How to defend a change on a browser whiteboard with Grip

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

Who it is forA developer preparing to walk a reviewer or team through a change, or wanting a visual check of their own design reasoning.

The problemAnswering design questions verbally about a change is hard to prepare for when the change is not laid out visually.

The outcomeThe change appears in the browser as parts and arrows, with questions pinned to it, so the developer can answer each one on the diagram.

What you need first

  • Python 3.11 or newer on Linux, macOS or Windows
  • git installed and a repository to test in
  • One model option: an installed Claude Code, Codex or Gemini CLI, an Anthropic API key, an OpenAI-compatible API, Ollama, or the offline fake provider

Steps

  1. Install Grip with pipx install grip-hook
  2. Stage the change you want to defend
  3. Run grip whiteboard to open the change in your browser
  4. Answer the pinned questions, including what a malicious actor could do

Prompt for your agent

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.

Caveat. The whiteboard defense is one of several modes, and the README says the hook must be configured with hook_mode = "whiteboard" to defend every push there.
