grip is a git pre-push hook that quizzes you on your own diff and holds the push until you pass a model-graded check.

5 use cases

  • Block pushes until you can explain your diff

    Install Grip's pre-push hook so each push gets five questions on your change first.

    View prompt
    Using the grip repo at github.com/guilyx/grip, run `grip init` inside <repo path> and then `git push` to trigger the five quiz questions. Expected output: five questions about the staged diff followed by a Grip Score out of 100. Verify that .grip.toml exists in <repo path> and the pre-push hook is installed.
  • Defend a change on a browser whiteboard

    Draw your change as parts and arrows with the questions pinned to it, including malicious actor cases.

    View prompt
    Using the grip repo at github.com/guilyx/grip, stage the changes in <repo path> and run `grip whiteboard --provider fake` to see the offline whiteboard. Expected output: the change drawn in the browser with questions pinned to it. Verify that the browser page shows the parts, arrows and questions for the staged files.
  • Stop a coding agent from pushing until it passes

    Use /grip inside a coding agent and rely on the gate that holds its pushes until you pass.

    View prompt
    Using the grip repo at github.com/guilyx/grip, run `grip init` in <repo path> and then /grip inside the coding agent on the current change. Expected output: a quiz on the staged diff and a Grip Score out of 100. Verify that a push attempted by the agent is held until the score passes.
  • Quiz a whole branch before opening a pull request

    Run Grip against everything since main so the full branch is checked, not one commit.

    View prompt
    Using the grip repo at github.com/guilyx/grip, check out the feature branch in <repo path> and run `grip quiz --branch --provider fake` to get an offline quiz on the whole branch. Expected output: five questions covering changes since main. Verify that the questions refer to files changed on the branch.
  • Try Grip offline with a scripted grader

    Run the fake provider on a scratch repo to see the quiz and whiteboard with no account or key.

    View prompt
    Using the grip repo at github.com/guilyx/grip, follow the offline trial in a new folder <repo path> with the fake provider. Expected output: five terminal questions from `grip quiz --provider fake` and a browser whiteboard from `grip whiteboard --provider fake`. Verify that no push was blocked, since grip init was not run.
