, and Docker Compose installed
- An API key for at least one supported agent backend, or a ~/.codex/auth.json login for codex
- Optional Git credentials if agents should push branches or open PRs or MRs
Steps
- Run
git clone https://github.com/cocofhu/grasp.gitand thencd grasp - Run
./start.sh -dand open the Web UI - Sign in with the demo account, then in the setup wizard select an agent backend and save its API key
- Start a run from the home page with a single prompt
- When the run pauses at a human gate, review the spec, preview page, or code diff in the inbox and approve or reject
Prompt for your agent
Using the Grasp repo (cocofhu/grasp), start a run for <task description> from the home page of a local Grasp instance. Confirm the run reaches the human gate, then report the spec and the code diff summary the reviewer will see.
Caveat. This release requires a fresh install with an empty database and data directory, and the default login admin / demo1234 is for local evaluation only.
