- <h2>Why this page exists</h2>
279
- <ul><li>ThumbGate learns from thumbs-up and thumbs-down feedback without requiring a separate spec-writing workflow.</li><li>SpecLock is strongest when a team already has strong specifications and wants enforcement tied to those documents.</li><li>ThumbGate is strongest when the pain is repeated agent mistakes across Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini, Amp, and OpenCode.</li></ul>

283
- <h2>The product difference in one sentence</h2>
284
- <p>SpecLock helps a team codify rules before the work begins. ThumbGate helps a team convert real thumbs-up/down feedback into live pre-action checks after the work reveals what actually breaks.</p><p>That means ThumbGate is better for fast-moving agent workflows where the problem is not writing more specs, but preventing the same mistake from happening again tomorrow.</p>

288
- <h2>Choose ThumbGate when</h2>
289
-
290
- <ul><li>Your agent already repeats known mistakes and you need the block to happen before tool execution.</li><li>You want one feedback loop that supports both reinforcement from thumbs up and prevention from thumbs down.</li><li>You need proof assets, automation reports, and compatibility across multiple coding agents.</li></ul>

- <section class="detail-section">
293
- <h2>Choose SpecLock when</h2>
294
-
295
- <ul><li>Your team already maintains strong PRDs or system specs and wants the model constrained against those artifacts.</li><li>Your primary problem is uncontrolled file edits, not a missing feedback-to-enforcement loop.</li><li>You are willing to invest in manual constraint authoring as part of the workflow.</li></ul>

- <details class="faq-item">
301
- <summary>Is ThumbGate trying to replace specs?</summary>
302
- <p>No. ThumbGate complements specs by capturing thumbs-up/down feedback from live agent behavior and enforcing the learned rules as pre-action checks.</p>
303
- </details>
304
- <details class="faq-item">
305
- <summary>What does ThumbGate do that SpecLock does not?</summary>
306
- <p>ThumbGate turns explicit feedback into searchable memory, auto-generated prevention rules, and runtime checks that block repeated mistakes before the next tool call executes.</p>

283
- <h2>What changed</h2>
284
- <p>The model is no longer the whole system. The harness decides which instructions, tools, context packs, and approval rules the model sees before it acts.</p><p>When a team stuffs every rule into a global prompt, the agent loses reasoning room. When it routes work through lean discovery surfaces, the agent can fetch the exact tool schema, lesson, or harness only when the task requires it.</p>

290
- <ul><li>Scores global agent docs so AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, and GEMINI.md stay lean instead of becoming unreviewable prompt bundles.</li><li>Publishes progressive MCP discovery through lightweight indexes and per-tool schema URLs.</li><li>Selects specialized gate harnesses for deploy, code-edit, and database-write actions instead of loading every gate for every workflow.</li><li>Turns thumbs-down feedback into prevention rules, then into hard Pre-Action Checks that block repeated mistakes.</li></ul>

294
